You stole it! EVO baggers are the hot ticket nowadays, like FXRs but for grown ups.

100 miles isn't far, especially if someone is driving with you - stop after 20 to make sure nothing is falling off, and take her home.

Bring hand tools just in case

 

hand tools, zip ties, duck tap, bungee chords, quart of oil, add fresh gas and enjoy the ride home

 

You should be ashamed of yourself stealing that man's Harley.

If it seems to sag in front, or nose dive bad on stops, maybe even clunk up front on big bumps, probably just no air in the forks; if it's been sitting a long time, might be zero pressure. One rider that doesn't weigh a lot, you might not even notice. If it seems to need a lot of pull to get much response from the front brakes, and then grab kind of sudden, some of them did that, new premium brake pads like EBC or Lyndall should fix that. Would be a good idea to flush both brakes, too, might have original fluid.

If it has rubber valve stems, check them good; I've had one a lot less older than that bike break off (in my garage, was lucky!). People often just don't think to change valve stems. The seals in metal ones can eventually leak, but they won't blow like a rubber one.

If I could find one of those in good shape for that price, I'd want it for a sidecar driver. The one I have would be even better, but that would be kind of a waste for a Tour Glide with an S&S putting out close to 100hp; it's just too much fun to add another wheel and spoil it.

 

Awesome deal!

 

That's good advice and should be quite enough. Fill with fresh fuel. If it's running and is rideable just take it easy. When you're safely home call in on the Evo section to introduce your 'new' bike and meet up with fellow owners. They will demand lots of photos!

 

You will not have to run a code, it will have the build date (week and yr) stamped on the tire on all tires since 2000
Look at the bottom of the side wall for "DOT" after DOT you will see 10-12 numbers/letters outlined with an oval. The last four digits will be the week/year. For example "1215" would mean the 12 week of 2015. Some tires will have all 10-12 digits after DOT in one oval others will have the first 6-8 digits in an oval with the last four digits in a separate oval. The last 4 digits which will be numbers are the week/yr.
Tires made before 2000 can be confusing as they only have 3 digits for the date, first two digits are the week and the last in the year. Example 124 would be 12 week of 1994

If the tires on the bike are within 5 years of manufacture I would have no issue riding it home if its older I would likely opt for a trailer. LAst used bike I bought was in 2015, it was a 2008 WG with 4200 miles. The owner told me they were original tires so I knew they were made in 07 or 08. The bike was 200 miles away so I did not take a chance and carried a trailer to pick it up. The bike was always garage kept under a cover, looked like it had just rolled out of the showroom and the tires looked great but knowing the were 7-8 years old I was not going to chance it

As a side note it looks like you got a good deal on a good looking bike, share some pics with us when you get her home

 

Yes Sir, you did well.. 3700 is a PARTAY

 

Bring a tire pressure gauge and check pressure in both tires and also the front and rear air suspension.

Don't add air to the suspension with a normal pump. Look into getting a Harley pump. Runs about $40. Not a huge deal for your 100 mile ride but eventually you will want one.

ride cautiously until you are comfortable, and then be careful the rest of the way and you will pick up on any issues. 3 yr old tires should be good, check air pressure, oil levels and give lines and hoses a visual inspection. and enjoy your new ride.

 

If you don't like the price just drop it off at my Daughters in Woods X and I will pic it up in July.........Thanks!
