i rode a 2003 it was a great bike. good luck with your purchase.

 

Harley will give anyone a loan, just sayin, I'm sure an 08 is with-in your reach if you really want it..

 

If you're looking for an earlier model - look for one that has the larger fuel tank upgrade. You'll buds will thank you as you'll avoid being the 'guy who always has to stop for gas'!

 

I have a 2002 I bought in 2005, it has 120k on it. Transmission went 3 times, (2nd time was the dealer installed it wrong) They upgraded the Transmissions in 2005 on all bikes.
