I had posted in the Bagger section on this and it was suggested I ask these questions here.
I'll just repeat it here;
My local dealer was in the process of taking a 2001 Screamin' Eagle R/G in on trade tonight. I didn't catch the mileage. It looked to be in prestine cond.
The salesman I know there said it'll prob go for somewhere in the 16K range.
It's the gunmetal gray & black. It has lowers, & the shorty tour pack. That's always been a favorite of mine.
I know 01's don't have the beefier rear axle (one drawback? or is it?)
Is there anything else (pros/cons) I should know?
Electra Glides and Road Glide have had a 3/4" rear axle forever so it can't be that much of a draw back. I would check the mileage and see if the cam chain tensioners have been checked or replaced.Also the oil pumps seem to wear unevenly. I did mine at 27k and they were half worn. FLTRISEI2's are book value at about the same as an ULTRA. I love mine. Recalls include main circuit breaker and the 12 disk cd changer. If it hasnt had an oil pump and the chain tensioners done, and the mileage is 30+ or better I think I would walk away.
