So do Harley's hold their value better at these auctions over the customs? Just wondering.

hello- I have an 04 iron horse tejas. I recieved some good advice on this site about the bike, and i think all the problems will be worked out. Fit and finish...great. s & s motor- great. had several problems with leaks. gas tank was replaced, then it happened again and replaced the petcock. The gauges rarely work right..this is common in AIH. There were a few other minor problems but overall- it looks great and gets lots of attention. keep us posted on your purchase. My opinion, is the Outlaw is my favorite. a few bucks cheaper than slammer, it only needs custom exhaust and forward controls.

I have a 2000 Outlaw 107/6. Longshot view. On the AIH, the tank graphic is hard to see in pictures. The horse w/flames are Chameleon paint Copper/Purple and the purple is prominent in all but the sun.

This is the old design. It runs well, but I f'd up the light chrome when I stored it while doing an out of state job, so I gotta get that fixed. Runs real well. The guys are great there and will do whatever you want and support the bike too (fixing any probs that arise).

Will an AIH take a sissybar and a 2up seat?

I typically ride a passenger around. I'm interested in the following soft tail models:
Slammer
Judge
Bandit
Outlaw
Thunder

Most of what I see is overpriced for a bike that can no longer be readily maintained but if I could get a sissybar and 2up seat fairly easily and at a reasonable cost I might still buy one.

Thumbs up Thunder Mountain

Look at Thunder Mountain.They use Harley motors, trans, electronics, controls, etc. Depending on model they are as much as 80% Harley. Many really look like hardtails but are softail frames.

I have a 2005 Ironhorse LSC for sale. It has passenger pegs, seat, and I have both short and tall sissybars.
I'm in MD not far from DC.

Being that they have S&S motors and many parts that are common to Harley, they are easy to maintain.
