IMO go for the'06, particualrly if you're going to be doing a lot of miles, and intend to keep it for a few years. Why? Because the six speed box, EFI, and revised suspension set-up completely transformed the Low Rider. However, if you want to own an obsolete bike - go for the 2003.

The stock carb on 2003's is a 40mm constant velocity with enrichner, (choke). This is simplicity in itself, plus a collectible. All the bikes being trailered into dealerships I have seen, three in just one day recently, have all been due to fuel injection problems. There are a lot of components in a fuel injection sytem!!
There are numerous complaints about the six speed boxes, just hit the search tab to find out.
So, a reliable, "obsolete" bike, or a dubious internal bearinged and transmissioned 2006. Hmmm?[sm=confused06.gif][sm=confused06.gif][sm=confused06.gif]

IMHO, I would go with the oooo6. I am very happy with mine, have had no problem with F/I or anything else, except the horn went out. I have ridden to Orange County from Seattle and it was a pleasure. One thing to think about is the 06 is a one year model. So maybe down the road the value will be greater, that is if you ever sell it. I probably will not. My plan is to give it to the wife and by a new bike for me. With the PC, pipes and the A/C upgrade it runs great.
Either one will be fun and enjoyable.
