Default Advice on a 2014 Low Rider

I'm looking at picking up a LR due to Harley killing off the Dyna line. I've always wanted one as a 2nd bike but I've never pulled the trigger. Here's the bike I'm looking at.

https://orlando.craigslist.org/mcd/d...312215794.html

What would you realistically offer for a very low milage (800 miles) 2014 that has a stage 1 kit and aftermarket exhaust already installed?

Anything I should look for like past recalls and problem areas?

Thank you for your input.

Missing the seat pad.
Also, it has "forwards."
Offer 9K, see where they go.

$10,200 retail is pretty good for one of these. Better put eyes on it

I think 9k would be a good price for you, but I don't think a seller will entertain it. They'll more than likely mention the low miles, and upgrades like forwards, crash bar, exhaust/intake, sissy bar and luggage rack thinking it adds value, but in reality it doesn't because everyone's different and prefers different accessories. For instance, I don't like short shots, so to me the exhaust wouldn't add any value.

Thanks for the replies. I noticed the forward controls, being 5'10" I'm wondering if my legs are long enough to ride comfortably. I've never owned a bike with them.
I thought the price was fair but was going to offer $9500 out the door. The worst that can happen is they say no. It will need a 1K service that I would do myself since the warranty is long gone.

I'm going to take it for a test ride on Saturday.

dont worry about the forward controls, I'm 5-11 and I upgraded to forwards on both bikes cause the Fxdb mids, and the fxdls further-forward mids were just way too uncomfortable. Anything over an hour ride and my knees would hurt once I got off. Just too crunched up. Only bad part about forward controls is I have to tuck my pants into my boots if I'm gonna ride faster than 80 cause my pant legs blow up. But I wear slightly larger pants so I can concealed carry iwb.

Just my perspective so by all means do what you want, but it might be better to offer lower than 9500 so if they say no you can say you'll pay 9500 but that's your final offer. Who knows, you may get it even cheaper. What is the asking price?

I was able to pick up a 2015 for 9K. It had 53 miles on it. I really like it.

We're the same height. I've got an '09 Lowrider with forward controls and they're very comfortable. Offer 'em the $9500. Even the price they advertised wasn't terrible for a bike that close to new.

Even with the low miles, it's still a four year old bike. Starting at $9K leaves more room to negotiate. A buyer can always raise his offer, it's a little tougher to back it down.......
