I found one?????

Found an 05 Dyna Super Glide Custom. 5 month's old ....800 miles.

Is $12,500 a fair price????

RE: I found one?????

I just put a down payment on a brand new FXDI standard (not custom), due in Feb. $12,200.

Take a close look at what you get in the new '06's. I did, and decided that a used one would have to be really cheap. The '06's have enough technological improvements to make them a whole new bike. 6 speed, better chassis, wider rear tire, closed loop EFI, better cam plates, etc.

Now, keep in mind there's a lot of small differances between the Custom and the Standard. Functionally, they are the same bike. But the Custom comes with a 2 up seat, laced wheels, lots of chrome, and some additional paint color choices. All the addfitions are cosmetic. For all that, HD charges an additional $2K. So a new Custom with no add ons and single color paint would cost you about $14,200.

So, what do you think? Good deal or not?

The one I'm looking at has Vance & Hines pipes, sissy bar with pad, few other dewdads, HD tach (not installed), plus no shipping, dealer prep, paperwork fee and whatever else a dealer tries to stick me with.........

My gut feeling is it's a fair price.

A new one is 14,755 with the shipping. The 2005 is a good price, especially if you would have installed the extras anyway.

Regards,

That's all that matters. Jump on that deal quick before some one else does.

Thanks for the input.

I couldn't stand it....I had to grab it before somebody else did. It'll be a couple of weeks before I can pick it up.

It's my first Harley. I guess I'll be one of them "Biker Dudes" soon. [sm=biker2.gif]

Thanks
