Default What to keep an eye on

I'm in Iraq and plan on getting a 2009 Super Glide. What should I keep an eye on for the first couple years and beyond?

If you haven't already done so, go get price quotes from the overseas vehicle sales booths at some of the bigger FOBs. If you are at a small $h!tty FOB and never make it to a big one, you can get quotes online. I ordered my bike through them while deployed and saved about 2 grand.

I also purchased my HD thru military sales and had similar savings plus discounted extended warranty. I have heard it said more than once that the military sales discounts are better than the MoCo employee discounts. Good luck with your purchase.
