I am still trying to work out the deal with the seller. Bike also has a small dent in the front wheel. He hit a pothole last week and just noticed it. It doesn't effect the integrity of the wheel or even the balance but it will need to be addressed.
I am really close and hopefully I will get this worked out and be picking up the bike on Sunday morning. I am surprised as to how much chrome the bike has and its all stock. It even has the stock Harley pipes on it. They are turn outs and they are loud and proud so obviously the baffles were removed or drilled out.
Wideglides are awesome looking bikes. It looks like a factory custom.

I agree, I love Wide Glides. Seller claims it "needs absolutely nothing", yet it's got a dented tank and leaky fork seals (as well as a dinged front wheel). Also, not sure why it needed a new belt @ 20k miles. I thought those things were good for at least 50k (haven't looked at the service interval). My buddy has a '93 FXSTC w/ 49k on it, and it's got the original belt. His '03 Road King has 55k on it, and also has the original belt.
Personally, I don't know if I'd buy something for that much money and immediately have to turn around and put several hundred into it. My buddy bought his '05 FXDWGi off a guy on this board last year for <$7k, w/ <9k miles. Lots of chrome and a custom paint job. I'd look around a bit more, the market is pretty soft right now.
