Ill talk to him again and get some pictures i kno it comes with extra rubber so thats a plus. Its too late i got on a Harley last riding season it also has the extended fel tank 7-8 gallons i think. Its a belt drive 4 spd im pretty sure its an fxsb? That sound familiar i also kno the bike was bought from a sheriffs auction for the asking price. The seller is also gonna put a lien on it and let me make payments to him directly. Plus i like the older more mechanical less electronic machines i feel they are more reliable.....plus they are cheaper and easier to diagnose and repair when problems occur!! Any of you guys that do anything mechanical knows its not if but when things break!! Anyhow i really appreciate all the great advice thank yall so much!!!

good deal. Get a FACTORY manual for the bike, per the model year. it's 60 bucks well spent.

Take your time, and ask questions when needed on here and at Harley tech talk . com.

If you don't then you get to learn by breaking **** and replacing it (I learned ALOT this way).
