RE: What ya paying for the Bob?
Harley's mid controls are still a "bit forward" compared to japanese or european bikes. At 5' 6" my guess is the mid controls with highway pegs with do it for ya. If I purchase a new Bob that is the setup I will go with and i'm 5' 11 1/2", 56 years old. I have had bikes with both mid and forward and find i'm good to go either way. Actually I have forwards on my bike now and removed the heal shifter so I can hang feet off the back of the floorboards a good part of the time. If you live in an area with back roads with nice twisties mid controls are much better. One is better balanced with your feet being under you. I never saw a race bike with forward controls. 
As for the 15,000 mi bearing replacement, that does create a rather large hmmmmmm.............but I think i'm still buying one.

The dealerships are hurting now, at least in my area. So don't pay anything over MSRP. You could probably get a bike under MSRP. Come down to chicago and I'm sure I can get you a deal.

As usual everything in SC is @$$ backwards. No wonder the stealer in G'ville isn't selling anything. I don't think you can get one of those there for less than $16,990 incl. ttl. (after a $1000 winter disc.).
