Low Rider is at a dealer, they aren't coming down from $4099, so that is a pass. The Convertible has already been lowered to Low Rider Specs so it is already low, just sacrificing the 3 degrees on the frame.

Honestly if you don't need it right now I would keep looking for a clean low mileage lowrider. There out there just gotta be patient. I picked up a stock 98 lowrider a few years back with 18k miles for 4k.

..... and I have a '98 FLTR w/ 130K on it, bought a '98 FXSTS w/ 21K for $3800.
just sayin'
OP Keep looking. Your smart buy is still out there.

I wouldn't buy an EVO with 87K on the clock. Truth is you're more than likely looking at a complete rebuild within a year. Yes, some bikes have gone 100K and then some but those are rare. Most of these bikes develop a limb somehwre around the 60K + range. If you don't mind sinking money into then by all means grab it up.... If you're looking for something to ride trouble free I'd stay far away.
A friend of mine just found a Mid 90's Fatboy with 31K on the clock for $4,000
It's Covid-19 time, the buys are out there while people are laid off.. Keep searching even if it means you go out of state to pick it up.

Thank you for your response ! I don't need it now as I still have my Fat Boy, I just wanted an Evo to have (I settled on a Dyna) to ride solo and make my own bike to ride and work on. Your deal sounds amazing. I fear that those deals are fading away...
