Owner is firm on the price of $3995. Has 53K on the clock. Only mods are the mufflers. Ad doesn't say anything about cam bearing change. He also has a tour-pak for it. No oil leaks & everything works. It is out of state so there will be a shipping charge.
I like the FLHS models. Just a basic bagger with a couple of gauges and no frills. (The live to ride stuff has to go.).
Anything about the year model to be cautious about?
Worth the price?

$4000 for that much iron. Here in VA, you can run antique plates. Never need an inspection, no taxes, and never renew state or city tags. It's pretty. If it runs good it needs nothing for 150K. Leave it alone and drive it.
That gold option is hot on an antique.
If you are trying to roll it, now that is something different.
And I would have to check it out and if shipping, I would need to be there to get it on my trailer. I bought a good deal and it turned out to be stolen. My caution and checking saved me some big dollars. Even owner and bank didn't know. Plus now days, scams are big-time.

Upgrade lifters to? Tranny sprocket and hardware upgraded to?
The oem lifters of that era (up to late `90s) had a habit of needle bearing failures in the roller, new oem lifters are fine, S&S, Johnson Hylift are also good. Avoid no name lifters...
The transmission sprocket retaining nut on 5 speeds had problems loosening, there was an upgraded lock that came out in `92, but the real fix came out mid `94, it included the lock plate and screws that came out in `92, plus a new design sprocket, spacer, and oil seal.
I had to do all that Dan mentioned to my 86.She looks just like mine only cleaner.A plus is the newer ramp and ball for the cutch cover and a splined shaft.
