What price range can you afford? Genuinely asking and trying to help. Not being a smart ***.

To be honest if I wanted it bad enough, I could afford it. I have my 1984 Shovel. It is more a case of "need" and "want". I may buy it. But, I won't be riding anything for a while. I certainly am not going to trade in my 1984 FXEF. It is really about adding some debt with so much uncertainty (health issues, age, etc.)

I would never be without a bike. Old Evos are nice and not expensive. Not too hard to swing without going into debt.
Best wishes, get better.

I haven't even gone up and taken another look. It is still in the back of my mind. I stake no claim to it. I have my 1984 FXEF that I have had for years. Who knows I may be able to ride it again before the winter gets serious here. I can't even work on the old girl. I have to limit straining for a month and limit the use of my right arm (left handed anyway) for another week or so. As much as I would probably like to have it, I couldn't ride it home or even push it around to park it right now.

1995 Dyna Convertible owner here. Sold an 09 Road King Classic and an 05 Super Glide and bought the Evo. I'm happy with my decision. I think I'll hold on to this one for a long, long time.
I may add a 91-03 Sporty as well if I can convince my Missus there's a good reason to own a 3rd bike (I also own a 2004 Honda Rebel I ride to work most days).
