Question advise sought.

hi all, i've spotted in my local dealership a 98 fatboy with a few mods done by a local custom shop, fat back end, beach bars, which would need to go, single seat, side mount plate ect ect. my question to all you knowledgable folks out there is would this be a sensible buy as a 2nd bike for somebody who has very limited mechanicle knowledge?. i will hold my head up and say that i'm prepared to use my skills to earn money to pay others to do the work on my bikes. i dont have a garage/shop and my bikes live out under covers. some advise please before getting shot down in flames oh and bike is advertised with less than 6000miles.

If the price is right and you have the disposable income, buy it if you like it. You only have to make yourself happy, unless of course you are married .
