3 grand. Great deal, guy must have sold it cheap thinking no one would want to pay big buxs because of the mileage that appeared to be on it.
Put a bit of money into it and make it your own.

My old pal was a dairy farmer in summers during college and he would tell sad stories of barn fires where horses ran back in after escaping. The cow, they'd just walk outta the barns then graze on the grass enjoying the flickering lights.
What the hell do I know!? I ride 20 year old iron...

It was a a Brother deal. Spent today cleaning and going over. Just took her out and hit 100mph no drama. She aint for show but she goes good. I dig the patina. A well worn dresser. For now she stays as is. I will put a few thousand miles on then she is mine own. This is not a pretty bike but she runs pretty good. I have 2 other bikes, this might be the one to keep. THX. EVO Forever.

OK, got the full lowdown. 1996 flht. Branch heads, S&S carb and cases, Jims gaskets, Kerker 2 into one, ev 13 cam and 1200 Sportster ignition. 100,000 miles plus on the bike. Lowered suspension F&R. The bike has been cross country,USA, a few times. Cleaned up pretty nice. I am digging it. Much smoother than my 06 Ultra. Tranny shifts like butter. Think I will go for 200k, Ha : )... EVO 4 EVER...
