Nice find and most wish they could do so good. I caution you though to have it checked thoroughly. Too few miles on that old of a bike. The rubber for starters. Best of luck!!!

don't wanna be a Negative Nellie, but, have the shop check your timing chain shoes. The early Twin Cams were notorious about the failing with even as little as 4-5K on them.

That is a very good deal. How could someone have bought that bike new in 2000 or 2001 and only put that few miles on it? I would have been riding the hell out of it.

I rode it about 30 miles tonight. I'm coming off of a Vulcan 500 so it feels substantial and at 70-75mph it's just such a nice ride. I admit that I'm enjoying the rumbles. It's got 2 into 1 exhaust and it sounds fantastic. Tires are new and DH is a mechanic.
