I bought my '03 FLHTCUI, in '11, with 2,090 miles on it. It was mint. At 30k it had a seeping base basket, so I had it repaired along with SE Tensioner Upgrade, new engine mount, rebuilt front calipers. Other than basically maintenance, it was great having a low mileage bike. Still looks great, with 34k on it.

You'd have to think there is a story behind how the bike can have so few miles.

"hasn't seen the road in a while"


There is a Story, its called"Mid-Life Crises Posing"


LOL

I bought it from a dealer, so it had fresh fluids already. Only problem I've had so far is the O rings in the quick connector under my gas tank gave out in Nebraska on the way to Sturgis. Came out of the hotel to find gas all over the place. Of course it was on a Sunday and it was a tiny town. Found a NAPA that was closed, but they had an after hours # and sent someone up to sell us a pack of O rings and get us on our way.
