Look for a poser bike........lots of mods & chrome......low mileage. There are a lot of them out there. I know a guy who has a 95 (I think)softail with 6200 miles on it. I will wait until he's tired of moving it around in his garage and get it. Look in the wealthy neighborhoods, talk to dealers, talk to service managers, watch the papers. There are thousands of them out there just waiting to be had. My $.02.
What he said times two!! Got my o2 Road King Classic last spring . 9000 miles, 7500 in add ons. I mean everything! The bike was cleaner when I bought it than most new ones. PERFECT!! Cost? $15,500. Yeah, I stole it.

06dynablack: Think a 2003 with 14,000 miles is high? I kinda do. Looked at it the other day and noticed a little rust on the back side of the windshield frame, around the edge of a bolt that is on top of the engine head (guess that's what it's called) and where the detachable saddlebag frame connects to the bike (right behind passenger footpeg) and around the spokes on the front rim.

I paid 13,500 for my '02 and it had 12,950 miles on it. My bike looked brand new, it was well taken care of.
