It has the 95 big bore kit with stage one of coarse, their was over $40.000 spent on this bike by the original owner. The Martin Brothers pipes our straight shot gun and our way loud but the bike has lots of guts and is tuned in well. Has a 240mm Phatail kit and was airbrushed by Dusold designs (free hand) Metallic Green fleck on jet Black. Martin Bros. stretched tank and fenders. All extra chrome parts our OEM. Performance machine rims... lots of extras. looking forward to summer.

Cool looking bike.
That being said dont take his word on the tune. Those pipes are extremely blued up and could be a sign of running very lean. Just make sure.
Youll get driven nuts w/ questions about the blue pipes everybody is a mechanic dont forget. My advice go black. Either paint them or maybe check these out http://www.freedomperform.com/shop/?...product_id=208
Either way its a pretty tuff looking bike congratulations!

well ok then congrats on the bike , we were just trying to figure what the point of the post was because the question was kinda vague and if you have been here any length of time you can probably expect those type of questions to come up was not trying to step on your toes .

No worries, I thought it was a cool ride when I was looking at buying it. Just wanted to check with the community and get some opinions, everyone here seems to like it more than my buddies. Needed the positive input, I feel good about my purchase now, the bike is still listed on sellharleys.com (as SOLD) and you can see all the pictures and video of it. Its on page 3. I just finished installing signal lights on it to pass the federal inspection, and have to get a horozontal plate mount (cant use the verticle mount here) Installed a running/Brake/Turn Signal module as well so my signal lights are all of the above.
I think I am going to go with the Vance & Hines black ceramic coated pipes with the chrome tips.
Thanks to all who replyed

Nice bike Q, and good choice on the black pipes. Looks like Christmas came early.

Tough looking ride. I don't think the blued pipes are necessarily a sign of a too lean tune. Back in the day before the Jap bikes with thicker chrome plated pipes, all bikes had blue pipes once they were broke in. No one I knew ran heat shields to hide the blue or protect their sensitive skin. OK, we all have scars on the inside of our right calf.
