Default 2008 Softail Custom Anniversary

I just Purchased a 2008 Softail Custom 105th Anniversary with 23,000Kms

I live in Toronto Ontario Canada, so keep that in mind when I say I paid $15,500 plus Taxes and fees.

I never owned a HD before but I always like the look of a Softail. and I found this Softail at a local dealer and fell in love with it at first site.

I took it for a ride before buying, and it was better than I expected.

Picking it up tomorrow.

What say You.

CF

I looked around the province and did not find 2008 anniversary, only standard or custom, and they were asking around $18,000 with more mileage.
So I think I got a good deal.

And it realy does'nt matter because I am pleased with the bike in a big way.
That bike rocks.

Thanks

I think the Softail Custom is maybe the sharpest looking Harley made. I rode my old one all over the country. Congrats on a good buy. Enjoy.

I too believe that the FXSTC is what a motorcycle should look like. You did just fine. Nice bike.
