Default Criagslist - 1980 FLHS

I enjoy looking at bikes on Craigslist, every now and then something interesting pops up.

Saw this 1980 FLHS there for $6K. I'm not in the market for one, but I learn a lot about bikes from folks here, just curious to hear what folks think of this one.

Happy Father's day, yall...

I'm not in the market either, but it is interesting.
If it is as good as he says, it should sell soon.

Like you, the older scooters interest me. I will definetly have one some day. Hopefully knuckle, pan era. I do love the sound of the shovels. The bike looks good. Price seems to be a fair price from what I can see from pictures. If it's not to far from ya sounds like it may be a good fathers day trip/ purchase.
