Default Look at this Craigslist ad---give input

I was thinking of responding to this ad, but it list ALOT of mechanical parts/upgrades that I just dont know about. Can a trained eye look at these things and relay it to me in some elementary terms? Mostly, I'm just not sure of what effect all these things may make? Does it seem to anyone that all the Harley elements have basically been replaced? Too customized with non Harley stuff?? Thank you

All that tells me the seller has no idea what he has. Somebody else did the work, and he didn't understand any more than you do. Heads reworked. 1200 miles since the big bore kit was installed, but he's not sure what size pistons/cylinders. Custom front end, and oversize wheels. Extra chrome. Somebody dipped the cables in breading, I guess he's gonna fry em up later? (I'm pretty sure he meant braided cables.) Controls on handlebar have been replaced with chrome. LED lights. License plate moved to side mount on swing arm.

I'd be very careful with breaded cables. before you know it, birds will be swooping down on you as you ride, just to nibble on you cables!!



bike sounds cool, verify, and see if its something you like,

How much? If the price is ridiculous it's an easy decision.
