Default Good buy? Heading to the bank now!

https://grandrapids.craigslist.org/mcy/d/custom-street-glide/6293593094.html

So I'm literally heading to the bank now. Spoke with the guy couple times and seems to be everything he says it is in the ad. All shop built and maintained with three seats and some stock parts. With the assumption that there won't be any surprises and it checks out I plan to buy it. Just looking for some more thoughts opinions and reassurance that this build hopefully won't be junk. I've read that Fuel Moto has great quality and service. I mean who around this site has 4 inch drop bags that have never touched the concrete? I destroyed my last set in a year, must be a win! Right?

Very sharp bike, but the price isn't that great. Now if those are mods you'd want done to the bike, then sure. That being said.......the price isn't bad either.
