I have a 1996 Dyna Low rider.
Want to sell and buy one of the following.
1985 FXWG- Evo engine 4 speed with Kicker. Has 25000 Miles. Original and in good shape. Always wanted a kicker bike. OR
1983 FLH police special- Shovel engine. Has about 19000 miles Original and in good shape, Solo seat. Belt drive.
Always liked the solo seat.
Please give me some guidance. Thanks

Hello Joe40X
Thanks for the advice. It would be a hard decision. One bike is located in Edmonton, Alberta. the other one is in Fort McMurray Alberta. Too far for you I bet.
