May I please ask if someone would be kind enough to help me by critiquing this ad to sell my Fat Boy?

Is it purely price driven? Thanks in advance.

Price is everything along with being well maintained.
You say Louis built your bike who is Louis?
You have a good looking bike in a great color. GLWS

Mr. S, thanks for the kind words in your reply!

Louis is the original owner of my Fat Boy. I included his name in the Chicago Craigslist ad in case someone recognized the bike, the dealer I bought it from gave me his first name.
I've had success shipping a bike with Haul Bikes, currently this Fat Boy is in storage at Illinois Harley Davidson, zip code 60525. I'm willing to work with a buyer, and ship this bike to the lower 48 states via Haul Bikes.

Hey warm winter weather bike drivers, this Fat Boy is up to date on everything mechanical, and consumable. Please email me at chicagobikedriver@gmail.com, let's talk terms. Thanks.

Thanks for the kind words gents. This Softail reintroduced me to the joys of wind therapy, now have to roll out of her to support the FLHT build. Fun times ahead!

I just think it’s a hard time of year to be selling. Great looking bike.

That's a much better price. It's been my experience that you get 10 cents on the dollar for motorcycle mods when you sell, less than that when you trade it in.

Doesn't help that you're trying to sell a motorcycle in Chicago in February though.
