66K miles, $8.3K what worries/concerns should I have buying this bike? I am not a great mech, do not want to buy it and then spend all my time and $$ trying to keep it running, 1st time poster here - be gentle :-)

Thanks

 

Does it have any kind of maintenance records that go with it? That will tell you how it was maintained, and anything that may have been replaced.

 

If you can swing couple more grand, you can find a low mileage used Harley touring bike that 3 or 4 years newer. 2009 and up is where I would look.

 

The main issues with the CVO 110" engines were the over-the-top valve springs, supplied to HD, via Comp Cams, that loaded the lifter axles to the point of failure.
Once those issues are addressed, very reliable engine.

Everything Scott speaks of will help with the CVOs 110" motor.

However, the 2006 CVO model year had a pretty solid motor platform in the CVO 103" motor.

Maintance paperwork is your friend.

Thanks for the fast replies! I am checking now on maintenance records (knew that, just got blinded by the bike).

 

...... i'd check the motor over real well, those 'electric conversions' can be troublesome if not done well.

 

Thanks - how would I know if that was done?
