Default Check it out...one month later, and my Ebay Glide is here!

Took my chances (again) on a Ebay bike, and just received her about one hour ago. I'm more than pleased! 2000 WG with 4,800 miles, and everything about her screamed "I'm right off the showroom floor!" Starts, runs, sounds, looks, rides and feels perfect. My first Dyna. Can't find a flaw. The seller would start it, and even changed the oil and tires while it aged instead of letting her sit idle through the years. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

My new Bumble-Bee:

Nice score I love the Wide Glide, and she looks to be in beautiful shape; certainly love the color, too!

Well done!

Great looking bike!
If you're comfortable with the price you paid, that's all that really matters.
Looks brand new for a 17 year old bike.
Enjoy and ride safe!

Thanks! $6,300 + shipping, so $7K...not the best deal, but I'm good with it.

I'd have paid that without too much concern as well, she's beautiful and worth it

Be sure to stop by the Dyna forum and post up the images in the 'What Did You Do to Your Dyna Today?' thread.

What did you do to your dyna today? You got your Dyna! She's a good looking machine, I'd rock that bike with pride

Nice bike. Really like the color. Did the seller say why such a sweet bike only had 4800 miles in 17 years?

Not the worst deal either.
$7k for a barely broken in, showroom condition WG isn't bad.
Like I said, if you're happy with the deal, that's all that matters.

You mentioned new tires, but do you know how long ago?
If they're more than 5-6 years old, I would replace them even if the tread is new.
Aging tires harden, get sidewall cracks and dry rot which is not safe.
Good luck!
