Yeah...that’s a good deal. Especially with the dealer installed motor upgrade. Go for it.

looks like a good deal to me. Hard to argue price with a family member especially since, as the above posters have shown, its in the lower side of the range, yet it looks like a bike capable of getting the upper part of the range in price due to condition. Enjoy the bike.

If I were in your shoes, I'd buy it without a moment's hesitation.....!!!

The pic looks great, the info you supplied suggests it's a good deal for you, and you'll love having a Heritage....

FWIW.... When I bought my '12 limited, I thought I was going to sell my '03 Heritage..... Took the Heritage for one last ride before posting it for sale. I couldn't bring myself to sell it!! It is a totally different feel and ride from your bagger...

So I kept my Heritage too.... I find that I still ride both bikes often. The Heritage more than the bagger around town, and the Bagger always on the long trips.... Glad I kept them both...!

Good luck...and enjoy!

I eventually added a thrid bike, but that's just because I have the sickness......

He said "more" nimble...LOL! To be honest softails have a low CG and aren't that bad on the nimble scale...if we are using the Harley "nimble" scale of course.

Ha! Poor choice of words I guess..... but you guys know what I meant

We're still trying to figure it out. I'm in Vegas, and the bike is in Eastern Washington State.

I say go for it! There's a definate value in knowing what the bike has gone through and how it was ridden. I just went through a similar deal on a heritage and I'd do it all over again. I know you're not going to get something like that for 8k from a dealer where I'm from. And you'll love that 6 speed tranny.

I've tried to help him sell the bike since I originally made this post so he could get try and more money out of it, but it hasn't happened. So today we talked, and he dropped the price to $5k to get me to buy it. Done deal. I'll have it back in Vegas in a couple of weeks. I kinda wish I didn't have plans to go to the drag boat races in Parker next weekend, or I'd leave tomorrow!
