Default Is this a decent deal?

Any concerns with this year?

Did I post this in the right section?

Didnt see if it is fuel injected or carbureted. The MM fuel injection can be a pain to work on...thats what ive read ,no first hand experience with it. Otherwise it looks like a nice bike.

Thanks fellas. Yes,it’s FI. I’ve heard there can be some issues with this year of bike. Maybe it’s the fuel injection they were speaking of.

MM FI was never installed on anything but the "Touring" Bikes (and up to 2001 Touring) ... Delphi on all others and 2001 was first year FI on Softail

Dangit! I knew I was in the wrong section.........I'll try to get a mod to move it.

Thanks for clarifying the FI question. The Delphi system is OK then?

If I was looking, that price would get my attention. Nice options; bags, windshield, rider and passenger back rests, etc. New tires will save you $400-$500. Not my style, but the price seems spot on for what it is. Buy it...
