Default got a steal!

so i have been shopping the local dealers and found the bike for me! it is an 07 fxstc jake blue/elwood blue custom paint.

I got the dealer down to 15360. what do you all think?

have you seen the color in person? how much do you like it? He had to do a dealer trade so i have not seen it in person yet but i am pumped!

**new**
they are quoting me a black pearl NT for 14,100 + TTL. I wanted the black-out look on the engine, so it turned out to be cheaper that way.

Go for it if that's what you want. I seriously doubt your going to find another for that price anywhere, anytime soon.
I haven't ever heard of theJake & Elwood blue paint, but I have to admit itsounds interesting.
Make sure you don't forget us and post some good pics, this I gotta see one.

well now my employee is backing out so I may be up to 16,600 for it, but that is still a smoking deal.

Technically, I'd call $16,600 a decent buy ... I'd call $13,200 a smoking deal. A bump of 25% takes it out of 'smokin' range - But if you like it, who's counting?!

I almost bought a Jake and Elwood Fat boy, great color.
Damn wife didn't like it, she's not into Blue and Blue-Purple tint.
