Default Should I get a '98 Heritage Springer ?

Hello all, I got into a bad accident last summer which totaler out&nbsp\\;my '98 Heritage and I am ready to get back on a bike. I Really love the looks of the Heritage Springer and found&nbsp\\;a nice one for sale locally. Looking for opinions:
Good
1) ONLY 4200 miles
2) Flawless paint etc.
3) Color I want
Bad
1) BONE STOCK&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
concerns are as follows:
1) How hard is it to find add ons given that there are not many of these rolling around ?
2) Is $11.5k a fair price for a BONE STOCK '98 Heritage Springer with 4200 mile (just like from factory it has bags etc no windshield no upgrades) ?
&nbsp\\;

Bone, I had a '98 Heritage Springer which I sold in 2006 for $11,500.00.&nbsp\\; It had the removable windshield, lowering kit and I had Samson straight shots on it as well.&nbsp\\; I really loved the bike, but family finances were not too goos at the time so I sold it.&nbsp\\; Look up the blue book value on the bike and take it from there.&nbsp\\; As far as add ons, you won't have any trouble finding after market parts for that bike.&nbsp\\; $11.5 sounds like a fair price with that mileage on it, but in this economy, I'm sure you could negotiate it down a bit.&nbsp\\; Hope you get the bike, I loved mine.&nbsp\\; As a matter of fact, I loved the springer front end so much that I bought an '08 X-Bones a few weeks ago.&nbsp\\; &nbsp\\;
