Softail Springer Classic
I'm looking to pickup a second bike and have the chance to buy a low mileage 2006 Springer Classic at a pretty good price. I love the look of the bike and all indications are it is in real good shape. I'm planning to test ride it this weekend but was wondering if there were issues or concerns with this specific model I need to be aware of? The bike is pretty much stock. I appreciate any advice anyone is willing to give me.

I have an 06 Springer Classic and love it. It is the sharpest Springer HD has put out. I am waiting for an 09 Cross Bones to come in, only because I want to get rid of the Road King I have. If I found a really clean Springer Classic, I would trade straight up for my new Cross Bones.
BTW I do love FX Springers, but I am talking FL Springers now.

I've got an 05 and wouldn't give it up for nothin!!! My only complaint has been the fact that the seat is so low. I'm 6'4" and it puts my knees up to high. I bought a Crossbones seat on ebay and am going to put it on when I get home in Next month. I'm hoping it will raise me up enough to stop my knees from aching on longer rides (gettin old ya know).
