Just bought a 1997 Soft Tail Custom. What should I be looking for. It was very clean Never dropped or wrecked and has 6,203 original miles. Seven Thousand even. Had to get it. All I have seen is minor surface rust and a couple of paint chips. Has lots of goddies as well. Engine guard and pegs, custom gas caps and mirrors, luggage rack, screaming eagle mufflers, Custom Corbin seat, windshield. Sounds great. Needs battery. What are some checks you can reccomend etc. Has taken good care of it, Thanks.
