Local dealer has just taken in an "01 FLSTC. Clean and obviously well maintained. I was there when it in came in, before dealer has had a chance to prep. Really looks nice.
60,000 miles. What do all think?
I hear lots of numbers thrown around for the life of these motors.

John,

You left out the most important number...What's the cost?
I'd buy a 60K bike for the right price and pass if the cost is too high.

For an '01 that is not a lot of miles just a little over 6k per year. Like what was said above... what is the price? You can go to kellybluebook.com put in the info and see what it is worth.

I came up with $7890 trade-in and $10750 retail. I think the retail price is some what high... but I guess it depends on how bad you want the bike.

Looking to get it for less than 8K.
I had the same number in mind you came up with for the trade value.

 

60K on an "01" does not seem bad at all... Heck, I have 40K on my 08

 

Carb or EFI?

 

Carb.

 

Carb is better on a 2001. Check for a leak between the primary and transmission by reaching behind the underside of the primary where the main shaft and stuff come through. It can be a costly fix. Just ahd to deal with this on my 2002 with 52K.

Check the swing arm. They have been known to crack around 60K.

 

If the price is Right Get it. I just baught a 2000 FatBoy with 108,500 miles on it. of course it only cost me 4,500 so I couldn't pass it up.
