Over all this is the bike I narrowed it down to. Its in my price range, has the mileage I was looking for. Sure I would like a 6spd, and light blue paint, but these are minor trade offs. Im going for it.
don't worry about missing the 6spd. I liked the 88 w/5spd much better than a stock 96 w/6spd. 103 w/6spd a different story. 4400 miles is great and it barely needs an oil chg. Enjoy, and don't look back. It sounds like a great bike.

Sounds great man and it looks great! I bet you will really enjoy it!

I'd like to know what you think of the ride compared to your Sportster!

No regrets,, Ain't looked back once,, its IMO the best ridding Softail and better than the Road Kings and Street Glides I've ridden...
I personally wouldn't trade it for either one of the above...

loved it for 4yrs and still do...

Bike looks good and sounds like it has some nice extras too. Even the bags look to be in really good shape. Good find, hope you ride it home soon.

Its a done deal, my new to me softail is at home in the garage. The bike runs and rides great, now I just need to take my time to get use to riding a different bike. More pictures to come.
