Should I get this ST?
I have a 06 Wide Glide with low miles but I really like the soft tails. There is a guy willing to trade me a 97 ST with 3900 miles but it has a Daytec frame that's raked 38* at the neck. It also has custom wheels and tons of custom parts. He is asking 10K for the bike. Would this be to my best interest? Please let me know soon.

No, not for me anyway. Not into someone else's frankenstein. Especially for a dyna that is 9 years newer. Plenty of used softies out there for $10k or close to it. Sometimes custom just means, no one else is gonna want it.

Could be hard to find parts for a custom and also if U ever want to add something U may not find anything to fit..
It could be hard to sell later if U decide to also.
I've seen guys put $15-$20k in bikes extra and take a beating when selling them. If U want the custom look its a Lot better to just buy a CVO, at least they will hold their value better.
It may be eye candy but if its U only ride just think it through.

His bike has a "slightly modified 1340 Evo" what ever that means. He wanted to see my bike right away but I told him I was going to hold on to my WG.
I had a strange feeling about a custom bike when I bought my WG. A guy a work was trying to sell me a custom ST for $7K with a RevTec engine. I heard they were made in Korea?
I guess I just lower my WG and add wheels when I can afford it. My bike is perfect and my only ride at the time.
