How many miles? If over ~20k, I'd have the cam chain tensioners checked just to be safe or you could have a LARGE expense. The price is low, their usually is a good reason.

Get service work history if possible. And have some one ride it that know hd's.

Could be a very good deal. Not spam since he has his number posted.

on anything pre 2002 make sure it is a carb as the MM EFI has been known to be problematic. 2002 is the last year of the timken crank bearings which are good. Teh second oneis a great price too. 20K is not bad but get the tensioners checked or check them yourself.
