My motor guy suggested cam shoes etc. but after looking at them called and told me the ones in there were in good shape, no need to replace and to check them again at the next 10,000 mile check up. Bike has 10,100 miles on it. Welcome to the Madness

That's a sweet lookin '06 in your avatar pudge.

Ya, we worked out a deal and I go get her tomorrow morning, and I'll take care of whatever she needs.
I hope her insides are as nice as yours!

Looks nice, though the front wheel wouldnt be my choice, theres certainly a lot of expensive extras on it and it looks in real good condition now ride and enjoy it.

he also gave me another seat, 2 windshields, a touring pack, and a quick release back rest. The original slip on pipes, and the original little parts he swapped out.
Oh, and the Factory manual and repair manual by HD, and a couple oil filters

.

I would have also loved blacked out spokes. But beggars can't be choosers. hehe.

He's a decent guy, and just wants his first HD to keep ridin'.
I rode it home today, here's a pic of my backyard RIGHT NOW!

(riding will have to wait!)
