Looks to be a fair deal on a nice bike. Front signals can be had for less the $100.

I'm not sure the year they changed the fuel injection system fromt he older MM to dephi. But the older EFI system is tempermental. If it is a carbed bike, then no worries.
By the way, never buy anything when you are in heat for it.

I don't know anything about it but saw it yesterday on craigslist.

Front and rear signals will be required in every state for that year bike. States write their equipment laws around the federal requirements.
Love them Fatboys, but I'm partial to them

The owner doesn't know what he is talking about.

Its not a huge deal, they can be replaced like someone said for about $100 but the fact that he doesn't even know that is a bit weird.

Did he say whether it had been tuned or had a tuner on it? Does it have a stock AC on it?
