Default Trying to Move On... 2006?

So in my attempt to move on from my stolen Train which I know is gone forever, I stumbled upon this bike on CL. Now, I know it's not a Train but damn if it doesn't have almost everything I want on a Softail... Heartland kit over a 200mm wheel, black paint, etc. It has only 7900mi on it, which despite its age, is a HUGE selling point.
At the price he wants, I could powdercoat, re-wheel, shotgun shock and alarm this thing to my hearts' content.

I think it's a good idea- guys?

Price seems pretty high for a 6-year-old bike, but if it's what you want and insurance is paying for it, go for it!

That's a sweet ride that you can reapply your personality. I think you will be happy with the 200mm look but be ure to test ride it and try not to compar it to your NT. Bon chance!

Looks sharp. Personally like the chrome wheel and other stuff. Seems like a nice mix. But it won't be my bike, will it? Good luck!

Its a standard isnt it? In my eyes its just the chrome version of the train.. Looks like a good bike to start pimpin out!!!! I think its a fair price considering seeing a heartland kit, exhaust, intake and low miles! sounds like a good buy to me.

My brother-in-law just bought an 06 Deluxe with 8k miles for $12,500. He got what he wanted and couldn't be happier. Not a bad price IMO and it looks sweet.

Seems like your trying replace your old lab with a new puppy. It just won't be the same. I'd wait to see what you get from insurance first and go from there. I also vote for the SG for you.
