In the end if you feel good about it, then go for it.
A HS is a first-class ride. Mine never fails to get a crowd or a good conversation.
Be prepared to deal with interested folks with cameras.
Ride safe.

As mentioned, those extras are pricey and not available anymore. At 50 K you are looking at some maintenance issues, don't forget to look at how old the tires are, not just the tread depth...Also, springer front ends need servicing every 20K or so, it would be nice if you could find out if that was ever done. Since it's in a shop you could also ask what the compression is, that's an easy test for them...
My springer rides like a Lincoln, the power is adequate at stage one level, it's no bar hopper but everyones definition of that is different. Mine was right around your asking price last year with only 4500 miles on it, but they do hold their value so if you can get it for 8500 to 9 then it's probably considered a good deal..
