Look at the front spoked wheel. If its smooth right to the tire without any indentations, it's got smooth laced wheels. If there is a lip then its the standard wheels. If you look at the photobucket pictures on the link posted by my sig, both my bikes have what's called smooth wheels and you should be able to find a pic where you can see them closer. The Deluxe are smooth laced...meaning its a laced wheel with spokes and no indentation...make sense? Hope this helps.

or you may prefer to buy my '05 1200C for just another $500 knowing it has been riden every month of every one of it's 4+ years - only 25,000 miles

He's right...this is a custom Sportster color, which added close to another $700 or so to the bike. Most of them in this color also had the smooth laced wheels, which was a $400 option. Back in '05 when I got my Sportster, I looked at this color closely and wanted to buy one from a dealer who had it in stock. Only thing was the premium they were charging just for that paint was crazy. Put the bike well over $12k. It is a very nice color in person...You need to jump on this deal....You wont be sorry and you will have a rare factory custom paint job.

Not exactly sure I can afford it right now or not. I have a budget of 5000 and this bike is for sale for 5750 and needs a inspection, service from being not riden in a while, and a battery putting me over 6k which is well out of my range right now, what do I do?
