I guess it has Vince and Hines intake and exhaust on it..I just found out. Runs good and clean.
I guess I'm just worried about the rear tire, mileage on it, and the fact its a carb. Which means I should be automatically jetting it no matter what..since its lean from factory.

My '06 is carbed, I have to choke it to start it up first thing in the morning, or anytime it sits for a couple hours, but it's not a huge deal. I can fire it up and be off just as quickly as someone on an EFI bike.

True, thanks edgeofinsanity
Ok so here are the 2 bikes I'm deciding between
2007 Harley 883L Sportster
9K miles, EFI, Screaming Eagle Intake & Exhaust (thrown into the deal are a brand new two seater to swap out, chrome footpegs for the second seater, and a windsheild) SHES LOUD, cuz I've already seen and heard her. I love the sound on her!! $5,200
2006 Harley Sportster 883R
23K miles, Mikuni carb, Vince & Hines intake and exhaust, 3' adjustable lowering springs. (small rear tire not sure why, but it has affected the mileage/odometer) Not sure how she sounds..... havn't seen her. Seller claims shes somewhat loud. $4,700

Just think about something :
- on the EFI to adjust the idle you'll need : a computer , a software , a specific cable , an adjustable EFI module ....
- on the carb you'll need .... a screwdriver !

+1....dude, that 883L is SUPER SWEET, and with the low miles its almost cherry. Tell him your leaning towards the 06, and see if he'll come down and match the price. All he can say is no......

He won't come down. His listed price is $5,800, and I talked him down to $5,200. So that's where it'll stay
