2009 and newer FL's have several major upgrades to exhaust, frame, tire size, fuel tank etc. 2009 or newer may be better to wait for. The $10800 price isnt bad, but you are buying a "bare bones" bike that will need several upgrades.

Thanks for the replies guys. Checkers I'm a driver too , 8 axle jumbo tankers here in Michigan.
I'll take everything you've said in to consideration , the seller is very motivated . Cash is king and I may try to see how low he is willing to go.

17 Yrs OTR, dry van. 2+ million miles. Followed you fellas thru MI many times. I'm originally from the Badger State, moved to the Volunteer State about 20 yrs ago. Good to hear from a another pro. Bike your looking at is a decent buy. Good luck with the deal and ride safe.

Any used purchase is a risk, but if you are going to be able to absorb any unforeseen expenses, this could be a good deal.
Before you purchase however, check nationwide Cycle trader. There are some really good deals out there, and especially if you call and make offers.
I got a 2013 Limited with 2,116 miles on it for 18,500 OTD.
