Ok 2.) dealer
if you are shopping at a dealer is that because you need financing?
debt to buy a toy isn;t a great decision.
add on the other costs such as insurance and the common 1 or 2 grand of stuff you "just have to have" (and that is why the classifieds are always full of the "Live to ride" geegaw collection)
Just a quick question of financial picture.
pass go, collect $200..
in this case look at private party sales- you can do better value.
don;t get stuck on the 103 if there is a price differential, the 96" is dandy.

Maybe you can save on the tune if you go with Fuelmoto or S&S.
That being said I think 10K is acceptable if the tires, brakes and all scheduled maintenance has been done.
I'd buy from the dealer if that is where all the schedule maintenance occurred. I know way to many people who have no idea how to care for their motorcycle including my friends and simply ride it until they get around to proper maintenance.
Question. Have you owned a motorcycle before and how many miles per year will you be riding?

That's pretty high mileage. Have the timing chain tensioners been replaced? Cam bearings? Maybe negotiate getting the cam chest gone thru with new cam bearings and chain tensioners.

This is a 103" tensioner at 25K......bike was meticulously maintained by an employee of J&P.

Never buy used from a dealer. Asking way too much for the mileage. And that "highway miles" crapola is the biggest lie since "It's just a fever blister".
How the hell did they GET the bike to the highway?
" Have the timing chain tensioners been replaced?"
Not an issue on a '010.

Okay is this an actual HD 103 motor or a built 96 CI?
The reason I ask is I had a 2010 Ultra and it came with a 96 CI motor stock. Did they change mid year or late in the model year?
If not someone has already built the motor?

I'd sell you my 2010 Ultra Limited with 103 and stage one with a FuelMoto Dynojet tuner, Ram mounts, new tires and wheel bearings, 40k miles and delivered (ridden) to your door for $14k.
I love this bike and would only get about 10-11k trading it in (or so I hope) to get a 2017. Plus it would give me an excuse to ride to California again.

Check the service records and see what's been done to it. I have a 2010 ultra and I'm haveing transmission bearings replaced for the second time. I'm not sure if the limited with the 103 has the upgraded compensator or not but look into it. If everything has been upgraded then and you like the bike make them a offer under 8000 if they don't take it look for anouther. Just my opinion.
