have you seen bike pricing lately? 5k will get you an 89 standard with 150k around me.

FWIW JD Power says retail $6545-8610 but I think you should be at the low end of that or better when I compare to my recent purchase of a 2009 UC with 24000 miles and in clean condition.

I could be wrong, but didn't the trans issue start with the first six-speeds? I had an 06 and didn't have any issues with the trans. If that matters/helps. I did do a 34-tooth trans pulley, which helped that bike get along greatly on the highway.
Didn't bother me at all that it was a "measly" TC88. Put some Andrews 21 cams in it and a good tune and it had all the power I needed. Would consider the tensioners though. At 60-clicks of the clock, they're surely ready to change out, possibly for the second time. I went with a SE hydraulic cam plate and never looked back. My 05 Springer already had the plate and cams done, so that was a big bonus for me!
If you were going to hot rod it, the 06 was right at many of the improvements, as I understood it. Either way, it should make for a great rider!
As others have said, I believe $6,500-$7,000 would be fair and $5,000 would be a deal in your favor, for sure. IMHO.
Good luck!
