Special Construction Road Glide
I was looking to but a 2005 Road Glide and noticed that its registered as a special construction. It has an 88" S&S motor in it. Anyone heard of this? Is it the same or better reliabilty wise as a factory bike?

in North Carolina... "special construction" means it's a custom......not made by HD.... depending on the price.... could be ok.... but there's no telling the quality of the work, unless you know the builder....

RE: Special Construction Road Glide
Here's a picture of it. It has a clear title. Can you wreck a bike and register it as a special construction with a clear title? I thought that once the vin is assigned thats it. Its an '05 with 12k miles and its going for $13,000. Seems like a good deal to me

There is a local guy around here that bought a Fatboy a couple years ago and didn't notice until he tried to trade it on a new bike that it was "special construction". No dealer would touch it and he hasn't been able to sell it. He is almost trying to give it away with no luck.

Check with your insurance agent. Mine told me back when I was going to build my first HD that a SC title is very hard to insure, that was 10 years ago. I cant imagine things getting any more loose these days, in fact it may be even more difficult. Id shy away.
I had a guy slip one by me once on a old car trade, back when the new Calif titles came out. I didnt notice that up in the corner of the title was a little box with the word "salvage" in it. Everything looked identical as a new title.
