Last summer I had to part with my 2007 Road Glide for financial reasons. Now I am in the position to buy another bike. A friend of mine has a 2006 Road Glide with several accessories such as: vance and hines slip ons, Stage 1, grips, mirrors, saddlebag filler strips, passenger and driver backrest, and lowers. The bike has 12,000 miles and my friend is willing to sell the bike to me for $13,000.
Does that sound like a fair price to everyone?
Also, my prior RG was a 07, other than the 6 speed tranny and the smaller engine, is there anything good or bad that I should know about the 06 vs. the 07?

Give him 12,500 and take it. If he's your friend, you'll know what is or is not wrong with it before your buy right? That's a low mileage bike, do you know if he maintained it well? Sounds like a "buy" to me!
