Default Opinions on this Electra Glide

To buy or not to buy? Like to hear your opinions...miles have me worried. Asking price is $7900. No wrecks and regularly serviced.




1994 Harley-Davidson Electra Glide for sale. Motorcycle runs good, recent service. New seat & carb. It has about 85,000 miles but still rides great.

If it's been well maintained there should be no issues with it. I'd suggest maybe having an indy mechanic check it out just to be sure.

Here is MY opinion.

I'd go over, IF POSSIBLE, and look at it. IF paint, bags, etc, are in GREAT shape, and the chassis is 'sound', talk him down to less than $7000 with hundred dollar bills.
Then ride it, and while dong that, I'd have one of the Ultima 120's or 127's with tranny on order.
Pull the EVO out, sell it as a 'complete package' to recoup a bit of the Ultima. For less than 15G, well, I think you get the jest.

IF on the other hand you are looking for an EVO bagger to "ride". MY OPINION??? There are a lot of lower 'rounds' baggers out there, for that same money or maybe a grand more. Some of them, "juiced" a bit, also. In other words, I'd walk.

Case in point:

http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/mcy/1284482432.html 8900
http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/mcy/1272022044.html 7500
http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/mcy/1309510117.html 8500
http://sd.craigslist.org/mcy/1276568881.html 6800
http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/mcy/1273155311.html 8500


And if you can "sneak" up on the 10G mark, read that, $$, the market just went off the scale. There are a CHIT pot full of some SOOOPER nice rides for that.

This is a 'dandy'. NOT only do you get the 'bagger', BUT the 'attire' (rain suit), the 'apparatus' (jack/lift), and LAST but not least, a "Chrome Radiator Cover"
