$23,700 would be my guess. I don't know, but, um, he said it. Just read his long list of parts, near the bottom, is the bike.

Nice ride, and sounds like you got a good deal considering all that's been done to it. Ride safe up there.

Congrats on the bike! The paint and the solo seat really give it a unique look. Ride safe!

The bike was about $23,700 new, without any of the listed mods. The way I figure it, the guy had over $60,000 Cdn in it.
I bought if for $16,500 CDN with 20,000 miles on the clock.
Everybody likes a deal!

I guess it cost the Dude about $3.00 a mile to ride it, plus gas, oil & tires. IT'S A MONEY PIT!

Great looking bike. Please let me ask a question to others who own a Road Glide was well as "Wally" who has another Harley Touring bike as well.

My Road Glide doesn't seem to collect the bugs-hits like other bikes I've owned. Is it just me or does the RG shark nose really seem to create a slip stream that moves the bugs away from the bike? I do get a few bug-hits on the head light cover, but noticeably less over all than previous bikes.

Best Regards, Bill
