Question Ultra Classic

I have an '01 FXDWG but want to get an Ultra Classic. I want to get a new one but hate parting with that much cash. What model year would be a good choice for a used one?

2002 was a good year, still had the timken main bearing, forged flywheels, delphi FI and new swing arm. Good low mile examples can be found for a reasonable price as well. One just sold not far from me with 13k miles for around $10K.
If you want newer, up to 06 are pretty reasonable. Once you jump to the 96 and 6 speed, the prices jump a bit.

Well, that depends on the budget, there are some good deals on '09's and they have the new frame.

6 speed and 96 CI sure would be nice....
I would start looking at '07.
I love my 88 CI '04 though....don't get me wrong.

I'd start looking for a '09.
Has the new frame, 6 speed, big tires..
Should be able to find a nice one with 20K miles or less.
