Is this a good deal ?
While looking I found a 2002 Electra Glide (not the Ultra) but loaded up with everything and the Touring pack, etc. for $8900. No damage, never laid down, etc. and has around 35k miles. Besides the cam tensioners, anything else to be leery of ? Seems like a good one

It is a good one. Last of the Twin Cams with a hot forged crank and Timken Lefty Bearing, ( Harley got stupid and cheap in 03.) Newer stronger swingarm over earlier models. Newer Delphi fuel injection, ( if yours has fuel injection.)
As for the tensioners, because you have the "good" motor, your bike is a great candidate for gear drive cams to boot when the time comes.
Some call 2002 the best year for touring bikes ever. I agree.
Buy it...

That is a good price. Just buy it. Don't insult the guy, by getting greedy.

That's a good price. I just scanned Cycle Trader and noticed the average price in the Chicago area is about $1200 more.

I'm with Olddude on this. Retail is 9500 and average mileage is 41K on an '02, according to KBB. Private sales are typically lower than retail. I think you can do better, as far as price goes. Having sold (and purchased) plenty of vehicles myself, nobody should expect to get what they're asking -- unless it's a close friend who's offering a miracle deal.

...are you kidding?...pay no attention to those telling you to try and beat up the guy a little more...he is taking a MAJOR beating as it is for God's sake, and the price is EXCELLENT right now...this is how you lose a bike..you go in and say, "I'll give you $8200.00", and the guy is like..."WTF...forget it, I'll keep it"...that's what I would say...jump on that deal, don't look back, and always be proud you found that deal...I am into my 05 Electra Glide Classic for probably $30,000(about $20,000 out the door in 05, then stage 1, pipes, dyno, chrome, detachable everything bla bla bla)...I WISH I had all that back, and bought a bike in the price range you are looking at...same bike for about $20,000 less!!!!...
