For that money he could buy a nice low mile used bike and put a big badass motor in it.
Thats what I would do

I think he could find a 09 or newer CVO for not a lot more money. I saw a 2012 CVO ultra with 1100 miles on it for sale the other day. $30,000. There are deals out there just have to find them. The 2009 and above 110" motors appear not to have as many problems as the 07/08's. I'd keep looking. CVO'S are nice bikes.

I would not buy a used '07 or '08 CVO bike.
I would buy a 2009 or newer used CVO bike though.
