Only concern is the frame. Could have been tweaked.

The bike was wrecked up front and the title is not exactly in his hand.

It could be a good deal if follows up and checks it out.

Get an 09 or up ultra classic. Much smoother ride and wife can hear radio plus you can communicate

Title is in his hand.....are you guys not reading? No Ultra Classic for me, FLHX is as as comfy as it gets. Lets keep the topic at hand at hand.

I'm on your side Glen! Go Get It! I wouldn't buy it sight unseen though.

Something to think aobut:

We are a family here. People ask for help, and pass out help. Politeness and manners are the way things are done here.

If you ask for something, and then the post grows with people offering advice etc., it is in bad form to then come back later with a rude response.

In short, the "alpha male" attitude doesn't fly around here. Telling us what we are now going to talk about, etc. is not acceptable here.

It has been tried before....and those that have done so, are usually banned.

So, I humbly suggest you try out the golden rule. Treat others the way you like to be treated.

If you wish, take it up with Terry1955 the Chief Mod.

At a minimum, an '09.

Next step, the 103 with a used '11 with the Power Pack option.

Ultimate - brand new. Check the thread on financing though - don't buy what you can't afford long term, missing out on doing long trips, mods, etc.

I guess I was assuming he didn't have it as it wasn't in his name.

Sorry Joe nothing I said was meant ina rude manner......if you or anyone else took it that way my apologies.

Back on the bike. Ive been trying to get in touch with the seller since yesterday and got no response.....? If this doesnt work out I will probably just buy new. The newer model usex ones with low miles are fetching $18-19k. No sense in paying $19k for something used when I can buy a new one for $20k.

It is in his name. His company name that he owns. Continental Auto.
