Turns out getting screwed can be good.
Shook hands with a Harley dealer on an '03 Cop Glide, 32000 miles for $8500. Went back the next day to pony up the dough, and the bastard sold it out from under me, an hour after I'd left.
Pissed off, I started searching again, and found an '07 EG Standard for $9000. Now I'm happier than a two peckered puppy in a stud farm! It'll still be about 6 weeks till I can go get it, and the anxiety is killing me!
I have a 93 Yamaha Virago XV1100 that I've kinda got sold to a guy I work with. I'm gonna continue riding it till I get the Harley. I built a single carb intake for it, and used a press on flange to bolt up a 1200 Sportster carb (rejetted), and the Yamaha runs like a bat outta hell..... On the one hand, I might miss the 'Rago, but prolly only till I set the cruise on the EG and ride 600 miles gettin her to her new home!
I plan to give it a SE255 cam upgrade, and I'll need a set of lower fairings. Other than that, I think it's perfect. It's the one I've searched for for a long time! Eventually, she'll be a 103", but it'll be a while down the road before I can hemorrhage the cash for that. I have 5 kids that think they gotta eat.

The '07 has about 41k miles, but the transmission had a main shaft rebuild about 1000 miles ago. It's got Cobra 2 into 1 exhaust with FuelPak.

Glad it worked out.

With the current state of affairs, it might not be prudent to advertise your wares in an open forum on the interweb......
