That is some sound advice! You'll know for sure based on what his other possessions look like.

Now go get it!

Sounds like a good deal to me. The upgrades to go along with the good motor, go for it!
To bad the moco still isn't using the forged cranks and timkin bearings....

I too would like to hit on the point made about house/car. Speaks well of the owner and the bike. You may find a better price on the a similar bike, but a better deal on the same bike that was cared for as well as this one may be tough. Riding season is here/coming, bikes will move fast. That works both for you, and against you.

The cam chest is done so really what else could be wrong with it that may not be wrong with the next one... If it looks like it has been loved and you like the colour $7500 is not much for a Harley, I mean some people spend that much upgrading a new one that has nothing wrong with it. Buy it and ride it.

I believe that's a very fair deal...if you are serious about buying it, I wouldn't dick around...somebody else is gonna come along and pick it up for $7500...it always slays me when people think they have forever to mull a purchase, and then are surprised when they finally pop their head out and go to buy it...and it's gone, and they're befuddled! Carpe diem...
