Default Gonna do it...I think!!!

Hello All-

Well I would like to say I have a bike as well, BUT not yet. We are going to go to the shop and look at some. Now they have an 04 1200c, after market pipes, screamin eagle air filter and 3400 miles and they are asking $8500. They want to get them gone. Now from what I have seen this looks like a screamin deal, (no pun intended!) So we are going to check them out. I think I have my husband convinced that I NEED this!!! So if you have a info that is much appreciated. I think with the mods they have done on the sportys it will suit me fine for a while!!! Looking forward to chatting with you. Oh and if any of you are up in the NW corner of WA, I'm on Whidbey Island, going to Bellingham HD and also Skagit HD, FYI

Welcome to the forum. Good luck on the bike. I know you will enjoy it. The price seems just a bit high to me but that is just my opinion.

Welcome, and good luck on the bike.

If you go to Skagit H-D this weekend, look up Rick Torres. I think he's from Oak Harbor, a man from the base for sure, and a really nice guy. Bought my bike from him last May. Skagit treated me fine.
