Hello from Alberta

Hi,
After 28 bikes, I finally have an HD: 1997 Heritage Springer (FLSTS), with 69,500 km. The PO kept the thing in amazing condition and was quite disciplined about maintenance and tuneups, so the higher mileage doesn't bother me. I pick it up in a week. Crummy cell phone pics:

The bike comes with a bunch of accessories: passenger backrest, a solo rear bag, 2 windscreens, rear carrier, passenger floor boards, JR Rocket tip mufflers, Dakota Digital Speedo & Tach, and a factory service manual.

Are there any things I should be worried about at this mileage (roughly 43,000 miles)?

Peter
