I tracked down a black one (1k miles I think) in Iowa that was used at a dealer. The gal on the phone told me it was good timing, they were doing friends and family weekend with very good deals on bikes. I was already skeptical (good deals, ya right). So she told me to giver her an hour to talk to the manger and see what their price for it on the weekend would be. She called back and said it's a great deal $39,900. I don't think/unsure if that was out the door. I chuckled inadvertently. She's like what? I said I guess you have to do what you have to do, but that's to high of a price to me. I said thanks for your time and hung up. The bike had a backrest and that was it.
Yep, it was the one on Michigan's CL that I bought. I skipped over it while searching for the Black one (wife really liked black), then forgot about it. It happened to pop back up on my radar when I was running out of black options for the wife. I will say the orange looked way better in person to me and the wife was quite happy. We didn't care for the SGS orange (wife said absolutely no) that came out this year. It kept making me think of road construction signs lol. Had great pearl in it up close though.
The owner was really nice guy. We all talked for almost 2 hours. He still had the CVO luggage still sealed in plastic, the gold key, manuals, the quick release top bag to go on the tour pack, wheel/rotor lock, passenger backrest for when the tourpack comes off. The keyfobs I have for it are huge though lol. Couldn't they make them a bit smaller this day and age? The guy wan't hurting for money, didn't want a lowballer, flat out said, and he didn't want someone wasting his time. He was a yes or no kind of guy, and I don't blame him. I offered to paypal him earnest money that I was serious. He also said he was willing to drive 2 1/2 hours to the Mackinac bridge to meet me to help out on my drive. I am pulling the Vance & Hines full exhaust system off (probably today), and will be selling it if anyone's interested. I'll have it in the for sale section here or HD forums. I already ordered up HD's EPA tuner & full exhaust system with mufflers as I want to retain the factory warranty. I'll be keeping the FP3 just to use as a great diagnostic tool.
