I am looking at an '03, only add on is a Rinehart exhaust. The bike has very low miles, They want $27k what are your opinions. I know the moco built more of this model than any other CVO, has this hurt the value. [smiley=nixweiss.gif]
The price is consistent with what I have seen from the midwest and the east. There are always considerations of your budget and what extras you are going to put on. When you read through the threads about this model and the other, more generalized threads, you will gain a sense of what has been done to optimize each particular bike. Memorial Day weekend I was in Zanesville, Ohio and looked at a totally stock 03 with less than 500 miles for $29995.00, claimed they would not budge.
One member of this site,
flhrsei-2_for_sale, has a great
'03 SERK available. It is in pristine condition with all of the good extras already in place, the original parts that were replaced before delivery are in "new", unused condition. For a little bit more money than what you are looking at spending with the above mentioned bike you would be getting one with 6 more years of warranty and the dyno sheets to go with it. You can contact her at memoque@hotmail.com or YIM at metmoque.
The concerns, that I would address with the one that you are looking at, are with the addition of the Rinehart exhaust, the efficiency of the mapping of the ECM has not been optimized......usually a K&N air cleaner/filter has been added and the ECM reflashed for the new mapping. In addaition, many owners have opted to not reflash using the H-D factory mapping ....... they have gone to the Race Tuner or the Power Commander for a more available tweaking of the settings that they or their technicians are pursuing for the performance levels they are trying to achieve.
