Greetings to All!
To clarify, I bought a 'choice' Arresting Red 1999 FXR2 for $10,600, with just under 2200 mi. and with several goodies thrown in. My 5th Harley, but my first FXR. I shopped for a long time and found several red '2's which were priced within a small asking price band between $12.5k and $14k. Also, it seemed that most of these had been for sale for quite a while, so, in my case, the seller was motivated to deal. Since he was 400 miles away, I didn't hold a gun on him or anything, we just talked, shared pictures (and Harley stories), and made creative offers and counter-offers until we were both happy.
I have several pictures and, since I am new to this forum action, as soon as I figure out how to post them, I'll reveal the machine to all. To give an indication about my pleasure with the 'hot rod' FXR2, I've already logged 25% more miles on it in the week I've had it than were put on it in the last 10 years! (and it had a flat front tire for a couple of days!) That's one thing I'll probably change very soon, is both tires. Although they look OK, I'm a bit concerned about riding around alot on 10 year old tires.
I'll keep all informed.
