Welcome from sunny south Florida!

Thanks again to all. Again just hoping for some words of wisdom. I will look for the official cover but  if I can not find one I'm sure that I can get an aftermarket cover that will fit the bike. Otherwise it seems to me that the 2000 FLTRSEI 's are solid and mechanically sound. This will give me a chance to ride a fun and unique motorcycle. Looking forward to it. Mike

Carb or fuel injected? Make sure you get the shark fin tail pipes if the owner still has them.

Fuel injected. And he does have the shark fin tail pipes. Mike

The SERGs were all FI bikes AJ.  Though with the concern some have over the old Marelli systems not eveyone would agree that's a good thing.

Early 2000 model bikes still had the cam bearing concern also.  But at 14k+ miles the bike is probably ok.  The wandering idle issue on the Marelli bikes really is addressable.  Short of parts being unavailable on some future date I'd not consider turning an M&M bike in to a carb'd bike.  Marelli worked out if you know how to talk to it.

If you get the bike and then feel the need to get a factory parts manual (always a good idea) don't take that manual as gospel.  The 2000 parts manual has lots of errors in it.  Several are typos and several others are indirect supercessions that don't follow the normal nomenclature.  Those are mostly on painted parts.  But be prepared to do a little homework occasionally if at first a part number is reported to be bad or no longer available.

ok, my turn, since you started out by saying you were new to HD. i would stay away from a 2000 anything.
Get a new bike for your first one, no need to go CVO yet. take some time and learn all the HDisms. maintain the warranty, do all the service as recommended. when you can, do them yourself.
I'll guarantee this 2000 will require some wrenching and unless your very familiar with HD & CVO it'll cost you more in the long run. JMO. I don't want to see him burn out on HD on his first bike.

Good point Larry....... but IF the bike has been maintained as it sounds like it has, with low mile on it. I don't see how he can go wrong. Your point is good new bike = Warranty!!!, old bike = possible problems. To me it's a toss up. JMO It sounds like 2th has done a little digging on this bike, heck he started out by asking for advice from us on CVOH...... um huh, scratch that!  Hope it works out for you 2thplumber, oh yea.... Welcome to the site from SW MO! Post some pics of the bike when you get a chance.
