Looking at 2005 SEEG

(1/2) > >>

Mitten:
Just sold a 2010 Ultra Classic last fall. Looking to replace it. I found a nice 05, in the red color. It has a 6 speed and a Axtell 107 kit.

My question to you folks is, would you consider this bike or look at a newer model. I can say my 2010 handled better than the 2000 Electra Glide I owned. I really like the look of 04 and 05 SEEG, the paintwork and simplicity of the bike is what keeps me looking at it and considering buying an older bike.

JCZ:
While the 04 & 05 SEEG has one of the nicest paint schemes that the MoCo has ever came out with, those bikes do not have ABS brakes.  For that reason, it'd be a deal breaker for me.   09 and up (on the CVO baggers) for ABS brakes.  Also the newer frame, 09 and up offers a smoother ride/handling.

Love my 🍒 . Buy what u like. One of the best paint schemes, upgraded motor is a plus as long as cam converted to gear. OEM parts are obsolete. The lack of ABS wouldn't be a deal breaker for me because I don't know what I'm missing.

The new frame is definitely an upgrade, and the reason I am on the fence. ABS is also a great safety feature. The 110 is a deal killer. I'd move to an M8 before I bought a 110.
