Default Thinking about buying a Harley

I know this isn't exactly the right forum for this, but I figured some of you might know a few things about Harleys..

Someone I know is looking to get rid of his 02 FXD Dyna Super glide w/ 12k miles on it. He's asking 5k, the blue book says 7500 retail price. He's got an intake, full exhaust, and had the bike dyno'd to jet the carbs correctly. Bike's been sitting since October, but it was winterized and started right up..

I attatched some pics.. let me know what you guys think!

I think if thats the bike you want and the price is fair to you than buy it. There's a lot of people on this board that will bash Harley's at any given chance. The bottom line is they are good, reliable, fun bikes. Have at it.

I've never been into harleys.. Always kinda liked the way they looked, but didn't understand why people rode them.. My uncle just got his Road King upgraded to an S&S 106 and had the whole suspension redone as well as the tranny. Thats one extremely comfortable & fast bike, it's a lot of fun in a different way..

I think having one from each end of the spectrum would make riding that much more enjoyable as a whole..
