2006 Harley Softail - longevity

Looking at a 2006 Softail with 27k miles, FI. Appears to be well maintained.

Any critical items to look out for? Upgrades that should have been done along the way?

Some guys who own them will chime in shortly but the short answer is that they run forever. I know of several people who have put mega-miles on modern Harleys.

My ‘06 Electra Glide had about 40k miles when I sold it to a buddy in 2018 and other than tires/oil needed nothing.

It’s still running strong,

Think 06 was the last year for the plastic cam chain tensioners.

Service history would be good to have, also the price should be dirt cheap..........

Is $6500 dirt cheap? Paint is immaculate.
