All good advice here, it's a buyers market for sure you'll just have to wade through a few to find what you want at market price. I wouldn't consider buying from a dealer at all unless they have exactly what you want at a fair retail market price.

You guys complain too much.

Went back to the dealer today and took the bike on a long test ride. I had forgotten how much fun and how comfortable a Harley is. We worked out a price that I think was fair. I am a Harley owner again! And no, I did not trade in the Norton! Thanks to everyone that gave me advice or even made a smart ass remark. I really do appreciate the knowledge that this board has.

I don’t mind saying, $9850.

Based on what I saw in a quick look at C-list last night after reading this thread, that's a pretty damn good price for that Harley.

Nice!

It has been on the showroom floor for over a month. Most Harley buyers are interested in buying a full dress Harley. The big baggers. The Low Rider fits me just right.

Congrats - it will make a nice stablemate for the old snortin' Norton. You can ride it on the days the Norton is doing more coughing than snorting...

I love having a vintage "cool" bike, my 1976 Sportster hot-rod. The only reason I love having it is because I have a modern, reliable bike, in the form of my Road King. It really is the "best of both worlds".

Congrats! I like it, I have always liked those and Fat Boys but I am just too damn tall. The Road King/ Electra/ Road Glides just fit me better. The comfort of a Harley is nice and I enjoy nice long days on mine. We did Red Lodge, MT to CO in one day last year and that’s right at 500 miles.

That's great! Enjoy!

Late to this thread but, congrats! I’ve owned a couple of dyna’s (08, 10...both FXDC’s) and both were rock solid with no issues at all.

Ride safe and enjoy!

Well done! Frankly that bike is, IMHO what a bike should be. Clean lines, good ergos, not a lot of stuff bolted on everywhere. Have fun!

Congrats on a nice HD........Now get that muffler off and save some lives........

That’s a lot of bike for that money. Well bought and enjoy! Should be fun

Also, intermittently rev it every time you stop for traffic signals. Everyone loves that!

j/k ... Have fun and watch for morons.

Great looking bike! I've been a fan of the Low Rider since they came out in '78(?) My buddy got the first new one I ever saw. God, was I jealous. :cool:

It's been 50 years since Harley fitted a Tillotson carburetor to a bike. My '67 Sportster had one, originally, until I swapped it out for one of the Eliminator SU's. While the Tillotson was a certifiable POS, I never had to constantly work the throttle to keep the thing running. It actually idled quite well, as did a couple more Sportsters with Bendix and Keihen carbs, and a couple of Shovels with Keihens. I have been running an S&S Super "E" since the late '80's, and it idles and keeps running without having to constantly blip the throttle as well. So did my 2000 RK, with its CV carb. I must be doing something wrong - every Harley I have ever owned, regardless of carb (or FI on the new one), has had no trouble idling without having to constantly encourage it. I have to say, this has got to be one of the more embarrassing things that some of my fellow enthusiasts seem compelled to do.

Nice looking scoot! Get out and enjoy it, and don't forget the gremlin bell!
