I bought my 1999 Heritage three years ago with 37,000 miles on it for $6500 without knowing anything about it. It didn't run and had obviously spent some time outside (I know, I know). It's been very good to me, just hit 50,000 miles and just a couple of small issues. I loved it.


A old buddy stopped by my shop last week. He's a an old biker and certified Harley mechanic who really doesn't want a job so he gets by buying and selling Harleys and cars and trucks. He's got 8 Harleys and needs to sell a couple. One is a 1996 Heritage, 20,000 miles, always stored inside and looks like it just rolled out of the showroom, silver and red. The owner is 75 and bought the bike in 1997 and now has "lost his nerve" and sold it to my friend. Friend wants to sell it, offers it to me for $6000.


I put mine on Craigslist for $5000 for a quick sell. Guys came by with $4500 cash and I let him ride away. That was a sad moment...


Going to miss the old girl. She was maroon and black, absolutely gorgeous. And we had some great times together. But excited about my new ride. I'll get her tomorrow. Not sure how I'll like the color, but we'll see.


Pics to come.

 

I'm Sure it'll look real sweet......

 

Sounds like you are going to walk away with a nice bike out of this deal.

 

Yeah. I figure I rode my old one for three years and 13,000 miles for $1500, and walk away with a much better bike. Win win.

 

Boy, you had us going there for a minute. When I read the title, I was afraid you were going to go "Traildog" on us.

 

Just got it, and it is pristine, just like Al said. I Actually love the color. Gonna have to get some engine guards though.

Has a Mikuni carb, and an Andrews EV-46 cam. Not sure if that's the right cam for me, but I'll ride it home and see.

 

Hey! Ain't nothin wrong with "doin the DOG"

 

Sounds like a good deal and it's a sharp bike! Enjoy it Larry.

 

Rode it about 13 miles home. Definitely sounds better than my SuperTrapp did. Has more low end grunt than the old bike, but not as much in the higher revs it didn't seem like. Probably the difference in the cam and pipes. Freaked me out a little not having engine guards, even though I haven't dropped a bike in quite a while.

 

Nice bike.
What Citori do you have?
Mine was for trap. 32" bbls.
