I would keep it simple and just do a seat/pipes/bar upgrade. Probably z-bars. Keep it mostly stock.

I want you guys to share your 'deal making skills'. Gimme an idea as to what to expect for a monthly payment with no money down. I'd love to grab a leftover and really get a hot deal. I've never bought new, and I hear people with credit scores around 500 (which is bad) have been approved. My score was 610 last year when I checked it and I make decent money.

There are 7 HD DEALERS within an hour drive from me. How should I approach this?

Say A Softail Custom with a list of options on it. Just come up with an exact list by part number and write it all down and copy it 6 times. Take a copy to your 7 dealers and present it to them and ask them to give you there best price. If your bike is your hobby as most are do not finance it. If you do not have the cash save it up. You should only finance your house. Transportation if you must but NOT A HOBBY. MOM

Isn't that sort of like saying the easiest way to become a millionaire is to start with a million dollars?
