I bought my 01 UC from a local HD dealer. Had 35K miles, previous owner invested lots of $$ for stuff, and I paid little over 11K. Maybe to high, I'll never know. I did check with another HD dealer and was told based on milage, 11K could be very reasonable. As far as upgrades, not sure. How does it handle versus new, not sure and it's doesn't matter. The bike runs great, not the fastest horse out the gate, but I ride it like it's off the showroom floor. Figure another year or two with this one, and I'll be asking what you are.

Maybe someday my son will look for my next ride.

 

I'm with you on that, my buddy has an 02 with 185K and I'm betting he's gotten way more enjoyment out of his bike than a lot of these 07 and 08s with 5K and 10K

 

Like birdmandave, I purchased a 2001 Ultra Classic with 33k miles. The bike had a Stage II 95" and other chrome upgrades from the original owner. When I purchased the bike I installed the Screamin Eagle Hydraulic Cam Chain Tensioners and Oil pump kit along with adjustable pushrods.
I have changed the tires, all the fluids, rebuilt the front brake reservior, and most recently replaced the drive belt and primary seals due to a puncture caused by a stone or similar. At the same time I had already assembled the parts to upgrade the Swingarm to the 2002+ design so while replacing the belt I changed out the swingarm bushings. I will have to wait for next year when I have the budget to purchase the CCE Swingarm kit.
I have also put a set of CVO Touring Pipes (late model take-offs) in place of the Bub 7's which were too loud for me.
I love the bike and plan to keep her as I don't see having the budget or justification to upgrade to a 110 CVO bike unless I wing the lottery!

 

My wife rides an 06 ultra that was my bike until I got an 12. It's a great bike. I did change the 8 degree injectors to 25 degree injectors. I'm also going to have to deal with the cam chain tensioners before long which is not an issue with the one your looking at. Sounds like a good deal to me.

 

Just for a point of reference, I picked up an 08 Ultra in March with 12.5K miles with some chrome goodies for $14000. There are some deals out there if you can do some shopping.

 

Sounds like a good deal and with the cam tensioner issue resolved, should not be any problems.

 

Sounds like a good deal,if u think its worth it go for it.The only other thing I'd look for is ABS,saved my butt couple of times.Just my .02.
