That's a good price range for the buying the way things are now.

 

Based on pricing I have seen you did darn good! Congrats and enjoy it!

 

Sounds like a decent price for what you got. Nice bike I like the color. Enjoy the new ride.

 

Good deal. Not even broken it. Gotta love garage queens.

 

Kinda makes you (me) wonder, though, why the previous owner bought a bike to begin with. 3500 miles in 6 years is around 584 miles a year. Good deal for you, probably a bad investment for the previous owner(s). I see that all the time in the shops around here. Bikes that are three, maybe 4 years old with 5K or less on the clock. Just makes me shake my head.

 

If you got what you wanted and you're happy it's a good deal. What others think doesn't matter.

 

Steve, you didn't do good... You did great! You just bought what is essentially a new 6 year old EGC that is barely broken in. And it is stock! Just like a blank canvas, ready to make it yours. It doesn't get any better than that.

I bought an '04 EG Ultra in 2009, 3590 original miles. The first owner had done stage I & stage II mods when it was brand new. It had issues for the first two years, and I spent a lot of time and $$ sorting it out. Turns out the dealer installed one of the cams "out of time". Once that was rectified the bike was golden, but even then the tuning was finicky, and I always had the sense that I would always have issues with the high strung nature of the modified 88 c.i., and the cam robbed it of low end torque and overall flexibility around town in favor of high end power. It didn't really come alive until 65-70 mph or so. My indy said it was because the stage II were "highway cams". The bike was someone else's version of what they wanted, not mine. It would have cost too much to take it back down and make it the way I wanted it.

Point is don't be too quick to modify the engine. I plan on leaving my new '12 Road Glide Ultra stock, with the only upgrade being a set of slip ons. Take your time and research any changes you make to the bike. Use high quality parts and accessories-they cost more up front but will last and quality always shows. Your bike will look classy and drive a lot better.

Use good synthetic lubricants, especially Redline trans lube with shockproof. Your transmission will shift more smoothly and quietly. A lot of HDF members swear by it, as do I.

Welcome to the forum. Beautiful bike. Ride safe!

Did ya get the bike you wanted? Are you happy?
In the end if you answer yes to those 2 questions the amount you paid for it doesn't matter. You only get one go around at this crazy thing we call life. Enjoy it while you can!

 

Nice bike. Congratulations!

I'd say you stole that thing!

 

You did well, enjoy your ride.
