My thought as well.

There is no doubt in my mind I'd do the 2010 from what you shared. The age would mean nothing to me as nothing important (more on that) changed. Low mileage and more add-ons, with a lower price tag are all wins in my book.

I think only the Limited got a 103 in 2010, so if this is an Ultra it doesn't have the bigger engine. Doesn't concern me though. First, many have said they can't tell the difference, and second a little easy, quick, reliable, relatively inexpensive, engine work and you are exceeding the 103 anyway.

with the 103 you get the upgraded compensator (important), the oil cooler, automotic compression release, and a few years of development.

So folks. I really appreciate all the input. The bike is at my local dealership and they did a pretty decent deal. Vance and Hines true dual abd 4 inch ovals and big sucker going on as we speak. I went with the 2010 one. Pics later.

Some people just don't have the time to ride them as much as they'd like. I've got a 2002 Fat Boy that I bought new in April 2002, so it's got 11 riding seasons on it. It just hit 32,000 miles this year.
Maybe your dealer could hook you up with the previous owner to get the story.

So I finally got my Sig pic changed. All I have to say babout this NEW to me bike, is that it is night and day from my 07. No lag from 1st gear. Much more responsive all around. It is pretty much exactly the way I want it. Heck, even the stock ( I think stock) is better than the other one even with the hotunes and amp I had. Happy Happy Happy.

She is a beauty. Bring it by my house and I will wring it out like a used washcloth. Enjoy your new ride!
