14,000 is no big deal. I just traded in an 09 for an 03 Anniversary Fatboy with 9,400 miles. Great find, be safe !!!

Grasshopper, so much to learn..

At 14 K, She ain't even broke in good Yet....

When U get 80 to 100 k on her then U can say she's getting some miles on her.. U'll get that easy if U take care of her...



Welcome to the Forum and safe riding.

My two previous bikes were just really breaking in at around 9,000 to 10,000 miles. 14K is nothing to be concerned about.

Welcome from So Cal.

With proper care the motor is good for 100,000 miles. Take care of it & it will take care of you. Welcome to the forum. Get the Ride Like a Pro V DVD and practice. The chapters on slow speed maneuvering & how to pick up your bike alone are worth the price on the DVD.
