EDIT! This is an '08 - my apologies for keyboard error. And now back to the listing, but make me an offer, I've seen what the other bikes are going for, what is the value of a warranty? /original In the last 35 years that I've been a daily rider I've had about 25 bikes. And now after a bit more than a year and 8K miles on my Uly, I'm ready to move on again. I hate selling it, but I can't buy another one till she's gone. Just had the full 10K service, new pads, new tires (Dunlop 616s with 600 miles on them, adding 30 a day though). More goodies: It's got a warranty through 01/2013, pretty sure it's transferable. Oil temperature dip-stick. Has both frame and wheel sliders (virgin, never dropped except once in a small sand pit I found while camping at the beach at 2mph), upgraded pegs (and the stock ones), oil-cooler guard. Touratech sidestand foot. Wired for zumo 550 and battery tender. Comfort kit with the flash (I personally think that the flash is the only way to go). The bad: Steering head has a 1/32" deep groove where the steering lock didn't stop somebody from being able to turn the forks about a year ago. That forcing the bars to turn broke the ignition lock (which I replaced of course), but I'm surprised at how easy it was. Anyway, don't rely on the steering lock for security. The bike was originally barrier orange, but I traded the dealer for his black front panel and air cover, keeping just the orange seat. I think it looks real sharp that way, just a hint of color. No luggage, but I do have the tall windshield, spare belt, couple of oil filters, and the full set of manuals (owner, service, diagnostics, wiring). PM me if you want some pictures. I've been mulling over the price and I'm asking $7800, it's got a nice set of farkles, new tires, and pads, plus 3 more years on the extended warranty (which includes tires/wheels). The warranty alone cost over a grand, then add brand new tires, brake pads, and all the farkles. If you don't want the warranty, I believe that they'll let me cancel it for some pro-rated refund and I'll drop the price by that much. I haven't called them yet for the full details, but this is the HD warranty so it's good at all shops. I'll post some more pictures when I get home tonight or tomorrow.

You are all so right, my bad! Ooof, I knew it was an '08, I meant to write '08. But I'm dyslexic with numbers, I almost always double check all my numbers because I can not only reverse them, I can bend them and I squished the heck out-of-that. I've not looked at the help, does anybody know how to fix a title? Help! Calling the moderator, hello, is this thing on? |
