Possible New Bike

:gah::gah::rant::rant:

:roflmao:Not a problem....Sleepy gave you some good advice...if you're buying a used older bagger,Evo or TC check out the electric/electronics,they usually go downhill first, look for low to medium mileage and condition(how well maintained) they all are going to have problems....Ya,kno the sayin....if it's got tits or wheels....brand new with warranty is nice too....just depends on what you want
I wouldn't be afraid to by any used well maintained HD no matter what generation it's from

JB, man what a mess eh, get the bike you like, take ur time deciding, test ride it, even get ur indy to take a look if u not sure of the mechanical condition. Get what u want and "ride it like u stole it"

Sleepy had said that the electronics and other stuff was not that good. Thanks. Did the service manager give any specific issues to point to about the EFI back in that era? I am pretty sure that this one is carbed though. I will be updating either late tonight or early tomorrow with lots of pics...

Not so much was not that good...just getting older, dirt and corrosion are the enemy.
I would shy away from a MM fuelie which is what all the Evo fuelies were and up to '02 TC's

Now if this is an EFI, can you upgrade that system for a reasonable price?

Yes it is, but I hope we can all get our heads back on stop this crap... How have you been anyways??

A fair amount of work and in the $600-$800 range.I'd pass.

Just because of price or the work involved?

The $600-800 would be parts,one main difference in converting between MM injection and Delphi(Cowboy's conversion) is you need a new Main wiring harness, Cowboy didn't,then if you didn't do it yourself I could see it coming in at a couple grand,maybe a little less at an Indy(Ask Cowboy how much for his parts list and add a main harness to it).You'd basically be rewiring the bike.
Yep, the Evo oil goes from tank thru engine and is filtered on the return and TC's go through the filter first. I believe the TC's are the first Harley to run oil through the filter first.

No new motorcycles for me for a long time now. Just sold my '99 Silverado with 278,000 flawless miles, and deliver it tomorrow. Now looking at a new one just like it.

The guy that I take it to for oil changes has been asking me to sell it to him for over 2 years. Couldn't pass up his latest offer, and I can sleep at night knowing he's getting a good one.

Ironically, it's got an old-tech cast iron push-rod motor which is bullet proof, and still gets 25 mpg. The 2011's still use the same exact motor, so high tech is not necessarily better.

My apologies to anyone I have offended lately.

Everyone hold on to their crouch as I am about to give an Update on that 98.

Doing good JB, just really busy with this hot weather, haven't even had a chance to ride the scoot in two weeks :gah: Maybe this weekend I can at least get a short ride in.

Don't remember you offending anyone...good to stir the pot every now and then though:devil:

It seems with new technology more failures are electronic than mechanical and there's a LOT more electronics in new...better in one sense,but can leave you dead in the water and not sure where to start looking with electronic failures.

Ok, here we go. I thought that this was a very nice ride. I was able to take the bike out with just me on it and then with Hot Rider. Enjoy the pictures....

Here are some more.....

:gah:

Only got one question REdneck Johnny, unless its the money,
What is the difference in that bike and my limited as far as what you call Ugly .
That is a Old Lincoln Continental.
FLHT and me has a New Lincoln Continental.
