Well, I looked, left, went to look again. The bike I was looking at was okay, just wasn't 100% sure. It just seemed a little tawdry aside from the chrome and pipes. The aftermarket seat sucks, and the aftermarket grips are as bad as the seat. Not sure what people are thinking with some of the mods they do. Then I noticed the clutch housing was loose. I started thinking "what if something I really want comes in after I buy this?" I decided to think about it some more.
Sure enough, a 2009 FXSTCI Softail Custom came in. Actually, it's the original bike I saw on their website before it went offline. Evidently, someone backed out on the purchase. I went to the shop Saturday and left contemplating. It has some rust on the front spokes, other than that, it's very much like my old bike. Love the deep purple and silver 2-tone, and the only aftermarket parts are pipes and pegs. 8900 miles.
After thinking about it over the weekend, talked to them, and they came down another $300, so I bought it. Just need to figure out how to get it home (it’s 37F right now and I don’t have a helmet).

@ChiefWalksWith40oz just stay out of the big cities I very rarely go into the city with my bike with my buddies. We’re going on a trip in two weeks here we’re putting them in trailers and taking them to California for 10 days.
