epalm posted:Sorry, $7k Canadian Funnydollars. A new XL883L "starts at" $10,189 CAD That's a $4K bike all day long, 5 if it's a road babby (add 4-600 loonies to get to CDN $.) The HD tires are actually co-branded Dunlops; Metzelers generally get positive reviews as alternatives. '08 was year 2 of EFI. I would advise against the L model unless you're inseam challenged and absolutely need the bike slammed. If not, hold out for an R or C since you're shelling out that much, and get the 1200 if you're ready. The bike actually has respectable highway range with the larger tank--your backside will need to stop before it does. Check out xlforum.net, they have a subforum dedicated to the EFI models and you can pick up pretty quickly if there were concerns for that year.

El Jebus posted:I've been curious about the vrods, is there a reason they keep their value so well? I see 03 vrods in SoCal for $10k sometimes. They are probably crazy, but still, there are many listed much closer to the price of a new one. A new Night Rod is only $17k or so... Because some of them are like this: http://annarbor.craigslist.org/mcy/4932989172.html All jokes about polished/never ridden aside, people with $10-20K into

Pinky Artichoke posted:One of the guys at a local dealership told me HD has provisioning dealers down to a science, so they rarely have anything sitting for long. He said that it was the most efficient system he's seen in his years in the industry. Then you figure a good percentage of people who've decided to pony up for a brand-new Harley probably have specific enough dreams that they'll order a bike with some degree of factory and/or dealer customization. Spot on. This is what I meant by "some markets." I didn't mean to imply that it was a widespread practice, just that the OTD/Total price has more upward pressure now. And when you start putting together an honest, clinical accounting of these costs, a fixed, zero BS price tag on an equivalent bike starts to look pretty good (assuming it doesn't have filigrees, howling wolves and dreamcatchers all over it.)

complete NOS set of the tins for my bike in the same radical paint scheme The moto gods were surely smiling upon you this day. NOS and new take-off standard tin sets are out there all day long; this was a rare find and you were right to take the short term financial hit. You'll get the $ back eventually.

Same situation with wheels--between the front and back, I think the Sporty axle size changed no less than 5 times from 04-present. Way to crush everything but the errr, bespoke aftermarket.
