Just for interest sake, I saw a nice 2006 Sportster 1200 Custom for sale on Friday in Yackandandah. Bloke said it had 12,000k on it & it was for sale at $9,100. It is pretty much the same as mine, blue pearl paint & pinstriping, it also had screaming eagle side shot pipes. Made me a bit depressed as it was in better shape than mine even though I thought mine was in good nick, but mine has been across the continent & back.
Well the 1200c I saw in Yackandandah was as perfect as far as I could see (its the same model as mine). I had a bit of a look around it & could not fault it.
