If you can afford new. Go for it. The gamble of buying someone's elses flog machine scares me.
Atleast new you get 2 years Warrenty. And not to mention 1 years HOG membership that also gives you 10% discount on purchases.

Sorry if being niaive. Do most owners of reasonably late model bikes up for sale REALLY flog them enough to do long term damage? I only know blokes who treat them as their pride and joy. A good service history, visual inspection, mechanical inspection and assessment of the owner should give you an idea of the bikes condition.

Chriso is right. Thousands of bikes out there at ridiculously cheap prices with room to move (down). Save your cash.

Dont matter if twin cams been flogged, ya can't hurt the fucken things, we not living in the 70s.
I actually prefere to. It something that's been riden properly then something that's been lugged about

Come on speedy. Waiting a month to pen a comeback is very tardy of you. 

I've been busy with more important matters.
