2006 K9 with 25K Miles?

[CurtK]

Beautiful bike. I wouldn’t choose that color but it looks good on your bike. The corrosion on the Crome pieces will only get worse and all the Crome probably needs to be replaced. The corrosion eats from the inside out and nothing else will fix it. The high humidity and omg pool chemicals are horrible for the bike. All that being said, the low mileage and being taken care of by you makes it desirable. The other stuff was just dumbass choices by the original owner that need replacing. I do think if you are serious about selling you may be a little high on your price given what needs to be replaced. Just my opinion, sorry just just like assholes we all have an opinion. I do wish you the best of luck with selling but must inform you that you will regret it. Just get out and ride.

Thanks for the critique. It's what I was expecting. I agree that I will regret my decision but just can't find the time to ride. And all the issues will continue to compound. I am not advertising on open market. Just hoping to find a home with someone here. I shopped and read every post here on this site for two years before I was able to find the right bike for me. If that person is not here, I will keep it.

Concerned about the mileage and longevity…….

Thanks!

I would be more concerned if a ~20 year old bike had less mileage
because that would mean the bike's been sitting and sitting's not good for the bike (but that's a whole 'nother discussion)

 

[CurtK]

Yes, I agree sitting for long periods is not good. That is the reasoning for my half-hearted attempt to part with this bike. I recently retired last summer and hoping to get going again. My mechanic drained all fluids [gasoline] and it's all good now. Runs great. IMHO
I have a short startup and run video that I cannot upload because of file size.
Test ride/drive are available upon request.
I am located between New Orleans and the Gulf of America.

This thread is still going? Surprised it’s still for sale

it's a brutal market for bikes. it took me 3 years to sell my HD. and I ended up selling for about half of what I could have if I'd put it up for sale earlier.
Every now and then I browse bikes and see the same ones listed month after month.
Sellers would be more motivated here in DC since parking/garage space is at a premium but in less overpopulated areas there'd be less incentive to sell for a lower price,
just my 2 rupees

This is the one I am looking at.

Thank you all for the advice!

After market speedometer....mileage not accurate. Looks like total performance rocker boxes......if purchased know that the original voltage regulator was prone to fatal short and catching fire.....would want to know make of ehc before purchasing, wires plus install was a butcher job at best. 9k probably negotiable.

The pictures look good. In person may be different. If the price is right then put a few thousand into it and have a nice bike.

From.what I see it has s&s heads and tp rocker boxes...rocker boxes are no big deal being it has s&s heads...it doesn't have a wire plus it has updated ehc which is either a axel or rip kit...either one is good...very fair price on the bike from what I see...and the speedo is programmable within the first 100 miles so if he programmed it then the mileage should be correct.

Looks like S&S ROCKER BOXES.

No I’m pretty sure those are TP rocker boxes. Looks like 4 bolt pattern on the covers

Still has the friggin reflectors on it! Stick to your price.....absolutely a desirable color! Start polishing and you'll get what you want.

I must be looking at the WRONG pictures. Silver bike, with grey flames. S&S rocker boxes.

Yeah you are buddy.

I too thought it was the silver bike which is why I said I wouldn’t have chose the color. The black cherry bike is freaking beautiful.

100 % TP Boxes. I agree.

The problem with two bikes in the same thread, TP or S&S which bike

The silver bike [mine] is all original, no mods. S&S boxes.
