50k miles too many for a 99 dyna? - Harley Davidson Forums: Harley Davidson Motorcycle Forum

i was gonna buy a 03 dyna that was dropped. but changed my mind when i got the price of a new 100th aniv. tank and stuff.

anyhow i found another deal seems great. its a 99 dyna FXD in MINT condititon, just under 50k miles on the clock. guys says he always taken perfect care of it, all fluids are amsoil, the bike is very pretty.

my question is, how many miles are too many miles. i can ride this bike home for $5000 today!

the bike has lots of polished aluminum, paint is perfect, although it dont matter becasue im gonna paint anyway. ill also throw a wideglide front end on it next year maybe.

also, is it possible to put the cluster or dash on a FXD, like the wide glides have the speedo on the tank.?

Sounds better Eric.....I would look around on Craigslist, etc...There are tons of bikes for sale cheap, even with low miles....It's a major buyer's market right now...

ive looked every day on CL in my tri-state area. people want way too much! i figured 5k is perfect. that leaves me $1500 for modding!

Try reaching out a little farther to more states...a little road trip might get you a real deal...I'm going to look out here and if I see anything I'll shoot you a link...Lee aka Blackdog

Some prices are a little higher but these are clean, lower mileage bikes...

Lol. Need cash for bail! Awsome.

Anyways, I am in the same market for a '91 and up dyna for around $5,000. They are out there. Especially with lower miles, keep looking.

I don't know I really like the one I posted. 5k delivered. And he gonna ride here 100 miles, so I'll know it runs good.

Any road trip over 100 miles can't really happen right now, I have a 3 day old baby at home.

So how many miles are these twin cams good for? And how much is a rebuild kit?
