Harley purchase need some advice

[Todd T]

I cant believe I'm typing this, but I've decided to buy a Harley. I have never given them the time of day but am looking for something in the cruiser touring department and they seem to fit the bill. The VFR has to go

I think I've decided on the FLSTN Softail Deluxe. At first I was looking at the the heritage but I didnt like the studded saddle bags. So we then turned our attention to bagging a deluxe and the more I looked at it the more I liked the looks without it and the Solo look is flat out awesome IMO. I priced out a bigger pillion seat, sissy bar and removable windshield. I actually found the exact bike i like on ebay but the timing is just not right for me. looky

I want the deep cobalt blue and white gold pearl like the one above. I've seen several FLSTN's on the net but cant find any in those colors in a showroom (new or used).

I cant find what year the six speed came out is it brand new for 07 or what other years have it? also the older ones look to have an 88CI engine and I've seen a few listed as 95's is that the 88 with a big bore kit? anything or any years I need to look out for? what is considered high mileage? (per yr.)

Thanks in advance
Todd
