A few years ago I paid $12 grand for a 2006 Cadillac CTS Sport Luxury model with 78K mile on it. That was probably about $1500 to 2 grand too much. My reasoning? The car was beautiful inside and out, with an amazing upgraded OEM paint job and new brakes, alternator, battery, and some other things as well. I felt that I would not find a gem like this one again. Driving it plastered a smile from ear to ear on my face. (The Sport has OEM performance suspension and is fairly rare, as well). Do I regret paying too much for the car? Hell no.
This past week I bought a 2000 model FXDWG. It's super clean 22,000 miles, almost stock, with a Stage I, Vance&Hines, extra chrome, 3 different seats, 2 different sissy bars, luggage rack, stock take-off pipes, and a new tire and rim band in the box. $5000 here in Texas. When I got it home I pulled the Cam Chest cover and inspected the Cam chain tensioner shoes. Both inner and outer shoes have minor wear. I think I made a good deal.
I bought a standard FXD (not sport) brand new in 2000... I still have it.. 25k miles on it! The FXD was the entry level big bore Harley at the time.. I paid $12k brand new with the cobalt blue paint
Got me an '04 FXDX for $6k... 3 months ago... in SoCal. 18k miles and mostly stock. No neutral issues. Starts up on first stab. Love the dual gauges up top. Blank slate for bolt ons and upgrades. Love it!
@@robertlaube574Sounds like you found a great bike! I have over 60k miles on my 01 FXD, has V&H pipes, stage 2, and Legend Revo A shocks on rear and progressive springs on the front. They are alot of fun!
May wanna check the crank run out. Bought my 05’ for 7200 and eventually learned it had a bad crankshaft. Put a 1900 dollar crank in it including 1000 extra for bearings, gaskets, and so on. She runs like a CHAMP now but man it’s scary buying these 88’s. 🤣 (mines a 95 ci now)
Yeah you did well, it's bad-ass dyna with the upgrades you will always want. I am getting my 01 Dyna FXD to that point, but dropped 4k into it over the past year. But it rides and sounds like a dream now! I think the Dyna's will hold their value.
I just got a 2011 street bob fxdb a few days ago for $4200. It’s got 42,000 miles. But a lot has been done to it. Reaper cams, stealth exhaust, legends rear and upgraded fork springs+triple trees up front, tbars, etc. Its also got a bunch of other stuff. It’s basically built as a “dyna bro” bike. My buddies keep telling me I over payed because of the mileage but I think I got a good deal. Just curious for your guy’s opinion.
I don't think you got ripped off at all. Those upgrades are worth a ton - not to mention the cost of installing them (if you are not mechanically inclined). Here in CA, a bike like that sells for 14K EASY.
I picked one up for 6,500 with the screaming eagle engine and Mikuni carb it had less than 17,000 miles but it didn't run didn't need much time to get it running but I got it running and it has over a hundred horsepower on the dyno. I've been looking for over a year for a similar deal because I want another but can't find anything close for under 10,000.
Also John, make sure the cam chain tensioner is good...after 20 thou miles it'll fail if you didn't know that already...s&s cam plate is one of the best mone u can buy along with the gear drive setup...that thing will wheelie all day with that stuff....its expensive but it'll last the life of the bike...
Got a 99 Dyna FXDL a month ago with 17k miles on it a couple of upgrades (Bassani Exhaust, SS Super, etc) but mostly stock for $4.5k. Bike is in good shape, Sent it into the shop after for a full inspection and replace some of the aged parts (break pads, tires etc.) which cost me another $2.2k
Paid $3000 for my 97 Evo fxd dyna with 38k on the clock in very nice condition. Came with leather bags, windscreen and Vance &Hines long shot pipes.Its a keeper.
Harleys are a sweet addiction. Got 25k wrapped up in a Roadster, another 30K in a sport glide. My 11th and 12th . Love my bikes. Riding 40 years. Nothing beats the sun on your face , wind in your hair the roar of a Harley. Freedom represented in a motorcycle. 💯🇺🇸💪
I just bought the 2001 FDX with screaming eagle stage 1 for 20k miles for 2500 bucks. But it has sat in a garage for 3 years because the owner passed away. I bought it from his wife. I can’t wait turn this machine into my own, I loved your video bro. Do more please
I just paid $3500 for a one owner 2005 FXDX with 40k miles. It’s had some work done to the engine and came with extras. Meticulously cared for. Its super minty. Flying to MD next week and riding it back to TN. 🤙🏻
If I'm at a stand still and can't get the bike to go in neutral, I just give the throttle a lil rev and while it's revving, I try and pop it in neutral. Maybe that'll help.
Jon. Not sure how well it would play in your bike because of the harder riding style you have. My FLH had a hard clutch especially when cold. I did some research and found a lot of Harley riders use transmission fluid in their primaries. I took the plunge and switched from the HD primary oil to Type F trans fluid. It made a massive difference in the clutch actuation. As of yet no slipping or negative behavior. Could be worth looking into other fluid options.
Barnett recommends different ATF for different desired clutch behaviors. Bike clutches are quite like automatic transmission clutch packs (and some aftermarket performance clutches use car parts, it making no sense to invest in an oddball fiber and steel plate production).
Yeah I got an 07 fxdb streetbob for that had goldfire pull back risers, Memphis Shades fairing, saddle man seat, chain conversion, piggy back suspension, engine and air intake upgrades, fresh paint job....etc with 60k miles on it for 6k. But I'm in Florida, not Cali so... big difference! 😂
Hey Jon. I’m 5’8” and I find the perfect riser and bar setup is 4.5” pull back risers with biltwell tracker high bend bars. Gives me the perfect “dirt bike” like position that I love. Just thought I’d put that out there as you said you were going to switch up the risers
98 Dyna FXD with 10k miles, no add ons, mostly stock, I paid 4 grand two years ago. Now I got the whole dyna bro look for way less than 6500. Guess I need to take my bike to the coast and sell it.
I’d say you got that bike for a great price!, I got my FXD dyna 2009 model pretty much stock for 6500 and it’s taken a solid chunk of change to get it where I want.
When at stop, and wanting neutral, I pull in clutch and wiggle bike forward and backwards as I gently lift the gear lever with foot. It usually falls in easily, even on stubborn bikes.. I got my Dyna, totally stock, then dropped over $9k so far.. As long as your taking care of priorities, be good to yourself. If you make the bike what you want, it takes money and time. Everyone has their own vision, so you usually dont get all your investment back..
I guess I did better on my bike then I thought if a 20 year old dyna is worth 9k . I paid 10k for my 2015 dyna low rider with the 103 twin cam. Had 15k miles on it and had a stage one done with Vance and hines 2 into 1 pro pipe, big sucker air cleaner , and fuel pack. It also came with the day maker headlight and led blinker upgrade lights. Now I’ve added probably another 3k on my own doing suspension and risers and bars and such. But I’m Happy to know I gotta a good price and I bought mine from a Harley dealer. Awesome channel John. Enjoy your vids bud.
We paid $4500 3 yrs ago for same exact bike for my girlfriend, minus the upgrades and hers had about 18k in miles, market must be a lot higher out there. She loved the color and it’s a good size for her. Hers had some engine upgrades, cam, exhaust and tune. I love earlier Dyna’s I had a 94 low rider.
You got a good bike whatever you paid for it doesnt matter as long as your happy with the purchase, be sure to have the cam chain tensioners checked they are probably worn
I have a v max there is a kit I put on mine that can put the boost on at 3000 Rpm or you can lock it on or off . Keep off for just cruising for mpg always on for playing.kit was like 40 dollars and about an hour to install. Best mod I ever did on mine.
Im gonna go out on a limb here and say it might be time for a new pair of gloves soon brotha. I've been staring at those holes for quite a few videos now lol
Maybe I just ride too much but my shit always has at least a few holes man. Even brand new ones don’t last more than a week or two from pulling over and tinkering with stuff from time to time & accidentally touching hot parts on the bike in the process. Just happens lol. I didn’t realize it irked people thought it just came with the territory kinda
I still love my 2000 super glide, I know it's not a ElectraGlide Limited Low or anything of that nature. But for day rides it is still my favorite of my bikes.
Good buy bud. Over here in New Zealand youd probably pay round $12000 $13000 NZ dollars for that set up. As for registration if the bikes over 600cc regos are $580.00 per year
My dyna was doing the same thing going to neutral, after adjusting the primary chain to spec it fixed that problem, easily goes into neutral when stopped.
So many extras you did good John. Upgrades alone were a couple grand, and not much traveling and /or shipping. Good deal for sure. Everything is so dam expensive today when buying parts
Hey Jon, i wanted to suggest something about your finding neutral issue. I have the same exact bike. I had the same problem. Take all of the slack out of the clutch cable. When the bike gets hot it will have a little more slack as well. Obviously not so much slack that clutch is being disengaged, but basically 0mm of freeplay. Giving the engine a slight rev will also help just like any other bike.
Has the cam chain tensioner issue been fixed this motorcycle. I have a 2004 Heritage Classic with the 88. I replaced the cam chain tensioner with the Harley Kit which includes the Hydraulic cam chain tensioners and improved oil pump. I also had a oil cooler installed.
Some of these prices for bikes are out of hand, yes all the upgrades are a plus. The FXR ,FXDX, and T, I don’t think I’d pay $9k for a bike that old. I paid $4500 for my FXR. That’s what the should go for. Nice bike enjoy
What you pay for a particular bike is always subjective.I just paid $20,000 for an 88 model evo softail and I am very happy with it but if you don't know my motivations for buying this bike you might think that I was ripped off. After 15 min of explaining upgrades condition and importantly history of the bike the value becomes much more personalized .
I have the same bike (1999) 40k miles and I paid $4200 for it. I will say it doesn't have near the upgrades that you have on yours. I started upgrading mine and currently getting prices for more upgrades. Given all the upgrades I think you made out pretty good. It's an awesome bike.
If you were in it for drifting, which one would you drift? I’m aware you don’t have any experience doing that on the Superglide Sport, but what would you say is better? Now how about riding overall? Which one rides smoother? Which one rides like a “Harley” lol? The street bob or the superglide sport?
The neutral thing is more common than not. My 05 dyna, 08 dyna, and 05 softail wouldn't go into neutral at a stop unless i blipped the throttle and flicked neutral right as i let off the throttle. I just got in the habit if nuetral before I stopped moving
Love that bike man...put amsoil transmission gear oil for harleys in the trans john and that should help you get neutral easier, also eliminate that huge clunk sound when shifting to first gear ....i run amsoil in all 3 places on my road king. Thats great oil man....20/50 in the motor, they have their own primary fluid, as well as transmission gear oil....
I paid $6500 for my 08 FXDL, with 10k miles. Only upgrade at the time was exhaust and a power commander. Thought shoot, under $10k for a dyna Lowrider with lowerish miles. Imma snag that! My Honda CB1000R I just picked up. Paid $2500 for that, full Yoshimura exhaust and little higher miles at 23k and some change.
Rego for my 2011 streetbob in Australia is $50 for road worthy every year and $600 for green slip and $400 for the taxes and fee at the roads we get ripped in Australia
That British Crown needs to be paid. You guys in Australia ever going to declare independence and kick out British Petroleum and cut that umbilical cord with England?
Robert Polkamp I wish we need big change hire it’s stupid we have no legal leg to stand on the government pushing in new stupid laws all the time and the minority rule half the country is in complete log down people are killing them selfs at a larger rate then the virus in one state alone
Good buy John, fair price man...im sorry i didn't watch the hole video before ecommentimg on the cam chain...with 52 thou, thats probly already done and upgraded, at least i hope so.....if you want to please id like to know what was installed if you can find out....theres a few companies that make the cam plates....s&s and fuelings probly the best
I don't think the cafe fairing looks right with the relocated gages. . I think I a tsport would be alot nicer, it even has the round spots for those exact gages.
I've got my bike appraised and insured full coverage for 15.0000. That's not exactly what my bike is worth now but as I continue to go in the direction I'm going it will. I understand what you're saying. I think you got a good deal. It's took in some money and time to get my bike where is now.
I paid 2k for aa 97 EVO FXDS-Conv 13k miles, needed battery tank clean petcock replaced throttle cables replaced and fluids. Then im GIVEN an 09 Fat Bob, actually paid me $100 to get it outta his backyard! Sold it for 5k and then upgraded the EVO bike! We should ride sometime! I can tell u all there is to know about a FXDX
I paid 4500 for my bone stock 02 lowrider with 29k miles. 1 old man owner unmolested bike that had just had new drive belt installed and fluids gone through. I think I did ok.
I can appreciate you saying your 2013 Street Bob is a little bit intimidating. I'm a new Rider I've been riding my little Rebel 300 All Summer Long. I do want to keep more of the light weight bobber side but something with more balls
Yeah, I reckon you got a good buy so you should be able to flip it for a fair and reasonable price and maybe buy some safety gear, maybe a jacket and some new gloves seeing you like riding on the back wheel so much, good vid!
How much would a Dyna FXDX Sport 2003 cost in the US, it was the one they sold for the 100 anniversary of HD. The owner put a lot of upgrades, it runs as fast as 120 mph or 195 km/h, the look is still very original. He told me he invested over 6000 Euros and more into this bike. It has 35000 on the clock. But he said because the engine was rebuild it is less mileage/ km. I also think the bikes like HD cost much more in Europe than the US, and after the pandemic everything has gone up, that’s a fact. Let me know your comments please, or advise. Thx BTW he wants €10k, is it worth it, but in a snuper mint condition. He really looked after it, looks like brand new, and then all the upgrades and he also got it serviced and the recent MOT or TÜV for 2 years. As some of you might already guessed the bike is for sell in Germany 😊
Ripped off? Haha, best joke ever. Come to Norway, the fxdx starts at $10,500 stock with 37k miles. I would call your price a bargain. Im looking at one now, 00 fxdx with some engine upgrades, 2-1 exhaust, fairing and tbars 40k miles - It costs $16k
Hello my fellow Dyna rider, wow,you paid alot for that bike my friend but it's very nice at that. To me it's worth about 7500.. As you said very close and easy to get. Those facts make the 1500 difference look small...love the color too..peace always Chuck
Bought my 01 DX for $6500 with 10k miles. You definitely paid wayyyy too much. I can understand that price with all the upgrades if it had 20k or lower, but damn dude, 55k miles is A LOT. Labor cost shouldn't factor into the purchase at all IMO. Mine came with paint matched rifle fairing that's $600 alone, 2 different seats, powder-coated odds and ends, stage 1 upgrade, and misc. parts from Harley like blacked-out mirrors, levers, etc, and not 1 scratch or dent, it is absolutely a mint bike. Guy I bought it from saved all the original parts in a box, and had every service done to it with a logbook and receipts. I put a 2-1 pipe on it myself for $400. I found one for $9500 that had a 96" with cams, custom paint job, 2-1, Saddlemen, bars & risers, T sport fairing, progressive suspension, and just about everything you'd want with 35k miles. I know they are hard to find, but the FB forums always have 1 or 2 for sale and they are much more realistically priced since all the guys know what it is. For that 9k, I would have bought an FXRT.
Damn people want a lot for these bikes. I bought. 2001 fxdxt concord purple for $2,380 12,xxx og miles on it! They wanted $2800 for it originally. I’ve been looking at picking up another but not gonna pay over $5k there’s deals out there.
Seems the seller brought the emotional component to the table as soon as he showed all upgrades/receipts. Those items might not make a bike appreciate. Why? They might not fit your needs. I was thinking the price was going to be in the mid to high $6k. I like the color, BTW.
Wow I wish I can find one for the price you said I got 7700 right now to spend and I can’t find nothing that’s even close to this I wish I could though everyone keeps telling me you can find the bikes for this price but I can’t
I live in north ga and no longer feel bad about 8k for my 98 road king with 53k on it, and I used to live in Phoenix glad I didn't buy until coming out here....
You gotta rock on the bike to move the wheel back and forth and it will usually shift right if you make the wheel move a bit thats how my 04 is, hard to find neutral and or 1st or 2nd but seems to clear up
If you are happy you didn’t get ripped off. 5 months ago I bought a mint condition all stock 2009 Fat Bob in Pearl Black with new battery, rubber, fresh servicing and only 6100 miles for $4300. I truly found one of those deals of a lifetime.
If it's want you want, then in your mind you got a good deal & that's what matters. I bought a 2000 Heritage in 2007 on e-bay. The buy it now price was $13k, I ended up being the high bidder @ $11.4. When the bidding was over I called the owner to see if he would sell it to me for the $11.4K. He said no & that because of all the extras he put into the bike he would not let it go for less than the $13k buy it now price. (Vance & Hines Big Radius pipes, 525 cams, Harley custom Low Seat, custom windshield, stroked it out to a 95 cu. in., etc., etc.) Well I wanted that Heritage & so I said WTH just buy it! I did pay the additional $1.6k for a total price of $13k. It was worth every dime of $13k. I still have it & I like it every bit as much today as I did the day I picked it up 14 years ago. Did I get ripped off? Hell no!! It's a beautiful Harley that runs like a top & I couldn't be happier with it even after 14 years!! It still looks showroom new with 48k miles on it. I also have a 2008 Dyna FXDL, 105th Anniversary Edition (number 0455 of 2000) that I really like but my 21 year old Heritage is my favorite of the two. You didn't get ripped off!!
When you want a particular bike and you finally find one, book values go out the window.
Exactly. Especially if you aren't gonna be broke over it
Tru that

Temkin main crank bearings also make the crank bulletproof. Another reason the earlier twin cam motors are good...
Upgrades, close to home, bike you want… solid deal. I paid 9500 for a 2001 FXDXT with the upgrades and drove 4 hours to get. Made sense to me.
I picked one up for 6,500 with the screaming eagle engine and Mikuni carb it had less than 17,000 miles but it didn't run didn't need much time to get it running but I got it running and it has over a hundred horsepower on the dyno.

I know you said the Newer dyna’s are bigger but the pictures don’t do it justice. Would you ever do a comparison video?
If I'm at a stand still and can't get the bike to go in neutral, I just give the throttle a lil rev and while it's revving, I try and pop it in neutral. Maybe that'll help.
Have you tried revving the engine a lil bit to help it slip into nuetral

Bought anFXDX new in 2000 and enjoyed it quite a bit. You paid a fair price and got a clean , modded Dyna.

Got an 03 super glide for $5400 at the Harley dealership with 17k miles and it's stage 2. I love this bike.
Hey Jon. I’m 5’8” and I find the perfect riser and bar setup is 4.5” pull back risers with biltwell tracker high bend bars. Gives me the perfect “dirt bike” like position that I love. Just thought I’d put that out there as you said you were going to switch up the risers

I still love my 2000 super glide, I know it's not a ElectraGlide Limited Low or anything of that nature. But for day rides it is still my favorite of my bikes.
Im getting my 2006 dyna lowrider today for $5600 bone stock now im going to spend a lil on my handlebars and rotors first then seat
Is that the original TC 88 , any upgrades in the cam chest ? Nice ride !
Good buy bud. Over here in New Zealand youd probably pay round $12000 $13000 NZ dollars for that set up. As for registration if the bikes over 600cc regos are $580.00 per year
My dyna was doing the same thing going to neutral, after adjusting the primary chain to spec it fixed that problem, easily goes into neutral when stopped.
You got lucky man because that's never fixed any fxdx I've ever owned
also check the inside of the tank for rust
So many extras you did good John. Upgrades alone were a couple grand, and not much traveling and /or shipping. Good deal for sure. Everything is so dam expensive today when buying parts
Need to adjust the primary chain and it should go into neutral easier. At least that's how it goes with my Sportster
Hey Jon, i wanted to suggest something about your finding neutral issue. I have the same exact bike. I had the same problem. Take all of the slack out of the clutch cable. When the bike gets hot it will have a little more slack as well. Obviously not so much slack that clutch is being disengaged, but basically 0mm of freeplay. Giving the engine a slight rev will also help just like any other bike.
damn i just got a 2010 dyna streetbob for 3k. 25k miles ive ridden it over 100 miles so far no issues. Def the best bike ive bought
Has the cam chain tensioner issue been fixed this motorcycle. I have a 2004 Heritage Classic with the 88. I replaced the cam chain tensioner with the Harley Kit which includes the Hydraulic cam chain tensioners and improved oil pump. I also had a oil cooler installed.
are those batteries for the Dyna non-serviceable ? (can you add water to the cells ?)
I was thinking $6500ish. Damn $9k is a lot haha. But at the same time it’s worth it. It’s purple after all 😉
Some of these prices for bikes are out of hand, yes all the upgrades are a plus. The FXR ,FXDX, and T, I don’t think I’d pay $9k for a bike that old. I paid $4500 for my FXR. That’s what the should go for. Nice bike enjoy
shiiiiet my 98 FXDL was only 4K
What you pay for a particular bike is always subjective.I just paid $20,000 for an 88 model evo softail and I am very happy with it but if you don't know my motivations for buying this bike you might think that I was ripped off. After 15 min of explaining upgrades condition and importantly history of the bike the value becomes much more personalized .
I have the same bike (1999) 40k miles and I paid $4200 for it. I will say it doesn't have near the upgrades that you have on yours. I started upgrading mine and currently getting prices for more upgrades. Given all the upgrades I think you made out pretty good. It's an awesome bike.
I have a 2000 fatboy and getting into neutral is also tricky have to be rolling the bike back and forth and still sometimes not always easy
Go easy on the wheelies. Sometimes the front mounts break off of the crankcases.
If you were in it for drifting, which one would you drift? I’m aware you don’t have any experience doing that on the Superglide Sport, but what would you say is better?
Now how about riding overall? Which one rides smoother? Which one rides like a “Harley” lol? The street bob or the superglide sport?
dude the registration on my 2005 klr650 in ga is 13$ a year ins is $113
Aye does anyone know where you Cld get that tank bib?? For some reason half of mine is all faded and the other side is shiny so I wanna replace it.
Recently picked up a 2011 FXDWG w/ 25k on the odometer, has Arlen Ness 2-1. Let's just say, I had to buy it for the price.
The neutral thing is more common than not. My 05 dyna, 08 dyna, and 05 softail wouldn't go into neutral at a stop unless i blipped the throttle and flicked neutral right as i let off the throttle. I just got in the habit if nuetral before I stopped moving
I think the price is fair for what’s done to the bike. Love that purple
Having a hard time finding neutral, you made need a new compensator or a clutch adjustment.
You made a good deal and don't worry about the miles, the motor is good for 3 or 4 hundred thousand if you keep up on the maintenance ...
I’m sorry but did you just say 3 or 4 hundred thousand miles ….😳, fake news ….
I have the same one bought new in 2000 neutral is and stays a problem to find
Love that bike man...put amsoil transmission gear oil for harleys in the trans john and that should help you get neutral easier, also eliminate that huge clunk sound when shifting to first gear ....i run amsoil in all 3 places on my road king. Thats great oil man....20/50 in the motor, they have their own primary fluid, as well as transmission gear oil....
Hey Jon what length risers did this bike come with?
Came with 10" but I ended up throwing 6.5" cause I'm shorter.
I paid $6500 for my 08 FXDL, with 10k miles. Only upgrade at the time was exhaust and a power commander. Thought shoot, under $10k for a dyna Lowrider with lowerish miles. Imma snag that! My Honda CB1000R I just picked up. Paid $2500 for that, full Yoshimura exhaust and little higher miles at 23k and some change.
Rego for my 2011 streetbob in Australia is $50 for road worthy every year and $600 for green slip and $400 for the taxes and fee at the roads we get ripped in Australia
That British Crown needs to be paid. You guys in Australia ever going to declare independence and kick out British Petroleum and cut that umbilical cord with England?
Robert Polkamp I wish we need big change hire it’s stupid we have no legal leg to stand on the government pushing in new stupid laws all the time and the minority rule half the country is in complete log down people are killing them selfs at a larger rate then the virus in one state alone
Good buy John, fair price man...im sorry i didn't watch the hole video before ecommentimg on the cam chain...with 52 thou, thats probly already done and upgraded, at least i hope so.....if you want to please id like to know what was installed if you can find out....theres a few companies that make the cam plates....s&s and fuelings probly the best
I don't think the cafe fairing looks right with the relocated gages. . I think I a tsport would be alot nicer, it even has the round spots for those exact gages.
what length rear shocks and handlebar riser is that?
I've got my bike appraised and insured full coverage for 15.0000. That's not exactly what my bike is worth now but as I continue to go in the direction I'm going it will. I understand what you're saying. I think you got a good deal. It's took in some money and time to get my bike where is now.
I had that same problem when I first got my fxdl 2002 it was hard to put it in to neutral but you will get use to it bro !
I paid 2k for aa 97 EVO FXDS-Conv 13k miles, needed battery tank clean petcock replaced throttle cables replaced and fluids.
Then im GIVEN an 09 Fat Bob, actually paid me $100 to get it outta his backyard! Sold it for 5k and then upgraded the EVO bike!
We should ride sometime!
I can tell u all there is to know about a FXDX
I have one im looking at its a 2000 as well for 8,500. Is this carb or fuel?
I paid 4500 for my bone stock 02 lowrider with 29k miles. 1 old man owner unmolested bike that had just had new drive belt installed and fluids gone through. I think I did ok.
I can appreciate you saying your 2013 Street Bob is a little bit intimidating. I'm a new Rider I've been riding my little Rebel 300 All Summer Long. I do want to keep more of the light weight bobber side but something with more balls
I need a starter bike for my daughter interested in selling the rebel
I think you did good for the money 💰 the seller put into it,it’s almost completely ready for the kind of riding you want it for.
Yeah, I reckon you got a good buy so you should be able to flip it for a fair and reasonable price and maybe buy some safety gear, maybe a jacket and some new gloves seeing you like riding on the back wheel so much, good vid!
😅
You got a fair deal on a really nice bike. Congrats on the FXDX!
20 year old bike for $9000? You can buy a brand new Softail for $14,000. I am avoiding touching any Twin Cam 88. was 2000 still Evo?
How much would a Dyna FXDX Sport 2003 cost in the US, it was the one they sold for the 100 anniversary of HD. The owner put a lot of upgrades, it runs as fast as 120 mph or 195 km/h, the look is still very original. He told me he invested over 6000 Euros and more into this bike. It has 35000 on the clock. But he said because the engine was rebuild it is less mileage/ km. I also think the bikes like HD cost much more in Europe than the US, and after the pandemic everything has gone up, that’s a fact. Let me know your comments please, or advise. Thx BTW he wants €10k, is it worth it, but in a snuper mint condition. He really looked after it, looks like brand new, and then all the upgrades and he also got it serviced and the recent MOT or TÜV for 2 years. As some of you might already guessed the bike is for sell in Germany 😊
Oh and in 2018 I gave $3000 for mine, chromed out but zero upgrades to runabilty or comfort.
Jon your a beast,,very athletic dude,u picked up wheeling and drifting,like a pro,,very quick
Hey John, do you still have this bike? I’m considering buying an 93 FXR but I’m worried it won’t last the years I want with it
Still got it.
@@JonsMotoGarage runs?
@@JamesLizama.actual was running solid until I let it sit for too long. Needs battery and carbs cleaned at this point. But otherwise, no issues.
That fxdx is sweet, and the upgrades 👌🏻
Thank you and thank you for your support with our merch!!
Jon's Moto Garage 👍🏼 Anytime! You guys are awesome, keep doing what you are doing.
Ripped off? Haha, best joke ever. Come to Norway, the fxdx starts at $10,500 stock with 37k miles. I would call your price a bargain. Im looking at one now, 00 fxdx with some engine upgrades, 2-1 exhaust, fairing and tbars 40k miles - It costs $16k
Hello my fellow Dyna rider, wow,you paid alot for that bike my friend but it's very nice at that. To me it's worth about 7500.. As you said very close and easy to get. Those facts make the 1500 difference look small...love the color too..peace always Chuck
Bought my 01 DX for $6500 with 10k miles. You definitely paid wayyyy too much. I can understand that price with all the upgrades if it had 20k or lower, but damn dude, 55k miles is A LOT. Labor cost shouldn't factor into the purchase at all IMO. Mine came with paint matched rifle fairing that's $600 alone, 2 different seats, powder-coated odds and ends, stage 1 upgrade, and misc. parts from Harley like blacked-out mirrors, levers, etc, and not 1 scratch or dent, it is absolutely a mint bike. Guy I bought it from saved all the original parts in a box, and had every service done to it with a logbook and receipts. I put a 2-1 pipe on it myself for $400. I found one for $9500 that had a 96" with cams, custom paint job, 2-1, Saddlemen, bars & risers, T sport fairing, progressive suspension, and just about everything you'd want with 35k miles. I know they are hard to find, but the FB forums always have 1 or 2 for sale and they are much more realistically priced since all the guys know what it is. For that 9k, I would have bought an FXRT.
Question...how tall are you? Wanna ride a HD dyna as well but i'm Dutch and im 6.13 feet...
I live in AZ, back in May I bought a 2005 FXST with 1400 original miles for 5500.00 from a Mesa car dealer. in showroom condition .
That's so cool
I think it's a beautiful bike I've got a wide glide and I'm going to either buy a fxdx or an old fxr for something to have some fun on!
Damn people want a lot for these bikes. I bought. 2001 fxdxt concord purple for $2,380 12,xxx og miles on it! They wanted $2800 for it originally. I’ve been looking at picking up another but not gonna pay over $5k there’s deals out there.
Seems the seller brought the emotional component to the table as soon as he showed all upgrades/receipts. Those items might not make a bike appreciate. Why? They might not fit your needs. I was thinking the price was going to be in the mid to high $6k. I like the color, BTW.
Wow I wish I can find one for the price you said I got 7700 right now to spend and I can’t find nothing that’s even close to this I wish I could though everyone keeps telling me you can find the bikes for this price but I can’t
I can’t believe the price difference from Tennessee to Arizona. It’s crazy but hey get what you want. I love it
I live in north ga and no longer feel bad about 8k for my 98 road king with 53k on it, and I used to live in Phoenix glad I didn't buy until coming out here....
Got my 01-01 fxd two years ago itd been sitting in a barn for 10 years. Paid 5 grand. Had less than 40,000
$61 for 1 yr in the USA!?! Thats crazy. Here in Australia we are paying almost $400 Australian dollars for 1 yr. Thats around $250 US dollars.
You gotta rock on the bike to move the wheel back and forth and it will usually shift right if you make the wheel move a bit thats how my 04 is, hard to find neutral and or 1st or 2nd but seems to clear up
Fueling Parts kit?
Adjust the clutch throw out and the cable. When it drags neutral can be a bitch to find. J
Kruesi Originals "K-bars" only $ 280 and they're right there in Phoenix !
Hey carnal, como estás...just wondering what your thoughts are on the Laidlaw coast glide... take care
If i could afford that bike and it was for sale, God damn! Sorry for swearing!
I had trouble getting my bike into neutral, but after an oil change it shifted perfectly! Don’t know about your dyna but it is something to consider.
If you are happy you didn’t get ripped off. 5 months ago I bought a mint condition all stock 2009 Fat Bob in Pearl Black with new battery, rubber, fresh servicing and only 6100 miles for $4300. I truly found one of those deals of a lifetime.
That is a unicorn!
If it's want you want, then in your mind you got a good deal & that's what matters.
I bought a 2000 Heritage in 2007 on e-bay. The buy it now price was $13k, I ended up being the high bidder @ $11.4. When the bidding was over I called the owner to see if he would sell it to me for the $11.4K. He said no & that because of all the extras he put into the bike he would not let it go for less than the $13k buy it now price. (Vance & Hines Big Radius pipes, 525 cams, Harley custom Low Seat, custom windshield, stroked it out to a 95 cu. in., etc., etc.)
Well I wanted that Heritage & so I said WTH just buy it!
I did pay the additional $1.6k for a total price of $13k. It was worth every dime of $13k. I still have it & I like it every bit as much today as I did the day I picked it up 14 years ago.
Did I get ripped off? Hell no!! It's a beautiful Harley that runs like a top & I couldn't be happier with it even after 14 years!! It still looks showroom new with 48k miles on it.
I also have a 2008 Dyna FXDL, 105th Anniversary Edition (number 0455 of 2000) that I really like but my 21 year old Heritage is my favorite of the two. You didn't get ripped off!!
