im doing your cds tommorrow,
Not really
FLHR - Electra Glide
FLSTF - Softail
These two are very different bikes! (for Harleys...)
What age/budget are you looking at; Evo's or Twin Cam's..?
I'd go for the FLHR out of those two
Nope not quite correct
FLHR = Road King
FLHT = Electra Glide
FLSTF = Fatboy
FL is tourer style so 16 inch wheels and likely to have running boards etc
FX is a cruiser so likely to have 19 or 21 in front wheel may have raked frame etc
ST denotes Soft Tail
It all makes sense if you study it long and hard enough
How many motorcycle spec books have you 'devoured' over the years?
Trumpet, Hardley and BMW......any more?
Took me all of 5 mins to link your bike forums personas......though I think PtB has a better ring to it.
Hope you are well
GSA is going very well indeed.

Apologies for being pedantic, but a Road King (FLHR) is an Electra Glide - it's the FLH bit that tells you that...
All the FL bikes are from the same basic 'Family' (called 'Touring').
All the Softails are another 'Family'.
All the Dyna's... etc. etc. etc.
Went down to Riders in Bridgewater today, nice place & some nice bikes. A good hearted salesman offered me £5800 for the RT against a 34k ml 1998 Road King he had literally just taken in PX.
It was good to see before it had been through the workshops but boy was it a rough one! looked as if it had been ridden all through the winter then parked in the sea...
He valued the RK at 7995 when all done, that basically meant 2k to change.
I think not.....

Good Call...
The flippin' 'Dealers' are just that... ready to make money out of you
I'd live on your wits and find one yourself... Sell the BMW on here, look for a Harley in the usual places...
No way would I buy a s/h HD from a Dealer!
Anything on here worth a punt?

Anyone know of these guys/bought one from them? They all look fairly clean and keenly priced.
I like the look of the 10k Softail Deluxe, and the 11k Road King Custom....
I think i might wait till the winter sets in and money gets tight! Will i get a decent early Road King for less than 5k?

With the economic situation going the way it's going, I'd say you have every chance
Also, as I've said before, an FLHR is a good choice of bike.
I can see how you made the mistake and accept your apology
That's very gracious of me

I know what youre saying but to be honest 5800 is not a bad price for the RT.
In all honesty i would be happy if I got 6k for the RT, and i think in some cases having a p/x is a good thing when buying.
As i've said, i would like to keep the RT if poss but its not looking likely.....
