G'day guys,

literally just joined the group. Haven't got a Harley at the moment, but planning on buying shortly if things go the right way.
Looking at getting something older 80's/90's.....just waiting to see what pops up. Currently have a couple of other bikes - GSX1400 and an old 84 model XV1000 (YamaHarley). Love 'em both....great bikes in their own way.

Used to have an 09 Deluxe which I loved, but sold that to buy an old car. In any case.....thought I'd better start checking forums for advice and opinions, so here I am - pre-empting my purchase.

Regards,

Peter

Thanks,

I have an old magazine from years back that had a "Readers Rides" section, and there was a bloke with a 1983 FXRS. I loved the look of it..….not too keen on a shovelhead though. Evo's seem to have a pretty good reputation, so might go that way. Mind you, I did see a 97 Dyna Convertible that had a really good stance on it, but a bit far away. And the colour is a little "bright".....Violet Pearl or something like that ?? Not sold on a specific bike yet, but have an idea what I'm after.

I’m only responsible for what I say, not for what you understand

2010 FATBOY, Vance & Hines 2 into 1 Big Radius, Screamin Eagle Super Tuner Pro, Screamin Eagle Heavy Breather, 2" Burleigh Roller Bars with a 10" Rise, Braided Cables, Combination Speedo & Tacho, Progressive RAP & with dreams of more to come

I just joined as well this is the first post I looked at and saw the pick of your old deluxe love the colours there the same as the one I’ve got that’s why I got mine happy hunting on your next one

G'day & welcome.  You picked a good time to get another Harley as it is a buyers market at the moment.  If you aren't familiar with shovelheads, I would recommend you stay with an Evo.  Super reliable and easy to play with, plus there are quite a few on the market at the moment at a good price.

Gday mate. Welcome and enjoy.

Gday Changa , bike shopn is half the fun & theres plenty of nice low ks jobs about ,lookn foward to seein what you end up with.

Hi Changa. Welcome to the forum. I was looking around for something a bit older, like myself, but after some major issues with a 2001 FLHRCi, decided to buy from a dealer and ended up with a V-Rod. Great bike if you don't want to travel too far. When I was searching, late model Fatboys (2010-12) were actually less expensive to buy than a 1980 or early 90 softail. So, I gave it away as a lost cause. Decided low K's and a dealer warranty were better than something that was almost certainly going to cost me down the track. Anyhow, good luck with the search and ride safe!
