Hey Ronny, I was going after that bike on Friday. When I called the guy said I just missed it. It looked nice in the pictures. Almost the same mileage on my '01 when I got it in 2009.

Well....if you start a BUDDY BOBBER BUILD and keep track of what you are doing in the same thread......it could be posted in the Bike Build section after you get the thread going and the bikes beyond the "parts" stage.

Dual builds sounds like fun. Always good to bounce ideas off someone else. Great deals on the bikes!
