I'm stressed, but in a good way. I've pretty well narrowed my search down to 3 glides, with a target purchase date of 3 April. Seriously, I need some guidance here. These 3 Glides are in the same neighborhood pricewise and are all in immaculate condition:
1. 2008, stock with 5,700 miles. The only option I can see is the chrome windshield trim.
2. 2005, 5,400 miles. Stage 2 (or 3?) upgrade to Screaming Eagle 95", gear driven cam, CNC ported heads, upgraded fuel injection, Screaming Eagle Racing Tuner, upgraded AC, 2-1 Vance&Hines exhaust, chromed forks, 80 spoke 18" wheels front & rear with new tires (smaller on front, meatier on back), polished brakes, braided cables, chrome handlebar controls, handlebar radio/CD controls, driver and passenger backrests, upgraded rear lights, lowered 1", 3 windshields, highway pegs and probably a few things I can't remember, estimated 100 hp. Oh, and a cover.
3. 2005, 950 miles, stage 1 (Reinhart slip-ons), reach seat, passenger backrest, highway pegs, quick detach matching tour pak, matching painted helmets (2), cover.
What is the conventional wisdom here? The 2008 with 1 more gallon and 1 more gear? The Hot Rod? The NOS? Help!
