Question about a SG

3867 Views 57 Replies 23 Participants Last post by  captainhook455
So I am going to go look at a black 01 SG with 34k for $6,000. It was more, but he came down. The radio was upgraded. It has a 2 into 1, an aftermarket seat(?) The rear is lowered 2" , but some 12's would fix that. Is that a good price? The bike is in good condition with 200 miles on the tires. Plus it is black.

Maybe he's just bored and finding out who knows what model came when.

I just started this harley thing 6 years ago. Ask me about a Goldwing. I could tell you alot about those.

My father's last bike was a Goldwing. I think it was an Interstate model. He quit riding at the request of my mother when he was 68, maybe 1993. His memory was fading so it's probably a good thing he hung it up when he did. I've logged more miles on two wheels in my life than Dad but I hope I'm able to ride 8 more years. Just in case he's watchin' me.

I'm not so sure a fading memory and a bike wouldn't be a bad combination. Just think of the fun you could have and maintain plausible deniability.

I don't see too may Wings around here but the few I have seen remind me of George Jetson's car. They have a quiet putt putt putt about them that gives me an uneasy vibe.

An Interstate was better with a mechanical speedo. If it fell over it was so expensive to fix. I do miss the gear indicator, it was a fine rider.

Or I could tell about the time I dumped my wife in a large rosebush lol.
Well, one thing is for sure, if you want an opinion on what to do you've come to the right place. There are plenty of them here.
BTW, having two bikes is a good thing, especially when you have friends all over the country that fly in and visit. There's always a spare bike for someone to ride.
Besides, it's all about the toys.
Nice looking bike. Not quite what I am picturing for the next one, but I'd consider it.
That bike may have cooties!!#@SasF#
I'm pretty sure Cap'n wants a bagger.

I'm just here for the beer.
I just want some hard bags instead of the fugly leather ones. There is an old thread for everything here and I saw where one of the vendors had it all in one price. Norm sent me some links for real cruise control. These would be cheap fixes for the riding that I do.
Well, the hard bags are nice, they seal well and there's next to no upkeep compared to leather. I'm confused though - is this bike you're looking at a super Glide or something else?
You can put hard bags on a softail without much problem, fairing too. I run them on my Fatboy off an old shovelhead Electra-glide I once owned without much work at all. Can't help with the cruise control, never owned a bike with it, hardly ever use it on my car or truck.

I use it in my truck to avoid speeding tickets.

As I do also and it helps, avoid that creep up 5 more mph and then another . Comes in handy on a 900-1000 mile day.
