How much $$$? How many miles? I love those old tubers! Got a '99  Thunderbolt!

Check out motor mounts! Lot more critical on Buells than other HDs. Ask about work done to it. Buell people are as bad as or worse than HD people for "upgrading". 1 thing to keep in mind is they came with plastic(?)  oil pump gear that fail. Replacement is a bronze gear. While Buell has been shut down there is a loyal following and aftermarket parts are still availible.

If you are happy with it it is a good price for it. Welcome to the club/clique/obsession group! Buells are loads of fun! Plus the people who ride them are pretty close---like Harley riders used to be before everyone and their aunt got 1!

Did you check out BadWeatherBuells yet?
