A few years ago I paid $12 grand for a 2006 Cadillac CTS Sport Luxury model with 78K mile on it. That was probably about $1500 to 2 grand too much. My reasoning? The car was beautiful inside and out, with an amazing upgraded OEM paint job and new brakes, alternator, battery, and some other things as well. I felt that I would not find a gem like this one again. Driving it plastered a smile from ear to ear on my face. (The Sport has OEM performance suspension and is fairly rare, as well). Do I regret paying too much for the car? Hell no.

I bought a standard FXD (not sport) brand new in 2000... I still have it.. 25k miles on it! The FXD was the entry level big bore Harley at the time.. I paid $12k brand new with the cobalt blue paint

Got me an '04 FXDX for $6k... 3 months ago... in SoCal. 18k miles and mostly stock. No neutral issues. Starts up on first stab. Love the dual gauges up top. Blank slate for bolt ons and upgrades. Love it!

May wanna check the crank run out. Bought my 05’ for 7200 and eventually learned it had a bad crankshaft. Put a 1900 dollar crank in it including 1000 extra for bearings, gaskets, and so on. She runs like a CHAMP now but man it’s scary buying these 88’s. 🤣 (mines a 95 ci now)

This past week I bought a 2000 model FXDWG. It's super clean 22,000 miles, almost stock, with a Stage I, Vance&Hines, extra chrome, 3 different seats, 2 different sissy bars, luggage rack, stock take-off pipes, and a new tire and rim band in the box. $5000 here in Texas. When I got it home I pulled the Cam Chest cover and inspected the Cam chain tensioner shoes. Both inner and outer shoes have minor wear. I think I made a good deal.

Yeah you did well, it's bad-ass dyna with the upgrades you will always want. I am getting my 01 Dyna FXD to that point, but dropped 4k into it over the past year. But it rides and sounds like a dream now! I think the Dyna's will hold their value.

Upgrades, close to home, bike you want… solid deal. I paid 9500 for a 2001 FXDXT with the upgrades and drove 4 hours to get. Made sense to me.

I don't think you got ripped off at all. Those upgrades are worth a ton - not to mention the cost of installing them (if you are not mechanically inclined). Here in CA, a bike like that sells for 14K EASY.

Hey Jon. I’m 5’8” and I find the perfect riser and bar setup is 4.5” pull back risers with biltwell tracker high bend bars. Gives me the perfect “dirt bike” like position that I love. Just thought I’d put that out there as you said you were going to switch up the risers

Also John, make sure the cam chain tensioner is good...after 20 thou miles it'll fail if you didn't know that already...s&s cam plate is one of the best mone u can buy along with the gear drive setup...that thing will wheelie all day with that stuff....its expensive but it'll last the life of the bike...

Temkin main crank bearings also make the crank bulletproof. Another reason the earlier twin cam motors are good...

I just bought the 2001 FDX with screaming eagle stage 1 for 20k miles for 2500 bucks. But it has sat in a garage for 3 years because the owner passed away. I bought it from his wife. I can’t wait turn this machine into my own, I loved your video bro. Do more please

I just paid $3500 for a one owner 2005 FXDX with 40k miles. It’s had some work done to the engine and came with extras. Meticulously cared for. Its super minty. Flying to MD next week and riding it back to TN. 🤙🏻

Paid $3000 for my 97 Evo fxd dyna with 38k on the clock in very nice condition. Came with leather bags, windscreen and Vance &Hines long shot pipes.Its a keeper.

So many extras you did good John. Upgrades alone were a couple grand, and not much traveling and /or shipping. Good deal for sure. Everything is so dam expensive today when buying parts

I’d say you got that bike for a great price!, I got my FXD dyna 2009 model pretty much stock for 6500 and it’s taken a solid chunk of change to get it where I want.

98 Dyna FXD with 10k miles, no add ons, mostly stock, I paid 4 grand two years ago. Now I got the whole dyna bro look for way less than 6500. Guess I need to take my bike to the coast and sell it.

Some wheels and tires and brake combos can cost 4k.. You got the perfect bike to personalize.. The sky is the limit..

I have the same bike (1999) 40k miles and I paid $4200 for it. I will say it doesn't have near the upgrades that you have on yours. I started upgrading mine and currently getting prices for more upgrades. Given all the upgrades I think you made out pretty good. It's an awesome bike.

I know you said the Newer dyna’s are bigger but the pictures don’t do it justice. Would you ever do a comparison video?

I just got a 2011 street bob fxdb a few days ago for $4200. It’s got 42,000 miles. But a lot has been done to it. Reaper cams, stealth exhaust, legends rear and upgraded fork springs+triple trees up front, tbars, etc. Its also got a bunch of other stuff. It’s basically built as a “dyna bro” bike. My buddies keep telling me I over payed because of the mileage but I think I got a good deal. Just curious for your guy’s opinion.

I picked one up for 6,500 with the screaming eagle engine and Mikuni carb it had less than 17,000 miles but it didn't run didn't need much time to get it running but I got it running and it has over a hundred horsepower on the dyno. I've been looking for over a year for a similar deal because I want another but can't find anything close for under 10,000.

You got a good bike whatever you paid for it doesnt matter as long as your happy with the purchase, be sure to have the cam chain tensioners checked they are probably worn

Have you tried revving the engine a lil bit to help it slip into nuetral

You gotta rock on the bike to move the wheel back and forth and it will usually shift right if you make the wheel move a bit thats how my 04 is, hard to find neutral and or 1st or 2nd but seems to clear up

If I'm at a stand still and can't get the bike to go in neutral, I just give the throttle a lil rev and while it's revving, I try and pop it in neutral. Maybe that'll help.

Sweeeet bike Jon - congrats!!

I guess I did better on my bike then I thought if a 20 year old dyna is worth 9k . I paid 10k for my 2015 dyna low rider with the 103 twin cam. Had 15k miles on it and had a stage one done with Vance and hines 2 into 1 pro pipe, big sucker air cleaner , and fuel pack. It also came with the day maker headlight and led blinker upgrade lights. Now I’ve added probably another 3k on my own doing suspension and risers and bars and such. But I’m Happy to know I gotta a good price and I bought mine from a Harley dealer. Awesome channel John. Enjoy your vids bud.

Need to adjust the primary chain and it should go into neutral easier. At least that's how it goes with my Sportster

Bought anFXDX new in 2000 and enjoyed it quite a bit. You paid a fair price and got a clean , modded Dyna.

If you were in it for drifting, which one would you drift? I’m aware you don’t have any experience doing that on the Superglide Sport, but what would you say is better? Now how about riding overall? Which one rides smoother? Which one rides like a “Harley” lol? The street bob or the superglide sport?

Purple has grown on me the past couple of years.. Nice bike, good deal

I've got my bike appraised and insured full coverage for 15.0000. That's not exactly what my bike is worth now but as I continue to go in the direction I'm going it will. I understand what you're saying. I think you got a good deal. It's took in some money and time to get my bike where is now.

Has the cam chain tensioner issue been fixed this motorcycle. I have a 2004 Heritage Classic with the 88. I replaced the cam chain tensioner with the Harley Kit which includes the Hydraulic cam chain tensioners and improved oil pump. I also had a oil cooler installed.

I was thinking $6500ish. Damn $9k is a lot haha. But at the same time it’s worth it. It’s purple after all 😉

I still love my 2000 super glide, I know it's not a ElectraGlide Limited Low or anything of that nature. But for day rides it is still my favorite of my bikes.

Love that bike man...put amsoil transmission gear oil for harleys in the trans john and that should help you get neutral easier, also eliminate that huge clunk sound when shifting to first gear ....i run amsoil in all 3 places on my road king. Thats great oil man....20/50 in the motor, they have their own primary fluid, as well as transmission gear oil....

You got a fair deal on a really nice bike. Congrats on the FXDX!

Yeah I got an 07 fxdb streetbob for that had goldfire pull back risers, Memphis Shades fairing, saddle man seat, chain conversion, piggy back suspension, engine and air intake upgrades, fresh paint job....etc with 60k miles on it for 6k. But I'm in Florida, not Cali so... big difference! 😂

I have a v max there is a kit I put on mine that can put the boost on at 3000 Rpm or you can lock it on or off . Keep off for just cruising for mpg always on for playing.kit was like 40 dollars and about an hour to install. Best mod I ever did on mine.

damn i just got a 2010 dyna streetbob for 3k. 25k miles ive ridden it over 100 miles so far no issues. Def the best bike ive bought

Good buy John, fair price man...im sorry i didn't watch the hole video before ecommentimg on the cam chain...with 52 thou, thats probly already done and upgraded, at least i hope so.....if you want to please id like to know what was installed if you can find out....theres a few companies that make the cam plates....s&s and fuelings probly the best

Maybe I just ride too much but my shit always has at least a few holes man. Even brand new ones don’t last more than a week or two from pulling over and tinkering with stuff from time to time & accidentally touching hot parts on the bike in the process. Just happens lol. I didn’t realize it irked people thought it just came with the territory kinda

Hey Jon, i wanted to suggest something about your finding neutral issue. I have the same exact bike. I had the same problem. Take all of the slack out of the clutch cable. When the bike gets hot it will have a little more slack as well. Obviously not so much slack that clutch is being disengaged, but basically 0mm of freeplay. Giving the engine a slight rev will also help just like any other bike.

The neutral thing is more common than not. My 05 dyna, 08 dyna, and 05 softail wouldn't go into neutral at a stop unless i blipped the throttle and flicked neutral right as i let off the throttle. I just got in the habit if nuetral before I stopped moving

Good buy bud. Over here in New Zealand youd probably pay round $12000 $13000 NZ dollars for that set up. As for registration if the bikes over 600cc regos are $580.00 per year

Is that the original TC 88 , any upgrades in the cam chest ? Nice ride !

Jon. Not sure how well it would play in your bike because of the harder riding style you have. My FLH had a hard clutch especially when cold. I did some research and found a lot of Harley riders use transmission fluid in their primaries. I took the plunge and switched from the HD primary oil to Type F trans fluid. It made a massive difference in the clutch actuation. As of yet no slipping or negative behavior. Could be worth looking into other fluid options.

@Comm0ut

Barnett recommends different ATF for different desired clutch behaviors. Bike clutches are quite like automatic transmission clutch packs (and some aftermarket performance clutches use car parts, it making no sense to invest in an oddball fiber and steel plate production).

Got an 03 super glide for $5400 at the Harley dealership with 17k miles and it's stage 2. I love this bike.

I think it's a beautiful bike I've got a wide glide and I'm going to either buy a fxdx or an old fxr for something to have some fun on!

I have a 2000 fatboy and getting into neutral is also tricky have to be rolling the bike back and forth and still sometimes not always easy

i just got one almost the same for 5500 and has some good upgrades, 24k miles, i just started riding so its my first bike

I paid $6500 for my 08 FXDL, with 10k miles. Only upgrade at the time was exhaust and a power commander. Thought shoot, under $10k for a dyna Lowrider with lowerish miles. Imma snag that! My Honda CB1000R I just picked up. Paid $2500 for that, full Yoshimura exhaust and little higher miles at 23k and some change.

Aye does anyone know where you Cld get that tank bib?? For some reason half of mine is all faded and the other side is shiny so I wanna replace it.

also check the inside of the tank for rust

When at stop, and wanting neutral, I pull in clutch and wiggle bike forward and backwards as I gently lift the gear lever with foot. It usually falls in easily, even on stubborn bikes.. I got my Dyna, totally stock, then dropped over $9k so far.. As long as your taking care of priorities, be good to yourself. If you make the bike what you want, it takes money and time. Everyone has their own vision, so you usually dont get all your investment back..

Im getting my 2006 dyna lowrider today for $5600 bone stock now im going to spend a lil on my handlebars and rotors first then seat

Jon your a beast,,very athletic dude,u picked up wheeling and drifting,like a pro,,very quick

I think you did good for the money 💰 the seller put into it,it’s almost completely ready for the kind of riding you want it for.

What you pay for a particular bike is always subjective.I just paid $20,000 for an 88 model evo softail and I am very happy with it but if you don't know my motivations for buying this bike you might think that I was ripped off. After 15 min of explaining upgrades condition and importantly history of the bike the value becomes much more personalized .

We paid $4500 3 yrs ago for same exact bike for my girlfriend, minus the upgrades and hers had about 18k in miles, market must be a lot higher out there. She loved the color and it’s a good size for her. Hers had some engine upgrades, cam, exhaust and tune. I love earlier Dyna’s I had a 94 low rider.

Jon, You have great motorcycle skills, be careful.

I think you got a good deal there. As for the mileage, you say the engine has had a lot of work done, so what does it matter what the odo says.

I paid 2k for aa 97 EVO FXDS-Conv 13k miles, needed battery tank clean petcock replaced throttle cables replaced and fluids. Then im GIVEN an 09 Fat Bob, actually paid me $100 to get it outta his backyard! Sold it for 5k and then upgraded the EVO bike! We should ride sometime! I can tell u all there is to know about a FXDX

John love the new bike! Would love to do a ride some time I am located in Mesa and looking to start my own motovlog soon. Hit me up!

Having a hard time finding neutral, you made need a new compensator or a clutch adjustment.

Hello my fellow Dyna rider, wow,you paid alot for that bike my friend but it's very nice at that. To me it's worth about 7500.. As you said very close and easy to get. Those facts make the 1500 difference look small...love the color too..peace always Chuck
