I am the second owner of the bike. I purchased the bike about a year ago with roughly 2,500 miles on it. Immediately took the bike to New River Harley Davidson to do a full inspection, maintenance, change all fluids, and replace the rear tire with oem tire. The bike also has aftermarket Vance and Hines Exhaust. Bike does has 10,834 miles on it currently and is scheduled for a 10k mile service at the Harley Dealership next month. The bike is in immaculate condition and selling is the absolute last thing I won't to do. My family is growing and that it the only reason. I do have both keys to the bike, the original owners manual, and the original owners service guide. I do still have the embroidered 100th anniversary passenger seat as well as the badged 100th anniversary windshield.

It's powerful, that's for sure! You'll pass everything else on the road! Except the gas station. It has a 4.8 gallon gas tank. Which, in my opinion is too small. A 5 gal. tank would be better as gas consumption is high. But, what do you expect with a 1450cc motor! Chrome everywhere. Which is time consuming... read more
It's powerful, that's for sure! You'll pass everything else on the road! Except the gas station. It has a 4.8 gallon gas tank. Which, in my opinion is too small. A 5 gal. tank would be better as gas consumption is high. But, what do you expect with a 1450cc motor! Chrome everywhere. Which is time consuming. But looks great when you get it shined up. An all around great bike. With ONE exception. It needs forward control's. It would be SO much more comfortable on longer rides. Other than that, you can't beat it! It'll do what you want every time! Mine has NEVER left me stranded after 4 year's of hard riding. Like anything else, you have to preform your maintenance every time! If you treat this dog well. You'll have a friend you can count on every time! It'll never let you down!

I am not the original owner but this bike has gorgeous paint, runs like a champion and accelerates on the freeway effortlessly. Mileage/fuel consumption is 42 mpg checked on a 200 mile trip to Daytona 'BiketOberfest' this year 2022. Rides and maneuvers easily. I am proud to own this one and love riding it daily. I have 2 other bikes and this one usually gets the nod when I am going anywhere. The original seat if firm and I have a hard butt so for myself it is comfortable. No issues that I can say would stop me from getting another one if I was in the market.

I bought this 100th Anniversary Superglide in November of 2002. Delivered to my door with 4.7 miles on it. The first thing I did was change out all oil and lubrication with Amsoil, She has had nothing but clean, fresh synthetic oil at all times. The inside of the engine is cleaner than the outside. I'm tall so I replaced a few parts to make a more comfortable ride. King-Queen seat with a sturdy sissy bar. Forward controls, Vance-Hines long shots and a little extra chrome here and there. I have all of the original parts incase you want to go back stock her. She has 36,000 easy miles. I was never a hot rodder, treated her with love and there are NO oil leaks to this day. Breaks my heart to sell, but my health problems are getting me down. I'm 74 and time has caught up with me. Lots of road trips left in my Baby. She needs a Good Home. Asking $ 3,500 The chrome is bad in two spots, points cover and the belt guard. I believe I bought both of those parts on line and both should be replaced. Text me before you call, I usually don't answer unknown numbers. Ride Easy, hell of a scooter at this price.

This is a fun bike with a lot of power and a unique appearance. I’ve had friends call my bike beautiful. At a 120 mph and pulling, you’ll start wondering if the wind will blow one of your legs sticking out in front off the peg. Water cold, single oil sump, 1130cc eye turning affordable crotch rocket. saddlebags will defile it And range of about 130 miles. The aluminum rims and forks put badly.

I love this motorcycle and hate to sell it. I’m 75 years old, had a mild stroke a couple years ago so don’t have the confidence in myself to ride. It is a highly unique factory customer bike. I honestly have not seen an identical bike ever. She looks like new and rides like a dream. I added a Chrome tachometer, and Thunder-blaster pipes and more. The final year for the Evolution engine. My personal taste was to take off the passenger seat, but I kept the parts if you want the more traditional Heritage Softail look.
