Hey guys I just bought an 03 bird with 1082 miles on it and joined the site to get some good information. It is all stock so I will be looking for fender eliminators, exhaust, and a power commander. If any one else has some suggestions go ahead and shout them out! Thanks
Jesse

G'day from Australia
A 5 year old bike with 1082 miles on her .... that's about 216 miles a year !
What did the previous owner do with her, push her up and down the driveway once a week ?
Mine's 9 months old and has 18,000 klms on her already !
Good pick up

man nice mileage on that '03. I might have to trade up to an '03 if I can ever find one with that kind of mileage. Let me know if you see another one like that Welcome to the site.

Welcome from the windy city. That thing sounds like it is brand new. With that kind of mileage you can't even call it broken in. Lets see some pics

Hi and to the site from Scotland. That is a ridiculously low mileage for an o3. I thought my 04 with 4k on it was low when I bought it in April, but yours.........

That's an almost new bike you've got there, hope you managed a good price based on age not mileage??
I bought mine at 18months old with almost 11,000 miles on it, now it's almost 9 years old with almost 35,000 and I thought it was fairly low mileage!!

Wow, what a deal Jesse!

Nice find!

Honestly, I would leave her stock other then the power commander and a throttle Mister, but I'm a stock freak. My opinion is when something works as well as a stock Blackbird, don't ---- with it!

Just my opinion.
