i'm looking at purchasing a used bagger.  i've recently looked at a 2007 street glide with 6800 miles on it.  it has a 23" front rim and 7 degree rake but other than that is mostly stock with a 110 rev tech and 6 speed trans.  he wants 17K.  the other bike i'm looking at is a 2000 electra glide classic with 8000 miles.  it is in a 1985 frame so the numbers don't match but it is only $8k which leaves me plenty of room for customizing the entire bike.  but it has the 88ci engine and 5 speed trans.  so do i want the newer bike with newer trans and engine but very little customization or the older bike with the smaller engine but one i would have money to completely customize?  any feedback is appreciated.  

i'm just looking for some positive and negatives from people with bikes similar, anyone have a 88ci and five speed and wish they had gone with a bigger motor even if it meant sacrificing custom pieces? or anyone with one and thinks its all they need?  

I have and 99 eglide with the stock 88cc . We installed the 95 stage II kit. Made a world of differnce. i ride 2 up with my wife and can pull front wheel off of the ground in first three gears.  

Just get a stock bagger and trick out the supeneion.I have a 02 FLHT that has been all over the country and runs great.
