After several months of persistent searching, traveling, calling, etc, I finally settled on a 2006 K-9 located up in Ohio (the odometer is correct). 
I looked at a lot of nice bikes and thanks to all that submitted their offers to me, but this one checked all the boxes I was really looking for. It had the right combination of paint, condition, mileage, etc. I think this one is as good as it's going to get for what I was looking for.
I'm sure I'm going to have a million questions, but to start....can anyone please tell me the "trick" to removing the right side electrical cover? I removed the left side which was challenging to put back with out scratching it, but I see the right side impossible without removing the front belt guard (and what's the "trick" to that?).
I'm ecstatic to finally be a BDM owner/rider - it was time to step out of the H-D groove and venture into the chopper world. I'm a little late to the game at 61, but as they say...."better late than never!". But I'll be honest though, I do miss the 2001 CVO Wide Glide (red) I sacrificed to secure the K-9. It was a magnificent, museum quality piece with only 850 miles on it and absolutely flawless in every respect. I knew it wasn't something I was going to ride, and I'm at the age I can't be "saving" things anymore so I sacrificed it. I do, however, still retain an original 1998 Wide Glide (Teal/White) which has been with me since new.
Looking forward to putting miles on the new chopper!!
