Congrats. Looks great, trim nice and dark.
I'm surprised the wife likes the ride. Seems like it would be a bit harsh with the HD's.
Could not see the ad, how many miles does it have?

rspi -- it now has 170k miles. But the engine was completely rebuilt within the last 20k miles and the previous owner also replaced the transmission. Hence erikv11's "sort of" answer.
I was expecting a really harsh ride with the 17" low profile tires, but honestly I think it rides great. I don't notice much of a difference from my son's 850 Platinum that has 16" tires. And it certainly rides better than my 99 Suburban!
