Hi all,
After dreaming of this day since I first laid eyes on the DLX (maybe as far back as 2014) I just took ownership of DLX #221 in Burlingame, CA. It had 3994 miles with some very tasteful upgrades in addition to being in true showroom condition. I happily paid $9k. My wallet is a bit lighter but my heart is much more full. The ride is everything I imagined it to be and more. So smooth. So effortless. Quite possibly the last bike I'll ever feel the need to own.
Wanted to let the forum know for anyone interested in tracking the provenance and market for DLXs.
Thanks!

Yes, I said that a few times too, including with the CB1100.

"My wallet is a bit lighter" = do not worry about it, we all know what this means and how it feels
