Default Age and Value??

I know its obviously a long shot, but does anyone know what year (or years) this Lowrider is, and based solely on the crappy photo, a round about value if it were to go to auction... The cleaner cover says "80 cu. in."... Keep in mind that has been sitting outside since ATLEAST 3/14...

Thanks in Advance!

Late 70's or early 80's....I had a '79 that looked a lot like that when I bought it new.
I'm pretty sure the Low Rider model was first introduced in 1977, so that bike is most likely somewhere between '77 and '82

Shovel head engine - 80cu in so probably circa early 1980s.

I think that's an '82 Low Ruster.





I mean. It is now anyway.

If you can get that close find someone on the inside to get the VIN#, no more guess work. For me -$1500 no look, $1800 if it kicks over, another $100-$200 if she tries to start. Understand its what its worth to you.
Tires, fluids, brakes, clutch, and any misc engine repair just to get her on the road. If you spend the money to make her pretty , you better plan on keeping her.
BTW if you buy her I'd be interested in a seat deal (if it's not ripped anywhere).


I have something that seat belongs on.

I can't even remember how many of those "Ham Can" air cleaner I tossed on the scrap heap back in the 80's....Now they're worth money and are highly sought after.


Go figure.

IMHO....$1,500 tops. It's pretty much unmolested but it's obviously been neglected and left out in the weather.

Yep - got a Ham can and original 2/1 pipes boxed in the shop.
You want to talk Crazy Money - the original sissy bar tool pouch for the FXB.
