Pictures would help. People can tell you how original they are, as aftermarket parts decrease the value to many. Others don't care. Which are you?

Only original once, sometimes you have to pay up to get it. For me, I prefer to buy something that needs work and love so I can say it is MY bike. Even if that work is getting her back to be more original. Last thing I want is to buy a bike and go somewhere and everyone is saying "isn't that Joe's bike?". You gotta make them yours, a return to stock will be a fun project. Evo's are good solid motors, I have two and they do not give me any grief.
1984 with the 4 speed would be a cool thing to have in the shop, and old enough for an AMCA meet. 1985, you will always be wishing she was one year older. |
It's hard shoping for older bikes online. Sometimes the pictures don't tell the whole story. I took a trailer to go get my 82 FXRS that was 3 hours away. when I got there there was some nasty scratches that were not shown in pictures or talked about over the phone. Other little things like oil leaks, handle bar bushings, pulled button on the original seat. A lot of little stuff that adds up and when you travel 3 hours its hard to just turn away. The scrathes in the paint bug me the most because it is original paint and I don't know how to get it fixed. I tried going to a paint shop for a paint match but they couldn't do it.

1979 is nice but U still vote for 1984, since you already have a Shovel.
