I'm looking at a used 111" S&S with 12k on it.
Has anybody got a clue what it should be worth??

 

No, but I think you should buy it!

 

No actual idea, but if it was me, the ceiling on the price would be about half what it would cost new.

Everything I've read says that is an outstanding motor. All the same, the guys who put those in their bikes aren't doing so because they plan on being gentle with them.

 

^ this is a good point. But on the plus side, it’s a s&s and a hellacious motor compared to our stock ones. I� would go 3G’s

 

you building the boy a new bike?
Ok which bike ya gonna put it in?
OR did Omaha give ya a bad itch??

I was told by a friend of his he wants $2.5k.
I haven't actually spoken to the guy that owns the motor but he has sent me a text with the MSO.

The boy wants Katy but I'm looking at putting it in Tina.

 

$2500 seems reasonable. Is it currently installed in a bike so you can hear it run and do a compression check?

 

Unfortunately not.
Thinking about seeing if I can borrow a scope and take it with me to look into the cylinders.

 

Not installed therefore unable to really test...

Hmmm...

At a minimum, get it mounted in a stand and make sure it turns over without making any horrible noises.

If you know the guy (or if it's a "friend of a friend" kind of deal), maybe.

Just some random guy? I'd drive a hard bargain.

 

It's a friend of a friend thing.
Still not sure I'm willing to give that much for a used motor.
I'll start haggling with the guy on Sunday.
Hopefully I'll have my voice back by then.
