I own this 1990 Fat Boy...I have been offered $10,000 for it....

I recently purchased it from an elderly gentleman who took exceptional car of the bike

My plan had always been to keep the Gray Ghost and return her to 100% original.. the bike has 4,000 miles and is in amazing condition ....

NOTE: ( I do have all NOS parts to complete the bike...(exhaust, seat, air cleaner, etc...)

I am not sure if I should accept offer in order to purchase a 2003 Screamin Eagle Road Glide that I’ve had my eye on...or hold on the the Gray Ghost

Thoughts or suggestions?

Sell an iconic model so you can get a 2003 TwinCam RoadGlide (which is a dime a dozen)?

NFW.

No specific promises to any one... However, I do hear what you are saying!!! I know where you are going with this.

The sale of certain bikes is often predicted by an unwritten agreement between the buyer & seller . (ie, don’t chop it up, not buying it just to sell, etc...).


I always try to be respectful when I purchase a bike based upon a rapport or understanding with the other party. Bikes are often extensions of people’s personalities so disrespecting a deal is disrespectful to the previous owner.

Buy and sell all of the time, just saying always someone willing to over pay.
