I offered the fella what I thought it was worth and he turned me down. Hopefully he comes to his senses and contacts me back, or decides to put the work in himself. I'd hate to see the bike continue to rot away like that. Thanks for all the feedback everyone.

a lot of people would rather stuff them in their garage than sell them for what they believe is too cheap.?..
I've never understood that.

Another way of saying it is that some people think that because it is a Harley it's worth a lot of money.
For example back in 08 when I bought my Heritage a guy tried selling me a road king that didn't start and needed tires and drive belt just for starters for $8k and wouldn't take a penny less.
As far as I know he still has it.

yeah they call it the Harley tax lol. Even Harley dealers do it so best bet is to try and find a realistic person or place. There's currently a guy in my area selling an 89 Heritage with 40k miles for $11k haha I'm not even gonna bother.

He`s not selling it at that price, he is dreaming about selling it at that price.

The cost of an `89 FLSTC new was $10,600.....
