Oh yeah, I forgot about the dual carbs. Considering theres 2 Hyperchargers I'd knock another $500 off the price.

It's hard to see the real issues in the container If you were to visually see it it would be a different story...

On the flip side, if any of us owned that bike we’d probably all try to get $4k lol. I think you kinda hit bottom dollar with a big twin with a title at around $2,500.

I don't know man, some more "live to ride" bling would offset the Hypercharger nicely. **** with enough eagles on there you could run a triple and it'd be hot AF.

At $2,500 I’d buy that. Seriously some elbow grease and some gaskets and you could flip it for $4k. If you wanted a solid bike for yourself the bones are good. Sure you’d put 3k in it making it nice for yourself.. but even if you buy a 5k garage Queen with 10k on it, you’ll still put a grand in with tires pads, battery and all fluids..
Me, if I wanted a Dyna.. wouldn’t matter how nice, even a Queen..my list would go like this:
Pistons 10.5:1 $300
Gaskets $100
Fluids $80
Cam EV46 $250
Lifters $170
Pipes $250 (used step tunes drags)
Wheel barrings $40
brake pads $30
Battery $350 (sold on lithium these days)
handle bars $125 (drag bar as God intended)
front mount $75
Cables $80
Tires $375
Seat $250 (used LePara)
plugs $5
plug wires $50
Fork fluid and rebuild $75
Remove Hyper crappers, tassels, ugly Seat, ugly handlebars… stick in a pile list on FB market for $300 for the lot
this $300 funds my finding good spoke wheels on market.. done
Id do this much before even riding it. Those ugly turn signals would be gone too. Other thoughts… knowing me.. I’d also mildly port the heads and get a really good valve job.. even if it was low mile.
‘’But seriously if your starting at $2500.. it’s still a deal. If ya ended up with 5Kin it it’s break even if you sold it.. meanwhile you got a solid reliable bike with a fresh top end and ready to eat miles.

I bet a used stock carb and manifold bolted to that bike would make her run real easy. That dual carb setup is never going to run right without a bunch of effort.
Not looking to sell my parts, but if you want to borrow the stock setup from my 1997, I have it in the shop in a box.
