Still on the hunt for a Flathead and still totally clueless as to fair value.
"Assuming" it's in good mechanical condition.
What do our resident experts (you guys know who you are) feel a fair price would be for this bike?
About the only thing I would probably change is exhaust.
Thanks and Merry Christmas.

 

Lots of aftermarket parts, lots of different year things going on,

But, assuming it runs and rides as it should, I would assume someone would want $15k for that Flathead.

But I would use all of the repop against him and try for $12k. Lots of expensive parts need replacing. Dash, headlight, tail light, sheet metal, etc. etc.

You could start with much worse, this one looks good, but for me I see all the wrong. But it presents well. Good luck.

 

Thanks. 15 is the asking price.

 

Pretty bike. And yes, the exhaust has to go! I run a straight pipe and it isn't too loud.

 

A jewel sitting among the garbage - any way

it to me is a just finished for sale machine — lots of questions — how it runs and drives is a big one - dealers are not friendly about riding old stuff because then they have to deal with the oil on the floor it now does not have

could it be a belt drive sure is it better - to me yes for sure its cleaner

the seat pogo is a way better deal then the crotch vibrator with strings - it looks as if holes and welding made that douche rocket **** happen - look close at that take 1000 at least off for that - look right at him and say they drilled holes in a 75 year old bikes frame really - what else did Einstein do

the carb works some fuys like them some dont - prefer the linkert first developed in the 20s = yea so now you need a scooter carb Y

things like the correct speedo - tail light 350 - to me the springer is a tedd cycle 2500 OEM - not having original bars and the fittings is another 600 - seat pogo and seat 700 on the re pop side

right about 6 foot you no longer fit on that 45 WL to ride it for 45 min or so and it becomes very uncomfortable i am 63 i dont like test riding them my feet dont fit in the spot for them

do i like it sure - nice looking price my guess they want 20 thousand or even more - dead correct they get that - to me 12 but my guess its not selling for that

 

Great info you guys.
Much appreciated.

 

so I know a little about this bike, it was built in 2015 the motor and transmission were rebuilt at the time I cant remember if the tanks are original or not but at the time it was a good running bike. sold at the time for around 12K

 

the frame for the seat was not changed, it is mounted using the bolt for the tanks with bracketry going back from there.

 

This one presents well:

Not perfect, but a good looking bike. No affiliation, just ran across the listing.
