I might have paid $35,000. But not $34,900!

"Piece of history", what a crock! He never rode a softail, and he certainly never rode this one.
Unfortunately for the seller, it's not a standard 1998 softail.

I remember 15-20 years ago the sellers of the clone bikes saying that they were "worth" as much, or even more than actual HD's.

If you want something from Evel, find something small that he signed to hang it on the wall.
Yep, that thing is a clone all day. He might find someone completely outside of motorcycling to give him stupid money for it, but I doubt it.

The only thing that's "extremely rare" is the paint job, which I wouldn't have if someone paid me to get it done.

California Motorcycle Company has an impressive (sarcasm) website. Are they still in business?

C'mon now, that thing is "for serious riders only." And do you mean to tell me that if you bolt on 25K worth of crap, you it's not "custom?"

can't blame a guy for trying now can you ? never know some rich guy may come along and just have to have it without even knowing what he's looking at.
