What he's got there is a potentially very nicely built motor surrounded by a bunch of stuff not worth much of anything.

I've got my mind set on building a Sportster/bobber next winter. Buells are a great source for motors since the bikes aren't worth much of anything.

He doesn't say if its a runner, and judging by the rag in the carb, it's not. Too bad for him.

If he has receipts for everything in the motor, and if the starter is working so you could turn it over and do a comp test, that motor might be worth something.

But unless he has the title to the Buell that the motor came out of, it's a boat anchor.

Nice seat and tin alignment. A clear case of the parts being worth more than the whole or "It's worth what a fool is willing to pay".

Looks like it has some potential but that price is waaay outta line.

Edit- BTW whats up with those pipes? Do they just dump out in front of the cylinders?
