It's basically worthless, but I'll pay the shipping if you want to send it to me. I'm sure I can find a use for it.

 

Ouch! Tough crowd...

Everyone's got their issues. Yours is grammar.

 

You see, it's hard to price your sentimental value of the bike. The buyers of the bike have no such sentiment. You have to figure out a way to lose the emotional value in the bike and price it realistically.
Sure, pre-AMF bikes are better but a chopper changes all that intrinsic value.
A custom bike means you have to find that very hard to find, custom buyer.
A stock, unmolested, original '67 XLCH would be worth a lot more and much easier to sell..with buyers waiting in line.

 

I agree with you. I have a sentimental value but realize it has nothing to do with the selling price. I'm not looking so much to sell it on the looks and style of the bike. I realize there are not many old school Harley lovers that would get into that type of thing. When I was a kid, guys would give a lot to have a bike in that raw, rugged style. Now a days, everyone wants all the comforts. I'm looking more for the buyer that wants a vintage Harley-Davidson engine in this condition. And anyone that actually knows what they are looking at and a life long love of Harley's -- knows it's not basically worthless.

 

If it's running somewhere around the 2K mark depending on your area, chopped piglets never did draw any real money.

 

I think you missed it, but I was actually complimenting your bike because I like it. That's an old, classic forum gag, i.e. "It's useless but I'll take it off your hands...."

Anyway, I think it's pretty cool.

 

Every year here in New Braunfels there is a huge chopper festival called "Giddy Up" Hundreds of old choppers are being seen, sold and ridden. Could be they have that in your area.
