Thanks for the posts. 6 years ago I was thinking about it,, I don't ride it anymore but it's hard for me to part with it. I know a lot of you know what I mean. I'm hoping there are still some old school enthusiasts that would want a 52 year old Harley Davidson engine in the shape this one is in. The 1967 XLCH was one of the last years Harley made the all american bike before selling to AMF in 1969.
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.

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.

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