Default Craigslist bike for sale.

What do you think. I think its way to much.
Check out Bellingham WA Craigslist. Motorcycles
73 Harley sporster mix.
He has no key, his father built it & passed away so he is trying to sell it with an out of state title.
I went & saw it. Fires up good & runs good. Just pricey.

I wouldn't touch an ironhead with a 10 foot pole unless you are an excellent mechanic and are in good physical shape. Love mine, will never sell it, ride it nearly every week but I have pushed it more than once too. You didn't post a price but I bet that you could get a used EVO sporty for the same amount.

Better get all the specifics on the title before buying. I would talk to someone at your local courthouse so you will know what to expect when it comes to get tags for it. I got quite a shock when I titled my used Road king and I don't mean just the price of the tags.

$8700?? He is on crack.

You could buy a $4k or $5k later 2000ish model and put less money in it to make it look exactly like that old dinosaur. You will certainly find parts a lot easier and have less "issues" with a later model.

remember. the 70s were the AMF years and a dark spot in harley history and quality
