I gotta laugh at someone who would pay 17500 for that... nice bike but not 17500. and if it's such a bad deal for you why are you willing to make the trade. Sumpin' don' smell right

It is a 63 frame with an 80 inch shovel motor.it was 35 thousand to build and all vins and paper work is in order.
Hate to burst your balloon but 1963 frames were a swing-arm (as in rear shocks) and not rigid, so unless you or someone hard-tail the *** end it ain't no 63.
35K to build? You may have PAID someone that much to build it but they did not give yu your moneys worth of 35K IMHO.
New harleys are japanese this shovel head is real american harley.
Balloon #2 goes up into thin air...all those aftermarket parts are not made in America. They are made by the lowest bidder in some third world **** hole country.
And least you need to be reminded 1980 conehead shovels were AMF years...
Maybe should should stop dissin the twin-cam crew.
The vins are in place and so is the paper
There are NO vin numbers on a 63 frame. As pointed out in 1970 MoCo started tagging frames and motors with matching numbers. Outside of that in Kali at least what you have is a special construction motorcycle. So while you may have a valid set of numbers for the motor, the only way to id the frame is through casting numbers and a stamp on the upper motor mount that will give you the month and year for the frame. that's it.
Not sure how Florida can register this as a 63 or even an 80 but maybe things are looser in your neck of the woods. Guarantee LEO would tow it if you presented a 63 reg (doesn't matter if you got a title in hand that says 63, the vin on the cases throw that out the window.)
Not meaning to be disrespectful of you bike but the holier-than-thou attitude just don't fly here.
BTW I have been riding the same 65 panhead since 1970 (real made in America) and am working on a 49 panhead that I am trying to bring back to original condition using only correct OEM/NOS parts (which are American parts..

Wants a 96 truck that doesn't run?
Even if not a troll these guy's are playing with a few cards short of a full deck.
No one ever gets their money out of a custom car or bike. Unless you are a household name builder as Boyd Covington or OCC. And selling a brand new custom.

sounds like each is screwing the other - but if you guys walk away after the trade and feel like it was a good deal thats all that matters
