Its an Evo powered chopper..... and its almost winter. $8,500 would be the best I would expect to get. I would bet most offers will be between 6500 and 7500. As mentioned, people with money are doing baggers now. That aside, I dig that style, but I'm not in the market for a chopper.

Very nice bike. Excellent execution! I hate to think about the money and the hours you must have put into it compared to what the market (and the economy in general) is like right now. Best of luck to you, hope you're not having to sell it. That would really suck!

I've watched in disbelief as several of my buddies have sold their 5 to 7 year old $60k Paul Yaffe, Jim Nasi, or Jesse James choppers for less than $15k. Who'd of thunk?

It's a nice bike. All you can do is advertise it and see what kind of offers you get.

Bikes like that going for around 10K-13K in this area. Pretty typical Fat tire bike lots of them on the market so you are looking at a saturated market place. If you can afford to Id keep it and do something different.
Get rid of that big back end or hold on to it until they become "old skool" Put a peanut or king peanut tank on there.
Generally though I'd keep it, people are hurting for cash and you'll have several bikes very similar to yours up there and some of them will be hurting because they bought too many toys and they are feeling the heat. They'll under cut you and that will force you to hold or drop the price.
Dude that bike has so much potential to be totally different than what you have now. If you don't do your own work tear it apart make it better. You could take some stuff off of it and sell it to buy new stuff.
Why sell such potential. Now if cash is an issue than you gotta do what you gotta do and I sincerely hope things get better for you.

Baggers like fatass rear ends will soon be everywhere and folks will scorn them just like many did the wide tire craze of a few yrs back.
I'd take your bike in the pict over any bagger. It is nicer by a long shot
Harley riders have become carbon copy originalists it is kind of sad to see. One style to the next, everyone buying what everyone else has.
Harley used to mean individuality. Now it means buy what Bob has and throw some of those heinous Willie G skulls on there and instant biker.
