How much is this 1959 Sportster worth?
Hello everyone,
I am currently doing some remodeling at a lady's house. She is a friend of my parents and her husband recently passed. He has an old Harley in the garage that she is willing to barter for the work. I was wondering if anyone can give me a rough idea of the bike's value? I believe it is a 1959 xlch Sportster. He has a box with some of the original parts, including headlight and seat. The exhaust is no longer stock, it has the typical Harley duals, low on right side of bike. I couldn't get a good picture because of all of the stuff in the garage.
Thanks for any help!

Looks pretty cool with the period seat but tank is dented and front brake looks newer than '59. Expect more replies from XLH experts. Value depends if motor is free or stuck.

Thanks for posting that, Uncle Chester. I have a few others but I'll have to wait a few days until I'm able to post them. The motor is free, not stuck.
