Default 82 xls roadster, Milwaukee limited production model

Put it in storage, until I was in a better financial situation. Finally thought it was time to start building it. Someone stole the tins, headlight, pipes, carb, shifter, coil, & generator. If that wasn't bad enough.They also decided to cut part of the main harness out. What would a fair value be on what's left? I just don't have the means to save it.




What it looked like when it went into storage. Waited since i was 9yrs old to get one. Got it, then found out i was going to be a father. 3kids, 15yr marriage, & finally mortgage paid off. The pictures above is whats left. So hopefully some one can save it. Maybe after the college tuitions are paid. Maybe try again...

Hopefully you have a title, and unfortunately it’s not worth much with one.
500-700 maybe. I would look into obtaining a replacement title if you don’t.

looks like it was never complete to begin with, no shifter, no brake caliper on the left can’t tell if the other side is hooked up.
honestly you can find a used 86- 2003 sporty which is a much better bike, ( maybe not as cool cause we know you bought this one ) in 3k range so remember that if you get a buyer.

If no clear title all you can do is part it out. Likely not going to bring much. Anything with a serial number gets tossed.

Clear Title in your name the range of 500 to 1,000 is about right.
