Default 72 shovelhead trade for a softail

..... bike is sold...... (i forgot this add was up)..
i have a 72 flh electraglide,i want to trade for a softail (older,needs work,ok) .. it is a 72 model but the title says 77 homebuilt harley-davidson because the frame was replaced at some time,it is older and has no vin numbers. i had it inspected at a title bureau when i bought it ,it was all legit.. the frame is powder coated ,motor was totally rebuilt 7 years/2k miles ago,it starts every time,it runs great, and is fast. ALL NEW timkin bearings, 80" crank and cylinders, wisco pistons, s&s heads, s&s super e carb, dyna s ignition and coil,alternator/regulator.starter solenoid, clutch plates, chrome O-ring chain, gma rear brake and master cylinder,stainless braded hoses and cables.. rear tire was replaced 3 years ago then the bike sat on a stand in my garage since because i got a new bike..paint was done this past april.
last month i replaced the battery,front caliper bushings,rear brake pedal bushing and spring, the complete top end gaskets and seals were replaced with james fire ring gaskets.took care of most of the oil leaks...i have a bobtail fender on the bike,but am including the original hinge fender(still orig paint) and all lights. i just put antique plates on the bike last month so i can take it to shows.i took it to quakerstate and lube bike nite twice.i decided i would much rather get my wife riding again then take this to shows alone..am looking to trade for a softail chassis fx/fl. if it needs work, cleaned up, tuned, paint, or maybe the rite basket case we could still work something out..

That's a nice looking ride!

Probably way out of my range, but I gotta ask...

What's your price?

Still looking for that trade? I have a damn nice 90 Springer Softail. I have been looking for an older bike for quite some time. Maybe we can work something out...

that's a nice looking springer.. i would have got a bobtail rear fender and a smaller seat for it.. i traded the shovelhead for a 27' boat.. sold the boat to buy another one, then sold it a year ago to make 6 months of back house payments that my wife decided she didnt really have to pay so she could have more spending money..

I think I'd keep the bikes and boats and get rid of the other baggage - "well you know" That's what I did...
