1976 Fxe. Garage find. Been sitting 15 years with the tanks full. Lol. I’m the one without silver hair.

I paid 2500. The original owner says it has about 8,000 miles. He hardly rode it and then let it sit. I have never owned a Harley but I think at this point in my life I’m responsible enough. The original owner did not wreck it but layed it down. So he had the fat bob tanks put on. While it was in the shop he had the pipes changed, s&s carb, and crane ignition. It’s not a smoking deal for around here but he let me make payments. The deal actually came to me.

Nice find...Great looking scoot. $2500 is a steal IMO. Heck I spent more than that in parts just to make my bike more correct. 8k miles is almost new. Shovels in my area are going for about $10k...higher price is probably due to supply and demand. Did the bike come with seat and bags? Have fun with your project.
