But I agree with previous posts, life is short and get what you want.

Applies to knuckles even more, the bigger they are the harder they fall.

Maybe in another year we can all afford to buy a Knuckle, that would be nice.

I am in a deal with my 41 knuckle for 60 completed no money yet but I think he is going to make it happen - so real money is around but you need to be sort of lucky or good - actually both

Congrats!

Thats shows the market is down then if we go by that restored green one that was 30K more over the winter and of course the "original paint" green one the guy wanted 300K for - crack was involved in that pricing. Still 60K means $100K cdn to me by the time I have one here.

well today funny about this post I went and looked and I am almost sure its mine with the offer I gave him - a 1971 FLH in original paint one owner and 14,000 original miles and it has the 1971 tires on it - it is in metallic copper the old guy had it in the house 30 plus years with a sheet over it - any way pictures will be coming soon my 6066 computer takes a while to down load maybe an hour or so and I just got back
