So at one point or another that bike ran pretty hot. See how blue those pipes are? You might factor that into your asking price. Also, drags on a shovel are LOUD as hell.
Are the belly numbers the lower case numbers? I assume they matched the frame numbers from the factory. I dont think its an original numbers matching bike because the owner is not advertising that.
Belly numbers (lower case numbers) are not going to match the VIN# but if original will match each other
FYI there are no 'frame numbers' on pre-70 bikes. They were titled by the engine number.
You need to educate yourself on the VIN #, belly numbers and some of the frame casting #'s. This will determine how much of that bike is really 1967. Maybe the bones are all good and she just needs some re-direction. Pictures of all will get you real good answers form this site.
Messy flat side Shovels are $12k and up for sure, probably $15k looking as nice as that one. I would use the lack of HD parts against the owner to try and get her for cheaper. The numbers will tell the story.
I like the way this one is set up and it looks great to me! Would be a lot of fun to tinker with and putt around on. I want a pre 70 bike but was not ready to start the educated search. I saw this one and it has motivated me to get started learning. Appreciate the reply, Architect.
The first things I looked for were the primary is correct and early 66 with the slot screw access, the tanks being 66 only, correct rear shocks, hubs aren't chrome and the bars / controls look correct. I contacted the seller and he says the engine mount bolts still have the castle nuts and cotter pins in place. The oil tank, exhaust, caps and paint job are incorrect but thats not a huge deal.
