hellonewman, Thank you for the vin info,
I think you're referring to 1968 up in the thread with 68 frame and a cone engine. That one is out.
The 1983, the last bike posted here, has the original 1983 frame. So it should have the vin on the frame. But since the case has been changed no vin on the engine. Do these have vin on tranny as well?
Also, I am curious how the control mismatch happened. Is that something that you need to fix After swapping the engine case? I am guessing the guy put in the S&S case and it was just easier to move the controls forward ??

That's a 1980.
Had it for 8 years, $5600 on upgrades with receipts including new paint, which I wish it hadnt, I prefer old and unfinished look on these bikes better. He didnt sound or look like someone who'd mess with bikes himself.
Did these come with Oil cooler? The oil cooler thing he mentioned kinda suprised me...

Orange you glad he painted it that color?
One picture doesn't show much, the change from the stock appearance is fine if thats what you want. You would need to look at the bike in person and go from there.

From the descirption:
All numbers match
Updated RIVERA clutch,
Inner primary case,
All seals replaced,
S &S carb,
New tires,
Dyna 2000 ignition,
Oil cooler
Runs great
Talked to the owner, all work done by Harley / Indian shop. Wont go lower than $8300. Two extra seats probably worth $500
Lot of money for a bike that has had a lot of changes done to it.. From what I understand the Rivera clutch is a good upgrade as is the Dyna ignition system and S&S carb.
Need to make sure the title, frame and VIN# match.
..."alll work done by Harley./Indian shop"... He needs to have receipts for the work he's had done. How many miles on the motor and tranny? No mention of that in your information. At this stage and with those mods it will definitely have been gone into at least once.
That said, I only see a $6500-$7500 max price.
