Shovelhead prices here in Australia are certainly firm, they are very desirable relatively easy to work on & there are parts available.

Interest in Shovels is gradually increasing over here

Bike in pic might fetch $4K -$5K US in my area
Coast prices are generally higher

If I converted the $$$ correctly that would be $14k US, that is absolutely crazy money for that bike. On her absolute best day running like an absolute monster, $7k and even then I do not like the look. Rotated rear fender is "unfortunate" at best. $5k to get me to talk to you and then I am negotiating.

How much does it cost to ship a bike to Australia!??!?!?!?!

It varies depending where in the US you are. There are a few bike shops here selling US imports, but mainly
ones in original condition and have to have titles. Only vehicles manufactured before 1989 can be imported unless you can prove that you have owned the vehicle for more than 12 months then there are a few hoops to jump through.......my FLH was a US import and is insured for $29400au with the title from rural New Jersey...just for laughs i did a street view with Google maps of the address and read the sign at the gate ..."trespassers will be shot !!" ...love it !!!
