1980 Wide Glide

Any of you on here have a 1980 Wide Glide? How are they? Good bikes? How hard are they to find? What's the cheapest I could get one?

80 fxwg

I have an 80 I am 5'-9" it fits me like a glove. Best ride I have ever had.

Mine is pretty much stock, even the factory brown. I would say

5,000 to 7,000 depending on your location.

I live in Kentucky, but I probably was going to look for one on the net. If I got one. What about 77-79 Low Riders, I really like those bikes too?

I have a 1980 FXWG Wideglide make me an offer. It runs good and no problems. It may need a new speedo this one jumps around at 70 mph.
I am considering a trade for a nice Plymouth GTX but have not made my mind up as of yet.

I've got an '82 Wide Glide and had a '79 Low Rider. Of the two, the Low Rider was the better bike but I sold it many years ago. I'm 6'2" and the Glide is a little samll but still a good bike.
