According to the VIN it was a night train with a carb, NADA says it is worth $7630 in my zip code and I don't see any mods that would increase the value...IMO a bike is worth no more than a bank will loan on it. As far as it being a night train, it would be worth more if it was showroom stock. I bet it does not hit the reserve...and it doesn't sell.

I'd offer to pay 4500.00, no more. ANYTHING that deviates from stock takes money OFF the price when I buy a bike. A bike customized like that would be treated as having a salvage title by me.

Agree with this. 10-11k if you wanted it bad enough. Rather buy one and make it your own unless this one excites you.

Just curious why a stock 88" is a problem? I always laugh when I hear this...more bikes for me to buy I guess, I can guarantee I have a 88" that can out run 103's with a stage 1 and to think guys pass on that engine..SMH. The one thing I can say is yes that bike can be built fairly cheap. I just saw a 01 night train on ebay sell for 5200.00..

You would spend 7 or 8 k on a stock bike, and it wouldn't take long to spend the other 10k.

Geez...a little sensitive, you need a midol..and by the way it does make a bike "custom" if you paint it that would mean it's custom to you..
