1990 Springer, 4621 actual miles, one owner. Thoughts? Value? Last ride was 1.5 years ago according to owner.

 

That RED!

But that can be changed out. Go for it!

 

No kidding, haha! He said he still has all of the original take-off parts for it too.

 

I'd go 3k

It's a great model/year .... The red accessories are disgusting, probably why it has so few miles... he was embarrassed to ride it....

If he has the OEM parts, it could be a good find. Still, it's a 30 year old bike with very little use... that can kill a bike... it will need work no matter what...

If it passes a vigorous inspection, I'd give up to $4000 for it.... If it shows signs of NOT aging well, I wouldn't go over $3000

Let us know what happens...

 

Going to need a ton of maintenance. Battery, brake lines, fluids, tires, and who knows what else. Then there’s all the horrid red after the fact add-ons. Hopefully the seller is realistic about that. Personally I’d try for 3k and stick to my guns at 3500.

 

Oh Jeez. If I had a bike that was that ugly I'd hide it in a barn for 30 years too. Hopefully someone will do the right thing and un-red it.

 

I may be on the high side here but I would say the most I would pay if they have the factory tins is $5000.00. You have to realize the HD factory springer is worth about $3000.00 to 3500.00 on its own. The motor and tranny are worth about $2000.00 minimum all day here if they run. I buy and rebuild bikes all the time and I wouldn't hesitate to go 5 grand on that bike. I would of course get it as cheap as I could. That would be a great bike to ride, especially with those low miles, that bike has a lot of life left in it.

Of course, the red would have to go. But I have enough parts in my garage to do most of the upgrades fairly cheap. Good luck on your purchase.

 

The bike in the OP is basically the opposite of that beauty you have in your sig.

It looks like a lot of bad choices and neglect. Wouldn't surprise me if the oil wasn't 20 years old or more.

 

That dust alone goes for big $$$ these days.
Just sayin...
