Default Advice needed 1990 Fatboy
Need some advice, looking to trade my 1978 Corvette for a 1990 fatboy, asking around 7K for the corvette and someone wants to trade this bike for it? is the Bike worth that?

nice looking bike.... but it really depends on how many miles are on it. I can't make it out in the pic. looks like a good bike, lots of aftermarket chrome on it. if your asking only 7k then I'm guessing that you would take less so I'd buy that bike for 6k or so. but really depends on the milage and how its been taken care of.

Default Milage
From the picture it looks like the miles say about 24,323 which from what I have read about seems to be about the right break in milage for these bikes.

Default For sale
It's been for sale about 3 months, I know it's a bad time with the economy so bad but I don't drive it that much anymore and it's taking up room in the driveway.

He has told me that he Kelly Blue booked it and he said it was worth 14K, so not sure he is right when I did it I only got 7K so not sure about all the extras he has installed.

What do you think? 14K for a 1990 even if it's the first year it was released.

No way that bike is worth 14K, he may have that in it, but your 7K figure is correct. I think the 2010 FatBoy Lo is around 14K!!!
