you offered me enough already. just make sure you put a return address so i can send you something back.




why can't i do that? i was really going to list it for $12k hope to get $10K but take $8-9k for it.

nah seriously I want to hold on to it for a while. or unless an offer comes that i can't resist.

I live on a small island. i can't afford to go bullishing someone about the bike if i do sell it. i'm a be strait about how i got the bike and more important what i fixed. there is nothing for me to gain by BSing here.

I haven't ridden in years and this bike is bringing the bug back. MY wife is pregnate and money is tight. but i hope to get my sportster out of probate and into my name so me and my wife can ride together. thats what i hope.

but with times being tough i'll easily sell this bike for my unborn kids. (twins)

A few dings and scratches will total a bike, so that will give you an idea of the price of parts. Honestly, in this economy, you should be find something compareable for 3-5K less, not wrecked, and with a clean title. If the left side was hit that hard, what does the primary look like? Did you see the bike in person?

The only miles on these were the factory test before it came to the dealer. I have them in the boxes that my "big bore" parts came in and they have been in the basement for all this time. I just looked at them recently and they're in great shape. I also have a nice two seat with a cushy passenger seat for your rider. Let me know if you think you can use these. Jim

Also, I think PPG can mix that gun metal blue for your painter. Shipping on the bars is $17. Not sure why so much by USPS. Where do you live?

yeah thats what i need 1 tank badge. the other side is still good.

would it be a crime if i just used bondo on the tank?

also what year heads can i use on this engine. yes it s a fule injected model.
