Hey guys, I'm new to the motorcycle world. I just bought my first bike. It is a 97 Bad Boy that was rebuilt in 99 after being in an accident. The guy who rebuilt the bike is a HD mechanic. The bike is all Harley except for the frame, which is a Midwest, with 30,000 miles. My first question is what would you guys say the bikes worth is?
I know this is a hard answer without seeing the bike or riding, just curious. I have researched what a stock bike would be worth, but am wondering how much the non-HD frame is going to affect price.
My second question is what seats are you Bad Boy owners using? I'm having a hard time finding them. I would love to put a sprung seat like a bone's seat on there, but haven't found anything. Any ideas?
I might be wrong but since the frame is not a Harley,on your title you technically shouldn't have a Harley.The worth of your bike would probably be better off if it stayed HD.Like the above post,is it a clean title with this bike?
As long as you are happy with the price you paid all is well. Since you have already bought it just relax.
Yep...
as far as value....its worth the same as every other Midwest bike with a rebuilt title.... probably not as much as a 97 BB with a rebuilt title though...
IMO something is only worth as much as someone else is willing to pay for it...
