Winter Project?
Considering this one. I assume the piston came loose. What do you guys think?

Offer $900, just a parts bike unless it is running. Would make a good project; however, if there is more damage than just the piston, it may cost a couple of thousand if you have to split the cases and replace the rods or other parts that got crapped up with broken pieces of metal inside the engine cases.

If you do get it let me know as I have a couple of websites that will help you out. Get a factory service manual and you should have no problems. There are not too many Sportster Sports out there (XL1200S). Mine has dual spark plug heads, I think the 1998 also has dual spark plug heads.
