Fair Market Value
What would be a fair market value on a 1987 Harley Sportster 883 w/1200 conversion kit. I know many factors go into this but lets put the bike at average appearance and 20,000 miles on the speedo with regular maintenance. Reason I'm inquiring is I'm going to make a friend an offer for his bike that's been sitting for awhile.
I 've been thinking of a good bike to bob and this looks like a good candidate. Is KBB trade a good number to throw at him or is that too low? I've owned metric my whole life and trade or lower is OK but with Harley I know they hold value a little better.

I have less than $6K in Tiff's Nightster with Short Shots, Forwards, crash bars, two up seat and sissybar, quick detach windshield and less than 3,000 miles. They can be had for a good price, so if I knew I had a couple of thou to toss into it already, I would draw the line around a grand, too. BTW, there are two 883 Lows and one 1200 for sale at a local dealership with fairly low miles for the $4K range. Mid 2000's models, too.
BTW, now my only problem with the bike is having to sell the seat and sissybar, windshield, and Cycle Shack exhaust.

Black Book Auction price for an 87' XLH883 is $1,745, on the XLH1100 it is $2,545. These prices are reflective of average prices these models are bringing at auction across the country. Lots of dealers participate in these auctions and the figures reflect the average sales prices.
