Sounds about right to me if you go off the Nada value:

Found two completed auctions on eBay. Quite a range.

1984 Harley Davidson Sportster XR-1000 31 bids- sold for $10,000

1984 Harley-Davidson Sportster "old ironhead' XLX 1000 16 bids sold for $2400

Seems the "xr" is the hot ticket. Here's an '83 that went for $12k.

KBB full retail price (what a dealer would ask) is around $3,000 - $3100 for all other sportsters of that year.
