Default Electras on the way up?
Hi
Are old 1970/80 Electraglides prices on the way up?
Thinking of buying one. Nice condition obviously.

Yesterday found a barn find...71 with '79' miles on it, Got it for $4550.00 Can't wait to clean it up and ride. Clutches are stuck and will need new tires as they are dry rotted but starts right up.

Wow! Nice find. Post some pics when it's cleaned up and road ready again.

I figured it as a winter project but don't know if I can wait that long, Lots of corrosion on the engine and maybe some chrome needs to be attended to but overall , I'm a happy rider. I'll post pics when it's cleaned a little.

Nice find! What did the PO do? Drive it home and park it?

Just the way I brought it home yesterday. Needs lots of attention but runs great.
