I'm going to be buying a 2002 Ultra Classic that has a rebuilt title. Does this hurt the value of the bike? My plans are to keep the bike for a long time and the price is right. I just can't see buying a new bike with my intentions of modding out the motor and adding a 6 speed tranny. Any recomendations?

 

Yes it does hurt the value, but if your planning on keeping a long time it probably won't matter, but what will matter is your state laws. I would check with the local DMV to make sure it able to be titled/plated and insured before buying. I know around here there are things that need to be done or checked before it's approved.

 

WILL REDUCE THE VALUE BUT SINCE YOU PLAN ON KEEPING FOR A LONG TIME IT WONT MATTER. I WOULD CHECK THE STATE DMV THOUGH AS SOME STSTES DONT ALLOW REBUILT SALVAGE TITLE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD.

 

Is there an echo?

 

Good tip. I didn't even think about that. It has been inspected and passed for Ohio. I won't be able to check with NC until April due to being overseas. I'm buying it from someone here. Here is a link to the page. All thoughts are welcomed.

What my plans are:

port the heads
98" piston kit
gear drive cam that provides good low end torque
SE 6 speed tranny
either Rinehart or V&H exhaust
SE filter
SERT

Can you get a family member to call for you? or try to look online thru your states website?

 

I just searched online and they had a phone number to call. I won't be able to make that call from here. I'll see if my better half can check it out. This kind of has me leaning on the fence a bit. Have you looked at the pics? A second opinion would be great.

 

Yes, looks like a nice bike. Have you checked KBB & NADA to see what it's worth?



Edit: I see he posted the KBB..Seems like a fair price then.
