help..
I am looking to bid on a bike this Wednesday.
It's a 1994 flhtcu It has 11,537 miles.. Many many extras.. he's also selling a trailer.. Thinking thats why the bike has so few miles..
Blue book roughly shows a value about 7 to 10 grand..
Is there any problems I should look for? hows the evo engine compared to todays?
gonna try to upload pics also..

RE: help..
There is nothing wrong with an Evo engine. Especially if it has only 11k on it. However, you need to do your homework before buying anything on-line! There have been many scams on Ebay and other auction sites, claiming to sell Harleys at or below book. After some back and forth emails, I found out that the seller was somewhere in Indonesia.
You also need to do a VIN and title search, and make sure that the bike was not retitled from salvage. This happens a lot, after Katrina in Lousiana and Mississippi. If everything checks out, I would give him no more than 10k for both the bike and trailer.
Just my opinion.

RE: help..
This would be a great question for Shovelhead Bob over in the Tech forum. If I were buying it I would find out if the cam bearing was upgraded to a Torrington bearing. If not then do a cam, heads, carb, ignition and pipes to wake it up.
If you are getting a killer deal it might be worth having a 94 or older Evo, but I would be looking for 96 and up just for the modern inner fairing, gages, and larger speakers.
