I have been looking but must be missing something - I am not seeing those prices but I will definately keep looking for those deals in the meantime.

Ok...you're gonna have a problem with this guy.I can feel it...why do I say that?...I can tell by the price that this guy has put about Ten grand into his bike(Leather tour Pak, ton's of chrome...been-there/done-that)...so my feeling is the guy knows that he can't expect to get what he's got into it...but he also ain't gonna sell at rock bottom either...so he comes up with a price that's about smack in the middle of a low and high price for that year and type...low to me would be 8K...high would be 14K...I bet he don't budge more than $500.00..I think you can do a lot better...another $1500.00 and you would have tons of 05 and later bikes to choose from...look for an 07 ..(6SP and 96"..much better value).....good luck man

I just bought a 96 RK with just pics but I missed a couple in the last few weeks so when this one came up I decided I better move or miss another one. Bottom line, if you like it put a little down to hold it till you get there. There are better deals than that one but if its the bike for you then get it.

I'm assuming this is a RK Classic since you said it had a leather tour pak. I looked up the value for you on NADA. I added cruise, windshield, saddlebags and security to the price. It's a $9,500 bike at best.

you might be able to do better but if that is exactly what you want then WTF?, go for it! Do people bargan shop therapy? (I don't know either, mine is in the garage) now go get that therapy.
worse comes to worse you gotta do a little tranny or motor work if it takes a dump. no biggie, you just saved 10k over a new one.

I wonder, is there really no value in the chrome, new tires and the 3 seats? I literally couldn't add chrome if I wanted to.

Those were good motors with the Timken bearing crankshafts. If your serious do yourself a favor and have Dawg run the Vin since he offered

As suggested above, have the seller take the bike to a dealer/indy to have a PPI (PrePurchase Inspection) done at your expense. Then based on how the bike checks out, put in your offer. Best of luck!
P.S. I bought my bike via ebay (seller was in PA). PPI revealed new rear brake pads were needed which the seller fixed at his expense before we closed the deal.

I don't care how much the seller has invested, 11K is out of line for a 10 yr old RK. I have a 2006 SG and the dealer won't even give me 11K on a trade.
I think you are looking at around an 8500 bike at best.
