Thats why I'm here, I dont have alot of Harley knowledge so I'm trying to get an idea of what its worth. I'm not dumb enough to think that somebody that wants it is gonna tell what its worth. Could somebody send me a private message and at least give me an idea of what I have found and wht I can expect to get for it? The guy wants what I think is a very low price, but I just dont know, I am pretty sure that its a little out of my league. I think a bike that old should be restored, and I'm just not iterested in a 2yr project.

I'm going to pick it up tomorrow and I'll post some pics of it when I get it here and get the dust off it. I'll open to listen to offers. I think its a little beyond my ability and I want it done right. So I am planning on selling it. I'm gonna give you guys on this site first shot and if nobody is interested I'll sell it on Evilbay. not gonna part it out, it all matches so it should stay complete.

If you've been looking for a project, I don't know why you'd make the purchase you describe and consider doing anything other than restoring it.

Enjoy the Goodness,
