Default New Member, Not too sure what I have

Hey guys, I'm new here as you can tell. I just inherited a Harley from a relative and am curious as to what I have. The color scheme isn't really my cup of tea. I'm not sure if there is any significance to it. It does have 8/200 stamped into the tank, I'm guessing this means it's number 8 of 200? I know it's a 2004 Softail Heritage Classic? Anything you guys could tell me about it would be greatly appreciated!

you have a softail that somebody droped a lot of money customizing. #'d paint sets in good shape tend to hold thier value. Someone will love that set and it will be just what they are looking for. Easy to find stock tins to trade it out with. How did you end up with the bike? What are your plans for it?

unfortunately, this bike carries no real value and the inhertance tax you face could be more than you could possibly receive for the bike if you sold it.

I will be happy to come by and take this bike and all of the related headaches off your hands.

How does this weekend look for you?

The bike came from a relative of mine, I honestly don't have any plans for it. I'm thinking I may sell it. If anyone is interested please let me know, I don't really know what it's worth but can do some research.

I considered it, but seeing as I'm 5'10"and 135 pounds I feel that it may be a little too much for me to handle. I'm disgustingly obsessed with classic bmw's (the cars not the bikes) and am scared if I do ride it I may develop another addiciton that my wallet can't afford.

How does this weekend look for you?

This weekend is good, how does $100 sound? I'm looking for a quick sale. I only have one condition....you have to ride it from VT all the way back to Texas with a blow up doll ductaped into the rear seat.

Just a reminder here. We don't allow selling in the general forums. We only allow it in the Classified area.
