    The boxes are actually in decent condition, they are just really dirty from sitting in the cold and in a semi humid environment. My best offer If I decide to pursue it is $2100. As far as the engine goes, my guy did the work so I know what the engine has in it and I have spoken extensively with Derek already about this bike.

    Yeah thats a good price. Might be a few hundred light but at least you have bargaining wiggle room should you chose to. You can always go up, hard to start high and go low,lol.

    Yes that turned out really nice.Up here in Canada with the dollar value it'd be worth $7,500 to $10,000

    Thanks. She got all new rocker boxes,rims,tires,tank,top end,handle bars,front and rear brakes sand blasted and refurbed, new brake discs, converted back to electronic ignition and brought the saddle bags back to life.

    I cannot believe the immense dammage done for just sitting in the barn covered for 7 years. Chrome rusted and peeled.

    This what it looked like when i put her in the barn. Moral of the story isride the bike or sell it to someone who will.

    I hear you. Sometimes it helps to step away and regroup. Doesn't sound like the guy really wants to sell.

    To me it's just a better organized basket case. That's why I am walking away from it. And you are right, too much.
