Apparently Harley offered to fix it up but the owner didn't want it back

Post by: Far star on May 05, 2015, 01:03:46 AM: It looks like it was burned on the side of the road and just left there. The guy says it's repairable - yeah, by jacking up the license plate and putting a new bike under it.

Title: Re: Repairable?
Post by: Gliderjohn on May 05, 2015, 09:28:08 AM: Back in 89 when I bought my T-3 I paid $600 for it and rode it 90 miles home. I spent about an additional $2K getting it more road worthy and paint and chrome. The same day my neighbor picked up a H-D for $3K. It was a bare frame, motor, and about nine boxes of parts. An additional $9k he had it on the rode. I just don't get it.

Post by: drums4money on May 05, 2015, 08:17:50 PM: The rust holding it all together gives it a nice patina. The doods from American Pickers would be all over taht.
