I seen it yesterday:
There is a super nice black 1993 Electra glide at cycle works In Casper, Wyoming (307-234-6277) with 8000 miles on it for $9000.00.
it stuns me when I see old bikes with no mileage.
This guy couldn't even have worn out a front tire in all these years.
What a perfect candidate to convert to a trike also and if it were on my doorstep that's just what I would do....
It would still be worth every cent in resale value too when I was done with it.
High book on it is $12,000.00.
Hell, I cant afford a new Harley tri-glide and I figure I would have about $19,000 in it all together including purchase price.
Of course I would do the conversion myself so that's an added benefit.
Beats hell out $42,000 for a new tri-glide and it would give years of trouble free service just with regular maintenance.
This machine wouldn't have all the computer trash on it and would think it is still carbureted so a regular guy could actually fix anything on it in his garage without paying a parts changer at the dealership.
good simple old school bike and it has a single cam engine so you get the old school sound, Which the double cam engines simply cant mimic.
It would have an electronic ignition contained in one simple box mounted to the front of the frame and it's an evo which was built when Harley was still competing with the jap bikes for longevity instead of concentrating strictly on performance and screwing up everything in the process.
IF I were to want a bit more performance I would add an E-27 cam if doesn't already have one on it, Many people did back then. That's it, That's about all I would do. My guess is it's an 88 inch motor? Cant remember when they started the 96" motor?
They didn't use fuel injection until 1996.
I am old school and know that the more you do to a Harley engine, The more you will be forced to do to a Harley engine in the name of performance.
Myself, im a fan of longevity over ultra performance, Don't worry, It's plenty fast to kill you.
