    G.day guys,

    I.m going to do a trade in on my old bus for a harley,

    The guy reckons it.s $22k.s worth.

    1990 custom softtail....new s&s motor, new 6 speed trans, new clutch, new shocks, new rear tyre, needs new paint.

    It looks sweet apart from not perfect paint.

    What do you think?

    Cheers

    Dave

    Ahh ok sorry, In my opinion I wouldn't pay that much, only because of the 6 speed and S&S motor, unless it was a full on chopper, but that's me.
    Make sure the S&S motor matches the rego papers other wise you'll have to go through the rigmarole of doing that.
    I paid $17.500 for a 1997 FXDWG with just under 30000k's in fairly original cond. that's what a good evo is worth...

    Thanks,

    How much is the S&S + Trans worth new? (fitted)

    unless you particularly want an S&S motor i think it sounds over priced, like DLUX said , you should be able to get a newer bike than that for the money, shop around , they're out there

    My bus worth $24k, his bike worth $22k ..........I get the bike plus $2k....

    If I do the deal there is no way I can onsell the bike for $22k right?

    No mate you'd never get $22k for it, maybe $16k tops on a good day how many K's on the speedo???

    Thanks for the input

    Mate if you get 24k for the bus, we can get you into a new superglide for that .

    Billy bus, I'm a bit late on this one, but I agree with all of the above. Flog the bus and buy a good secondhand Harley. Also, consider putting the money down on a new bike, with that sort of deposit money you could get a real nice bike set up with the usual changes. At least you know the bike then.
