i bought my 56 pan after it sat in the owners basement for 7 years. wrecked front end. loaded it up and sprayed it off at the 25 cent car wash on the way to my friends house. we put it up on a milk crate in his kitchen and took the front end of , installed new battery and it started on the third kick. rebuildt that bike right there in his kitchen. best $1000 motorcycle ever. those days are long gone now.

It depends on the Harley. A run of the mill Twinkie, probably not. There's a million of 'em out there.


Now a Panhead, Flathead or Knucklehead, or even a relatively rare Evo, absolutely.
