Default 1980 Harley Trike.....$2600

Once again, it's not mine, never seen it, don't know the guy. But WOW, $2600 for a trike seems like a great deal. Do any of you guys see any potential problems with this "Harley Trike"?

Non-running Honda trike, mostly cobbled together.
They could pay me about that much to take it.

From the ad "1980 Harley Trike. Starts right up. Almost completely overhauled. Some finishing work needed. $2600 OBO"

Where did you get it doesn't run?
Where did you get it's a Honda?

That right there's a steal of a deal. I can't think of there being any issues with buying it. I'm sure the title and everything associated is in order. Just imagine the collector value in a few years. Boy, sure do wish I had the money.

If it has a Harley frame, then it would have been titled as a Harley.

Default Looks rough

Worth 500 if it runs. More trouble than it' s worth, at that price. Imho

Looks like two neighbors got together, drank about 2 cases of beer, and decided to "build" something with the junk they found after their wives made them both finally clean out the backyard shed.
