It's because the techs they hire are younger, and some weren't born when those bikes were in style. And the customer may not want to pay big money to fix everything it will needs, plus very few OEM parts are still available if any. Gasket leaks are mostly from age or not allowing the motor to warm up before riding them. I had a lifter wheel come apart on my '93 Ultra Classic. Messed up the whole motor, I had to do a reman- engine to get back on the road. You can get high miles out of those motors if you take care of it right. To me, I wouldn't pay almost 5k for it tho, it's real easy to get upside down in an old bike. But if you just can't live without it, enjoy the heck out of it.,,,
