1.Okay everyone I have a 72 or 74 (not sure have to run the vin) Sportster XLH completley torn down to the frame engine might need a rebuild not sure but at least a freshening up. What do you think this bike would be worth?

2. The other bike is a 69 Sportster XLCH on a chopper frame the engines a magneto if that is a significant factor again completley torn down and missing trans id consider this a parts bike. Again whats it worth?

Would really appreciate any coments you have also. Thanks Chris

 

Do you mean worth as in you are going to try and sell them? What kind of worth are you looking for?

 

For the 1972 or 1974: The 1st & 2nd digits in the VIN indicate the model - 3A = XL or XLH, 4A = XLCH.
the 3rd thru 7th digits indicate the production number. The last 2 digits indicate the year - H2 = 1972, H4 = 1974. Either way, basket case Sporty from this era is worth about $1000 - $1500 max, less if it needs an engine overhaul.

1969 chop rigid frame w/o tranny guts - $500 to $1000 depending on condition of engine, and what kind of rigid frame.

Those are my opinions on the price. Your may differ.
