Default What would ‘PAY’?

83 FXDG.
I’m not asking what the ‘Value’ is based on KBB, NADA, Blackbook or any other source.

Without actually laying eyes on it, assuming it is in good running condition, what would you pay?

The asking is $10,995.00 and I’m considering making an offer of $8,500.00.

’83 disc glide best I can tell.

My offer would be lower than than what you are thinking, and probably wouldn’t get it, but I’m more interested in the cosmetics.

I'm not knowledgeable on shovels, and I like tourers better than cruisers. With the condition of the paint, I'd say, if it runs well, $3,500-$4000? Looks like about 20-something thousand miles on it. I've seen several "Disc Glides" getting some attention on this forum lately, perhaps they're rallying? I'm not sure how special they are. I'm just not an "FX"-anything kinda guy. I like my big, lunky bikes.

Did I win? LoL

First

you gotta like brown - second its not nice in the paint - sure its been ridden and well used

the brown primary is the up chuck for me i would pass on that first thing - but if he takes 8500 then its 2500 away from being real nice in your color of your choice but keep it in the family —- year and model

Thought we had a forum member that is seriously into that model. Hopefully he can chime in.

Looks pretty close tgo stock (san exhaust system anyway).

Thanks for the pics. I have an OEM speedo just like theone pictured. Can't remember where I even got it. At least now I can try and sell it with an idea of what it mounts to.
