WAY too much rust to deal with, IMO. Everything will be difficult to work on.

 

Personally, I think $2000 is too much money for that, so I'd say no, it's not worth buying. You could easily drop another 5 grand into it. For that money, you could get something newer and in better condition. It's your call, just my opinion.....

 

I agree with the majority. Remember, it's 2000$ right now. That puppy will probably jump up by hundreds at the last minute - definitely not worth it.

The close up pictures really tell the story, but there's no telling how much more you will have to do when you start digging more into it. I think the rule of thumb is to always expect more problems as you start to dig deeper into it.

"I will start the bidding at $.99!!!"

Now that would have been a much better price.

 

I would pass on it, looks kinda shady to me.
There is a nice rolling chassie for sale near Kimball Union School ( meriden, NH), on rt 120 work taking a look at if you want to build your own.

 

I'm thinking no, but I don't have the mechanical aptitude time or patience for a project bike.If you do, have at it.It would also make a difference if you could see and ride it. It very well could be an ugly bike that runs great or a steaming pile of crap you'd never know without riding it.I Know one thing that yellow paint would have to go.

 

Man .... where was that stored ? In a garage ? I dont have a garage and just bought a "cycle shelter" to put the bike in when Im not riding it ... Im in NC the winters arent that bad ... but damn .. I dont want my new baby to look like that ... ofcourse .. I already have a shed full of ******* chrome cleaner ....

 

I wouldn't buy it if it was free..........

 

i just got this one for 1600.00

Scrappy, send me an e-mail. Interested what you've done to your 883. Dave

 

I'd buy it, I love my '74 and I paid $2500 when it looked like this


I've got less than $4000 spent including the origanal price
