I am going to look at an 1987 883 Sporty on Saturday. The guy wants $3,000 for it. The pictures of the bike look nice and is local to me, but $3K seems high for a bike with 60K miles. On the other hand, $3K is about the least a running Sporty sells for around here. My plans are to make a Sportster Scrambler out of it.
Any perspectives from the group?

I don't know how far your willing to travel to pick one up, but you can use searchtempest.com and search all of Craigslist. If you are not familiar with it, you put in your zip code - distance from your zip code - search term - and dollar amount ranges and see what is available within your predefined criteria. I bought a 2006 883 for $3775 with low mileage. Asking price was $4000.
