Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

the footpegs I ordered, are delayed. Thanks USPS

On the other hand, the 1" metal tube I ordered was too big. When I went to return it through Amazon, they told me to keep it. I guess Ill need to order some 1/2" for my saddlebag brackets

 

Finished up a project I will be giving my son for Christmas. A little history, I originally got similar names like this made for my groomsmen at my wedding (paid a guy),and then paid the same guy to make one for myself but with the chain that snapped and almost made me wreck/destroyed my R6.

Bike that snapped:

And the name made with the chain:

I figure now that I had my own welder I could make him one with the chain that came off my second bike, and was stolen several years ago.

Bike that was stolen and the old chain still on it:

It took quite some work to clean the chain up. Lots of surface rust from when it was sitting in an old storage unit. It's gotta be at least 10 years old or more. I made the stand because this is going to sit on the shelf above his crib and even though the name is stable and we won't have it on the edge, it's extra piece of mind in case Jersey somehow gets a major earthquake lol. It was fun making him something from my MC history.

 

nice Taco/dirtbike party in the desert this weekend:

 

That is ultra cool!

What do you guys think i could get for my bike (what would you price it at)?

2006 Sportster 1200XL Custom
9000 miles
12in TC bros narrow apes
Cycle Shack open drag pipes
Mustang Wide Touring solo seat
K&N filter

-also included
Ebay quick release sissybar
Harley Sundowner 2-up seat

 

6-8k ? Maybe a guess

 

Damn! Id love to get that for it. I was thinking about pricing at $5k but i know different regions have different prices. Im in west central texas. Are prices that high in VA?

 

Im not sure. Jumping on Craigslist now

 

Let me know. Ill deliver it for that kind of money!

 

07, 12k miles, $5k. So I guess you could ask higher.. Or Id start higher, and have a minimum in mind. If someone offers you less than your "higher" price, you take it (but more than your minimum)
