  • 💭 Found a Harley Sportster at the auction and decided to see it in person. Whether this bike is worth the headache is still up for debate.

    it's insane how big a difference a clean title makes. Bike can be trash but it would still be worth more than a pristine salvage bike

  • @RobsRidesPA

    The clean title bike is well worth the extra $600. Here in PA, reconstructed title means it's worth about 1/2 of what a clean title bike is worth. I've done this several times and that has always worked out to be case, so you have to be really careful buying salvage title bikes.

    Without question there will be a lot more damage than can be seen. Very likely there is frame damage or at least front fork damage requiring replacement. Almost without exception, the cost to repair this kind of damage is significantly more than first 'guesstimated'. Caveat Emptor.

    Belt sprocket smaller is to large and take regular size tank it doesn’t matter if tank is dented you would be stopping for gas every
    45 miles peanut tank looks good but isn’t efficient you get mad stopping for gas and if your on good ride hey fellas I need gas .. lol 😂 wooo whooo

    Nooooooooo! In the current market it will be a struggle to get $4500 for that bike with salvage title. OEM speedometer is going to be very expensive. The tank is toast. Those trees are mid glide and not narrow glide so the fork trees are not as common and cheap. Good thing is plenty of people have removed their OEM 2.1 gallon tanks in favor of larger tanks. Should be able to find a clean one on market place for $100-$300. To me not worth it but you'll get great content at least. Clicking to the next vid now.

    You might wanna check out prices on Harley parts. They are anything but "cheap". You're paying for the Harley name. Take it from a sportster owner. I would've passed on this bike, if it were me. Just my .02

    • @BrandonBicasso
      @BrandonBicasso  7 місяців тому

      Depends on how you look at it. Was paying $400 for a upper triple on Chief. Can find them for $60 on Sportster. There’s potential in it.

    For a full custom barhopper with apes and all the trimmings its an okay buy. For reselling it's trash. Salvage title kills the value.

      @matzrat5006 I know what you mean. I still have my Sporty and I've got a Victory Jackpot that's heavier than the Sportster. Looks Sporty as hell, but at about 675 lbs it doesn't handle like the sportster. I love them both though for different reasons.
