Hey guys
Thought I would post here since I do value your input on things such as this.
The Sidecar has been on the market for the better part of a month as it's sitting and taking up valuable garage space. The dog still has no interest in motor powered anything so I'm officially going to move on from the sidecar project, for now.
So side car was listed for sale or trade and have been offered some odd stuff but nothing too interesting.
Last night a gentleman reached out and asked if I would be interested in trading a good running 1994 Sportster 1200 XL. He sent me some videos of it running well and pictures, seems to be in good shape, the only 2 issues I could pick up on was 1) it looked to be a rattle can job done poorly (I can fix that) and 2) the odometer is unreadable. It has 31K miles allegedly. Seams reasonable for a Sportster of it's vintage.
Here is the best pic he sent me.:
Relatively clean, no rips and the paint is workable.
I obviously really have no intention of welcoming a Sportster into the heard but when I booked it these bikes go for $3600 to $5500. I checked Marketplace and Craigslist and these bikes are indeed going for those numbers.
Might make a cool flip or just something cool to just run. I know these are carbureted and that concerns me slightly as I have absolutely 0 experience with Carb'd Harleys.
Anything to look out for, any issues I should take an extra look at? Any input on the bike would be most helpful.
Thanks,
