    A note to new registrants...
    All new forum registrations must be activated via email before you have full access to the forum.

    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I would like to know how many sell for any price and are on the road. I've never seen anyone riding one of them.
I've seen more people riding Vincent Black Shadows than bobbers.
 
Unfortunately I do see them here all the time (or at least when it was warm), usually making more noise than forward velocity.
 
I think I have discovered the secrut formula to wishful thinking pricing.

"Bleu Book" value + amount owner spent in saw blades and krylon x greed factor.
 
This one might take the cake! $10,000?!?

"Needs finishing"?

More like needs never to have been started.
 
Nice strong sub frame.

Who'd spend $9k on a bike that couldn't:

Carry a passenger

Carry a sandwich or a six-pack

Do a 15 second quarter mile

???

"Don't worry, honey. We'll get the money back when I sell the bike."
 
I'm going to keep an eye one some of these to see if they actually sell. If so, I'm going into the bobber business.:triumphant: I figure all I need is a welder, a few cans of gross color flat rattle cans of paint and get it running.
 
No welder required for most of them. Just an old jigsaw. Maybe some JB weld if you are going to be upscale (don't forget to charge a premium).
 
Right now I have a great running 82 GS850GL that's in nice cosmetic condition as well and I'd be lucky to get $1500 for it. These bobbers and rat bikes just P!$$ me off.
