    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.

The builder(wrecker) probably asked for tech advice here and got his feelings hurt…

It has already been mentioned, but here is the picture for the "truth in advertising". :-k

NADA good is $3,055 & very good is $6,285. Most of those CL bikes are probably in the good to very good range.


An NADA-excellent 100%-correct trailer-queen show bike might be worth $12k, but CL is not the place to sell that type of bike.


There is a sweet-looking one-owner 1985 VMax on Cycle Trader for $5,900.
Starting with a very good bike & chroming everything can cost serious $$$, but it doesn’t necessarily do much to the value.
If I was in the market for a VMax, I’d prefer the sweet-looking one-owner bike over the CL bike irrespective of the cost.

It's absurdly overpriced, but it's certainly no garden variety beater.
 
Actually, there is a bit of genius in putting the fender there. :-k

On street-going motorcycles, most flat tires are on the rear. That is because the front tire will roll over something and stand it up on end, just in time for the rear to run it over. Having a deflector in front of the rear tire will reduce that a bit.

On a couple of my previous bikes, I had a mud flap extension on the front fender that almost dragged the pavement. In fact, the outer corners were beveled by the pavement while going through curves. After installing the extension, I never had another flat on the rear.

I just noticed the tank says Harley Davidson. It's not - I can tell from the style of the engine.

Most of the bike is rather Suzuki-ish, but it certainly does appear that the gas tank is a Harley tank.

Doesn't look like the original (2.5 gal) "Peanut" tank, but even if it is the 'large' (3.5 gal), as someone pointed out, it looks like a third of the fuel can never be accessed.

If this doesn't sum up the Harley culture...

I would love to ride to an idyllic place and enjoy a few drinks.... but then I'd be camped out for hours waiting until I could ride again....

I have taken coffee to a quiet morning spot a couple of times.
