That would have to be it. Who would want those old ORIGINAL valves anyway?

I hope he gets $350,000 for the damn thing –
(I've got bikes to sell, too, and would like to see a strong market ...)
But there maybe only one punter out there willing to spend a third of a million on a 10 grand bike and I want to sell him one of my pieces of junk finely restored bikes.
If there is just 1 person willing ––––––––
Best case scenario: sell when you don't need to, and price high.
But hey, if you're selling, you want to see the prices.
Buying ? Wel then, any determination will be dependent upon YOUR moth-inhabited wallet, eh ?

They left the engine stock so it could be serviced at any H-D dealership.

But you have to be able to fold your body into a U shape, it looks like.

OK. A competent artistic exercise if a bit trite ...
But ... I've got a functional/ performance problem with the exhaust: Obviously bling & not tuned.
And .... wouldn't want to run it from here to Oklahoma (without pain-killers).
Looks Kewl, though.

I won't be buying either one !
