    a real nice special

    Been wondering when someone would post it here.

    Anyone got a good guess what final bid might be?

          That's a beauty, for sure. Barely broken in!


          Bet he wants at least 5k for it. He's probably putting it out there just to see what he can get for it.

            The seller says that his bike is one of the nicest ones out there. I would stack mine up against it, and he apparently doesn't know about this site, and all of the great looking bikes here. Randy's, Ken Talbot's, and Gerkenbruce's are a few others that come to mind.

              Yeah it is nice. The rear shocks are stock Special.

                  I dunno, lol ... I think it'd take more than a weekend to clean mine up that nice. But you know, she's old and allowed to show her age in some places. It's like she wearing her graying hair proudly.

                    Looks like the price didnt go high enough, or someone made an offer-cause now it says reserve not met and it has ended on the 29th.

                    guess he wanted 2500.00 or more.

                    its a nice bike but thats alot of dough to me for a 25 yo machine unless it has alot of extras and big bore etc.

                      Now if we were talking about that 1500 custom, I don't think anyone would have a problem paying $2500.00 for that one. Hell, if I had the cash and it were for sale, I'd pay 5 or 10 times that much for that beautiful beast.

                            Yea, the only thing that would bring up the value is the "artwork" on the bike. I had a POS blazer with some air brush work done to the hood and tailgate ... raised the value a whole $500.00. If my blazer had been in better condition, would have raised it more because it was a custom job.

                            IMHO, I wouldn't pay more $500.00 but the (so called) "art" on this bike. I just wasn't too impressed with it.
