I bought a used 95 from my brother-inlaw for $10k which I thought was a good deal.
I wanted a used carburated bike that was chain driven and had lots of storage space and was slightly beat up so I did not have to worry about theft to much.
By the time I get it certified I will have spent another $3.5 K on it.
Things I knew about.
Tire replacement. $1000
Clutch/throttle cables. $225
Seat recovered $100
Unexpected things
S&S carb issues. $100
New S&S carb after bike fell off my lift. $1000
New speakers $125
New Coil/wires $75
Leaking front end. $800
Some may argue thats to much money and that I could have bought a newer bike, but its a Harley and its mine.
