Here is my current 08

Well I guess that’s another accessory

Thanks for the info it does have a center stand not sure what brand, and trailer hitch . We’re hitches stock? I got him to accept 1,350 I am thinking about doing it. The ventures have a lot of goodies . I don’t now if they were stock, leather for tank and trunk, chrome trim for front fender and around rear bags. It will be work replacing motor, but the fact that it comes with a motor ready to drop in is a plus. That’s a lot of bike for 1,350

Pm me I may have an option for you with a motor

Went and looked at bike lit has all the goodies and is in nice shape, no dents just some nicks here and there. extra motor is a match. I offered 1,300 not a penny more. Everything is there to make it run again but it’s is a project.

Looks like more than just a motor swap.

Ya he sent me picture

Hmm that’s a lot for a motor

it’s down to decision time. 1,500 And a project, like I have posted bike is supposed. To be super clean with all sick parts, has the nice seats no button holes. Engine is supposed to have low miles and all valves adjusted. Bike base trailer hitch , radio, CB, No, he pulled it off I believe to start and didn’t finish.

Well it’s down to decision time. 1,500 And a project, like I have posted bike is supposed. To be super clean with all sick parts, has the nice seats no button holes. Engine is supposed to have low miles and all valves adjusted. Bike has trailer hitch , radio, CB, leather pouches what do you think, should I pull the trigger.

I am not sure why they would adjust, I am going to have to ask that. I would think at 5000 miles they wouldn’t need to be adjusted. but I suspect the same, it was out.

Update, well he still wants 1,500 what I did find out though is he had his mechanic adjust and set valves on motor. it’s supposed to have come from a shop parting out bike and had 5,000 miles. I may just bite the bullet and buy. It will be a good project and at least I will no how to work on the bikes. that and it does have luggage guards. Tow hitch and the bike has 20.000 so not a lot.

I offered 1,200 said he would pass but call me if he needed the money

I do like the bike as it has the nice seats, and hard bag protection, extra lighting drivers backrest, all the normal bells and whistles. So all done it will be a nice bike. I agree though they are not a mover. I would be more tempted to part out and keep the extras for my RSTD. I am going to stick to 1,200 as that’s what I think motor, trunk and front faring are worth.

I agree

Update: He doesn’t want to go below 1,500 my thought is it’s a 99 , shop rate probably 2,000 and parts, me week 1/2 $300 parts $1500 of my time That’s 1800 of my time plus’s 1500 , that’s what the bike is worth. So it’s a wash. For me 1,200 is like tops. I could take what I want for my bike and part out , break even. But I have a frame and other parts I would probably be struck with. it’s a ok deal at 1500 if I don’t care about my time. But these bike take some time to sell and I see 07 going for 4,000. It’s not really a money maker at 1,500 Correct me if my thinking Is off. 1,200 I think is reasonable and gives me a little room.

Well He doesn’t want to go below 1,500 my thought is it’s a 99 , ship rate probably 2,000 and parts, me week 1/2 $300 parts $1500 of my time That’s 1800 of my time plus’s 1500 , that’s what the bike is worth. So it’s a wash. For me 1,200 is like tops I could take what I want for my bike and break even. but I have a frame and other parts I would probably be struck with.

I agree, With that. He paid 600.00 for motor it was pulled from a running bike that was wrecked. Motor has 5,000 miles on it. His friend is a mechanic and checked and adjusted valves on motors. It’s supposed to be ready to drop in. bike is complete and in very nice condition as far as paint Ect. I am very tempted to buy. As far as working on it. That’s not a problem I have rebuilt many carbs, transmissions and engine. But you know how that goes. it’s not a weekend project, carbs need to be cleaned, synced, fluids changed Ect. I agree probable 300-500. so 2000 is about right, really if I sell a 99 depending on shape 3,500-4,500 tops. Not a lot of profit for the work, but I do love a challenge. I am tempted.

Yes I am asking him about the history of the used motor, he said he purchased from. Local shop, so he should have some kind of info. I have an 08 RSTD so don’t really need another bike. So that’s the question do I want to do the work. it would cost 2.000 maybe more for shop so at 1,500 I would need to do the work.

Ya he will do 1,500 So if motor is good then your thought is it a 700.00 bike with bad motor a trunk set up is worth that

So you think a 99 is worth 3,500-4000? I know en engine swap is no small task on these bikes. bit I do get a motor would be 800.00 plus.

I have reposted in CL-eBay link forum thanks

Hey all, I have a local guy who has a 99 Venture 8/10 condition. Motor is bad. He purchased one from a local shop with 5,000 miles. He wants 1,600 for all. I think that’s high considering I would have to do all the work and transport. I have to look at it like I may part out. What do you think it’s worth as is? I offered 1,200
