Hi guys- I spend most of my time over on the panhead side but I got a question for you guys over here. I've been offered a chance to buy a 1945WL flathead from a guy that runs a small bike repair and sporting goods shop here locally. He's a pretty straight up guy that I've known for six years.
The bike has original paint (not very nice) and all the original accesorys. He tells me he hasn't had it running for about 10yrs and the carb needed work when he put it away. But assures me it will run. He wants 11k for it. Sounds kind of steep to me but I don't know squat about the value of this year bike. Is that price out of line..? If so what would you think it's worth..? I'm looking for a winter project but don't want to do the deer in the headlights thing.-Steve
