Beater 1st Gen - Rapid River, MI

[RedRider]

Ran across an '83 in the U.P. yesterday. Was driving past a shop that apparently does custom motorcycle work. They had several beautiful Harley-based customs on the lot. I think the owner was a little miffed when I went over to look at the beater 1st Gen instead of the expensive Milwaukee Iron sitting around.

 

The 1st Gen was his daily rider and he didn't seem to like it. He also didn't know much about it (claimed it was an '82 - not likely).

 

And... he would like to sell it.

 

It is kind of beat up. 54000 miles. 2nd gear shot. Been down on the right side. Trunk had been removed but he had it. Fairing is rashed on the right side, mirror broken, saddlebag on right side is scratched (not fully rashed, but you would tell it went down). Didn't look like it had a bath for years.

 

He flipantly said - $500.

 

Might be worth it for parts or for a fixer-UPper (pun intended).

 

Owner's name is Stanley Constantino. Shop # 906-474-9955. Cell # 906-399-0887. Located in Rapid River, MI (near WI border).

 

My charity work is done for today.

By the right fairing being rashed, does that mean completely shot?

Didn't seem to be, but I didn't look to closely. I wasn't looking to buy and the guy was in a hurry to do something else - as was I.
