    Assuming it's in excellent condition, a bike like that should bring in somewhere between $3800 and $4300. It's a great bike and since it was made before 2000 it won't have a catalytic converter. Those gear driven cams are sexy!! Pics please when you have a chance.

    Regards,
    Rollin

    I bought my 98 early this summer. It came with the rear cowl and an 2 Brothers high mount exhaust (which I replaced with a Delvekic). It needed tires and a serious chain cleaning. It had 15k on the clock when I bought it, a few scrapes and I paid $3800 for it. I think it was a fair price, not fantastic but fair.

    Nope, I gave it to 78EDGES. He PM'ed me about it a month or so ago.

    I kept the mid pipe. He got the muffler and mounting clamp.

    Very good condition,16.5 miles,2 bros pipe,.
    Missing tool kit and the undertail is hacked up half assed are the only things I need to deal with.
    $2700
    I custom fabricated a plastic cement mixing tray from lowes for 5 bucks and made an undertail out of it!(came out sweet!)
    Ordered a stock tool kit from a honda stealership on-line,70 bucks.Now I have to wait for it to come in so I can adjust the chain.(loose as hell,I don't think the guy I got it from had the tool to adjust it either.)
    Better picture
