JB4XX Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Wow, that bike is banged up. Were you hurt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFT Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 What's your definition of a "low speed" low side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choppertoo Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 It looks worse that it is. it happend as i was pulling off the road into the gravel/dirt as soon as the front wheel hit the gravel it washed out, the gravel was several inches deep. I was able to step off the bike and did not even get a scrach on me. How many people low side on one of these and dont brake or crack the stator cover? I had to ride it over 100 miles to get home.

JB4XX Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 That price would be good without the damage. Its about 1500-2000 high as is IMOH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byrdman Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 That price would be good without the damage. Its about 1500-2000 high as is IMOH. Agreed. We all love our XX's but with that kind of damage, the year of the bike, and the mileage! I think your a bit high! Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOXXIC Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 That price would be good without the damage. Its about 1500-2000 high as is IMOH. HMMMMM, wonder what a '97 with 54k miles is worth? gonna sell the wheels? If you part this 1998 let me know how much for the HIID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryG Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 yeah for that price you'll have to be very patient. Got my '98 XX for 3100 and not a scratch on it really with 1/2 the miles of yours.....but then again I got a schweet deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redbird Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Add a front fender and (I'm guessing) a mirror to that and you're getting close to $1200, plus shipping. Then there's labor to consider, whether you do it yourself or pay someone, it is a consideration. Honestly, your best bet is to fix it yourself or be prepared to take a pretty big hit on it.

bartonmd Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Yep, I paid $2600 for my '97 with 5,000 miles on it, 3 years ago... it had been lowsided, but had everything to fix it, and all I had to do was put it together... Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
