Anyone see that NOS -66a frame on eBay? Would be neat to keep in the crate if you had the space and disposable income.

Pretty nice! Can get some idea of the black paint shade. They have a lot of nice dresses for sale also. :lol:

If they have dresses it must be from a dealership

Howard Belmont was originally a Harley dealer in Minneapolis Minnesota.

Apologies in advance for nit picking, but to keep the record correct, back in the day the downtown HD dealerships in the Twin Cities were Belmont's in St Paul and Egeberg's in Minneapolis.

Re that Frame/Cardboard box, and off on a slight tangent: I'm in the far north of Australia, a place called Cairns, on the tropical coast. I have a '74 XLH which I'm retro styling to resemble a 1967 model. Forgive me for that, there's hope yet I may end up with the genuine article. I never realised there was such a group of dedicated (and jovial) fanatics until I joined this site. I recently found out just how many older parts are available on ebay (fleecebay?) for pre'70's Sportsters. I'm in touch with an ebay "Hobbyist" who has no less than 14 frames, 14 motors and shelves full of dismantled engines/other parts. He is only one of several similar sellers. It concerns me that so many Sportys are being dismantled for extra profits, but sadly I guess it's an opportunity for people like me to assemble one piece by piece. My reason for all the chatter is: What is a reasonable price to pay for a mid 60's frame and a side issue is how much is a reasonable '60's XLCH motor worth (assuming it's not blown up or got cracked cases)? And if I sound like a completely brainless novice, please correct my direction constructively

Hi Kevin. Welcome aboard. It is very disturbing to me the number of vintage Ks being stripped by dismantlers. XLs also. Particularly when they separate trap doors from original cases and other such stupidity. They should be shot for that. They make the money though! A nice frame like that can be had for about $500-750 and I've seen complete engines from around $1-2K. Yes EBeer is packed with XL parts. Prices are down especially XL stuff. I've seen later complete Sportsters running and ready for $1500! On Internet. :shock: Not the 50s or 60s ones but deals are everywhere. Cheers, Erik K
