Restoration Costs
Posted: Thu Feb 16, 2023 4:15 pmI've restored my share of early sportsters but nothing too recently. I do keep my eyes out for the hard to get items and buy them when I can. I bought a 53 K a few years ago from a friend who I helped restore it, and when I bought it I decided to take it to the next level and make it as accurate as possible thanks to the members here. At the time, I was taken back at the cost of K parts but I don't mind paying the price for the right parts if it does it justice. I'm sure glad I had that thought process as I follow the prices today of some of the things I've purchased not that long ago. Your restorations are worth more in pieces then they are a whole running bike. If you are the high bidder on some of Machivmotors 53 k parts on ebay right now, I tip my hat to you. I've often thought there should be a motorcycle restoration rehab center for people like me...but now I relize I don't have a problem and I can quit anytime I want. 
And that's my rant for today.
