Looks pretty darn original. At the current bid, prices are climbing....Too bad I built a hot rod instead of a resto.
I do see that the front brake cable is improperly routed, lol.

yeah he does. nice... actually rode my 70 to work today.
SOLD. $4200.
My buddy has dibs on my 70 IF i ever get rid of it (highly doubt its one of my faves). I told him about half of what that sold for. :whistle: might need to up that a bit. lol. (kidding).
Wow! Is that a realistic price or did somebody just get excited?
Though I'm thinking to get mine to the condition I want.. it may take about that or more.
on bring a trailer? sure. mines in almost the exact same shape with a dyna and everything mechanically has been serviced including swing-arm bushings, fork seals, etc. with paint a bit more faded, id never consider on an open sale taking less than 3500 for it. although mine has way better compression (142-145 both cyls).
