So, how would you value this?

[TapioK]

I was asked whether I would be interested in this,
2009 K9 EFI, chrome package, 2500 miles, super trapp exchaust.
What would be your educated estimate for the value?

$13,500 with the reflectors and downtube stickers, $14,500 without..

We'd all like to say 30k but...14k-15k depending on what gremlins have been sorted out that are known weak points? I think 12k is a killer deal and 15k might be top end of market. FWIW I just picked up an 06 Mastiff that is in great shape and just needed about $200 worth of basic maintenance (fork seals, tank mount) for 8k. I feel like I stole it.

But then I would need to sell my -08. In need of paint job, baker open primary, shaved cylinders, 585, 3.5"extensions, somewhat pitted chrome, wires plus, soon bold tire, new rear pulley, new dakota digital, chopper bars, good knows how many miles (about 30k I guess)...

How does the mastiff fit your wife? She have no issues being able to handle the bike?

 

[TapioK]

Making mine look like that would cost more than the price difference I think, excluding open primary.

So far so good but my wife is also a 6 time all American, champion barrel racer and now professional fitness model so...it's a bit easier for a 145lb chic who can front squat 225 for reps

I guess it would be a piece of cake for her..

Not personally, that is one downside, what to say the bloody bike is practically new... but I'm also afraid of EFI.

Looking at the second picture -- what's going on with the tank in the bottom left. Looks like damage/repair that wasn't done well.

 

[bdm7250]

Most of the k9s for sale are going for less than $15,000 there is one for sale near me with approx same miles solid black perfect condition for $12000 I'd say $12000 -$13,500

That's true..

I think that's the reflection giving an optical illusion, blow up the first picture and look at the same area.

I think u might be seeing reflection.. zoom In.. but I'd put the bike between 12.5k to 14k.. don't know what the market is for u in ur area

 

[bigkelk9]

I personally don't care for the paint at all.. kinda looks like rat rod gone wrong.. but it's a very very clean bike for sure

 

[bigkelk9]

It's the same all over it's a buyers market not a sellers market that's for sure

I agree.. sad but true..

Was trying to zoom in on picture gallery

Don't see it here, maybe it is a reflection or a shadow
It does kind of look like the flow of the tank is bit different on the rear. Could it be because of the fuel pump?

I'm not crazy about the paint either, like my red frame better too.

 

[bdm7250]

It's a reflection for sure, I'd be a little Leary of the fuel injection it seems they are problematic especialy as of lately but that's jmo

Doesn't seem like S&S had FI dialled in, FI Ironhorses are problematic as well..

Agree on the EFI. I like the idea that a super G is a lawn mower carb on steroids (as an old chopper head I know told me once) so it's easy to work on. The EHC is really the only weak point, and I think we got that sorted mostly. Adding the EFI to the mix seems like too much space ship for a motor based on 1956 tech.
