y2kflhr is on a distinguished road
For 1000 its worth it, it probably needs a top end-all iron head sportys need valve jobs pretty often! tires, chain, etc etc.. If you are looking to make money on it forget it, I think its only worth about 3500-4K, when my 72 blew up it didn't pay to fix it, so I parted it out, engine cases were to badly cracked. I have a few friends who still have their 70's sportys and they run and run well! Having ridden one for years and the getting on a new one the old ones are alot more fun, just maintenance heavy, 500 miles tighten everything, then ride 500 miles. They are pretty easy to work on also. good luck
