    That frame is heap scabby. Wouldn't want to put any money into that even if the rest was kosher.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Would people really pay 22k for this ugly pos?

    Um, I figured if I took the pictures with the lights out you might buy it a drink like the 3am fat chick at the bar.
    Had a sparky look at the wiring. . . on my phone , in a bar, but he ran away.

    Redbook.co.nz says they were over $33k brand new in 2009. It only has 11,000 kms, looks well loved.

    Bet the dealer will take $19,999. Looking at TM for similar year softails $20k is not off the money - particularly as the Rocker is something different from HD (I recall it reviewing well in the rags) had a limited year run, and from seeing them in the flesh are one of the better detailed Hogs if that's your thing.

    It's as close as you'll ever get to a genuine factory 'chopper' (other than that sales flop of a Honda some years back).

    I don't know man - that model has the potential to end up like those Sportster Cafe models of the 80's. Or not, I can't pick em!!!!!

    A tad pedantic perhaps, but the type of anorak that loves these things should know the correct nomenclature.
    That's a Golden Flash. For some reason known only to the folks at Small Heath, the Star was Gold but the Flash was Golden.

    I don't believe that battery is period correct.. If someone is going to the lengths to restore this classic bike, don't whack a neon green fuckin' battery on it. At least find a black one

    I thought the appropriate method was to hollow out an old shell of a battery and mount a modern AGM battery inside it.

    You can buy replica battery cases, I run my 53 T'Bird total loss with LED lamps....oh the shame...and I used some metric fasteners too.
    DeMyer's Laws - an argument that consists primarily of rambling quotes isn't worth bothering with.

    Z2's are seriously rare - even in Japan I believe.
    The later Z750 is an enlarged Z650 and quite different.
