Just like the title says, up for sale is a single-crank pin American Classic Edition (ACE) v-twin cruiser in excellent condition.
I am the original owner, and it has only 6,675 miles.
New OEM petcock and battery.
The carbs were also just cleaned.
All modifications are just add-ons/accessories.
If the buyer wants the bike to be stock, all they have to do is remove the accessories.
The accessories include:
• Memphis Shades quick release windshield
• Engine guards and highway foot pegs
• Willie & Max Saddle bags (not installed/see the fifth to last picture)
• Rear Luggage Rack
• Seat Covers (the installed top rear seat cover is missing two buttons, but I have and am including a brand-new rear top cover too (see the fourth to last and third to last pictures)) – and the original seats underneath are in pristine condition.
• Light bar kit
• 3 Removable (within seconds) blackjack cling decals (and there isn’t any sun damage beneath these or around them either)
• Manual Throttle Lock/Cruise Control
This of course has a clean title.
I planned on replacing the tires before listing, but thought it would make more sense for me to just reduce the price so that the buyer could purchase the tires that they actually wanted, in lieu of me making that decision for them.
The tires indeed need to be replaced.
The bike also comes with an extra gas tank (that has been in storage since basically new), 5 extra tank emblems (2 are on the extra tank), extra turn signals, fender extensions, a rear running light conversion kit, pegs, an raggedy motorcycle cover, 15 quarts of oil, and some more extras.
That extra tank alone is worth at least $1000.
If you don’t want any of the extras I mentioned in this paragraph, I can reduce the price by $500.
Without all the bullet-point accessories and all the extras listed in the paragraph above accounted for, the NADA value for is $5,780 - https://www.

By the way, yes, those are indeed original miles – the value methodologies do not account for the options (“base style”) and actually use “typical mileage,” which this has, by far, under.
And, I have looked around quite a bit both this and last year (on Facebook marketplace, Craigstlist, Cycletrader, etc).
This is a rare color combo available only in 1997.
I didn’t even use any chrome polish or wax before photographing, so the bike can be cleaned up even more.
It’s very tough to find one like this in this condition, with this mileage, with this many upgrades, and in this color combination.
This is a very nice bike and is priced to sell at $5,250.
I’d happy to answer any questions (texting is best at my work number (442) 999-00SevenNine) or show it any morning.
If this is posted, it is still for sale.
Thanks for looking!
