[James t]

Hey guys I'm thinking about selling my 85 I'm in the Phoenix Chandler area it's all original no mods at all, it ran great a few months ago but it's developed a backfire from sitting, asking price is $6,000 I'm pretty firm on the price I'll just let it sit there if you're interested contact me here or my email thanks it has 5200 original miles [email protected]

A very-clean example! The side panels have been replaced, the '85 had the stamped-in VMax logo, instead of the glued-on emblems.

 

[James t]

No the side panels have never been replaced the stamped is underneath the emblems

 

[James t]

I know they've never been replaced because my brother was the original owner of this bike

 

[James t]

When I get home I can take a picture of the backside of the panels the stamped v max is there

 

[James t]

I probably have pictures of this bike in 85 when my brother bought it somewhere, and it clearly shows those side panels

 

[James t]

I know what you're saying though maybe the dealer we bought it from did this for some reason

 

[Fire-medic]

Hey, it's no big deal, they're still around as used parts if the new owner wanted to get them. Maybe your brother put the 1985's into a box somewhere, and installed a later set to prevent the theft of a hard-to-come-by pair of side covers. Maybe your brother installed the separate VMax emblems onto the '85's covers, because he liked the look better. A few allen screws removed and you will know.

I have a pair I picked up for a reasonable price, years ago. I've also seen them listed for $500 a pair in the Mid-Atlantic states, in the past.

 

[James t]

No I don't think you understand these are the original

 

[James t]

Anyway I guess it really doesn't matter I know they're the original I was there

 

[James t]

I'll take one off and show you the back of it it has the stamped v lettering on them

 

[James t]

Like I said I can probably come up with a picture in 85 with these on it as the original I guess it's really not a big deal but I'm just saying

 

[James t]

I didn't know the 85 side panels go for that much money, this bike was stored inside of a house as a matter of fact right in the family room from 1989 till about 2007 it was never touched all those years, like I said I didn't know the side panels were that desired thanks for the info

You don’t have to prove anything here…it’s not a big deal….secondly anyone who would pay $500 for those cheap flimsy covers is nuts.

 

[James t]

Yeah I wouldn't pay $500 for them, but yeah it's not a big deal thanks just thinking about selling the bike I don't use it much

 

[wilks]

Yeah I wouldn't pay $500 for them, but yeah it's not a big deal thanks just thinking about selling the bike I don't use it much

I’ve got an ‘06 been told the OE flamed tank cover is worth a lot….problem is you have to find someone to pay….asking isn’t selling.

good luck to you

Sharpest '85 I've ever seen. Very nice.

 

[James t]
