thought that one had been sold to someone on the south coast last year - is it expensive ? it's cheaper than a hurricane, it is what it is and it is complete !

seen them for a more in the states

[chilly]

Cheers Mort ,spose it would be cheaper than a Hurricane its only got two cylinders

[the_monster]

lol but the boattail has even more fibreglass than the hurricane

[Mutley]

It's worth what someone would pay for it. If I could spend £18,000 without Mrs. Mutley removing parts of my anatomy I'd buy it

The Boat Tail didn't last long did it?

Just 2 years. '71 & '72.

..and used on Sportsters as well don't forget.

...And for most of 1972 it was an option.

That is way over the top on price. There have maybe been only 2 or 3 sold in the UK in the last 20yrs as far as I can recall, the others fetching around ten grand.

But then again, if you really want one, another isn't gonna appear here in a hurry.

I saw two (from Connecticut and Mass.) in Sparkling America trim like that parked next to eachother in Milwaukee at the 100th party 9 years ago. Quite a sight!
