Let's play the price is right
Supposedly NOS, XLCH, never used set of cases with a "68" casting number. I bet the guy gets $5K+ for em. I don't know if they're worth that or not, I know they aren't to me. But who knows.....They're worth whatever someone will pay, right?
It just amazes me that this kind of stuff is till floating around. Any other guesses on price?

I've been watching those and am surprised the price has gone that high. What are you going to do with them. They really don't have any value for a restoration, as someone would have to stamp there own numbers and a good judge (or law enforcement official) would spot it right away. Or you could get a state title, and then you just have poorly titled set of Sportster cases.
I agree that they're kind of cool, though.

I don't really know how the "legal" part of buying motor casings like this works. Can someone educate me? In 68 didn't Harley title the motors? Do you have to get something like an MSO to match this to make it legal? If no number was ever stamped on them, do you have to get it stamped by your state agency, and they issue you a title with the numbers they stamp on it? Or you put it in a later frame that has a title? How about if you want an all correct 68, and yours has a blown out case, and is titled to that blown out case, can you somehow make these cases legal.
I'm not interested in the cases though, I bid $1351.00  |

before 70 titled by engine number so he must get pre 70 frame to title by engine,
no numbers so it will depend on the state it gets titled in as to the procedure |
