Is this $3k Custom Roadie on CL for real? 4 Years, 11 Months ago  
This seem a little too good to be true. If I had the money, I'd snatch it up.

If I was close by, I would go by just to see it. I'd have cash in hand if it was after test riding it.

Usually if it sounds too good to be true...
There are lots of scams on CL, proceed with caution.

Highly unlikely to be legit, the wheels alone are worth that!!
Does look awesome!

Could get lucky and find out its a divorce sale, better to give it away, than let her have it

Lack of details and phone number make it look suspicious, but lots of pictures are usually a good sign. Check it out with a throw-away email account, if anything. Sounds way too good to be true, but you never know...

Other then the seats, wheels, light, and bars, it's a stripped 10 year old Roadie. As we see here all the time, mods are almost disposable when it comes to resale. I'd bring a friend, if I was going to have a look, and was carrying cash. You can buy a fully dressed Road Star geezer glide for about 5k that's that vintage.

Theres alot of scams out there. But some folks on here posted one of those to good to be true deals off of CL as well. Thought it was a scam cause I never heard a call back in a week. Guy claimed he didn't know how to use a computer. I thought it was funny cause how did he get ad on CL! It was a 2007 under 4000 miles and in excellent"like new"condition and he was asking 4500.00. So took a chance and hooked up trailer and drove to Penn. Long story short, it was from a divorce and ad was actually legit. That bike is now setting in my garage and got the bike even cheaper than what he was asking! So the deals are out there ad don't hurt to check them out.... just got to be careful!

Just to be safe, you may also what to pre-check the Vin number to insure it's not stolen before you make the trek to see the bike. When you're there double check the title.
