Roadmaster Reproduction

[PCHiggin]

Pat, I wiegh 210 and mine feels very rigid and , a little more solid than my original 53 Phantom. I wouldnt worry about the strength of the bike. Mine is for sale for $595.00 but, I am in Texas and I dont want to mess with shipping. I am only selling mine becasue I need the money.
I have read threads posted by people that were involved in the R&D of the 1998 LL and they stated that the original tooling and fixtures were used. I have no reason to doubt them about that.

I'd like to read those threads/posts. I can't find anything about it. I'm assuming the o/g tools were steel and they were either refurbished or remade. I doubt they would have made new steel tools for 6200 parts,they probably used kirksite if new tools were needed.

I only go about a buck 70 and I can tell you hands down my Roadmaster is the best riding of all my bikes. I collect what I call fancy balloners i.e. springer, tank, lights and have four Phantoms, a Monark, a Hawthorne, and some Columbia Five Stars in addition to some non-springer bikes e.g. Shelby, Dayton, Elgins---and I ride'm all! v/r Shawn

Does anyone here know what the current market value is on one of these that's NIB and never opened?

Thanks for any help!

the term reproduction is overused,inaccurate and antiquated,the term was valid for judging somthing that was remade years ago when the things being made usually werent that good,a tribute would be a more acurate term,both bikes have there own place an sereve well in that arena,not everyone has the depth of conviction to the hobby to warrant the arge investment to an og piece,a tribute bike is an excellent value and i dont see many ppl triyin to pass them off as riginals
