What would you have done in this situation? Drop a comment below!
im a mechanic i would have fixed it for my extra grand
@@ragimundvonwallat8961
X2 on that comment!
But if I wasn't a mechanic I probably would have been taking it to someone/shop who could have helped with just finding the leak.
I would of tighten the hose clamps
At least found the leak for a idea of repair cost before I sold it who knows you could have solved the issues
Hey Jon, on a serious note. Are you still getting my monthly donation? I had screwed up when i first opened it because i somehow started creating my own which I never intended to do, then had to cancel my own Patreon page, just want to make sure I'm still pledging. I was able to look on the patreon page so I think I am?
Honesty is always the best, so you did right. Me personally, I would have tried to see if it was an easy fix (hose, clamp, ext) first. Then gone from there. Kudos to you for being able to make money selling bikes. Me I can't ever sell anything for more that I paid.
Props to you for originally buying the bike for super good deal. I happily paid $8,700 for the samebike, year and milage (6 months ago) put with a stage 2 kit.
Just a heads up, it would have been a easy cheap fix, I had a 2007 night rod. It to was leaking coolant. The problem was the thermostat seized up, which the water pump built up enough pressure that the coolant pushed past the hose on the radiator making it leak. I can't remember how much the thermostat was but keep in mind Harley sales the housing as and thermostat as one piece......yes that's how Harley gouges it's customers. Anyways I don't think it cost more then $60 for it. Replace the thermostat housing tighten up your hoses and problem solved. So you let that bike go for super cheap for an easy fix.q
I had a vrod and really loved it. I'm getting another one if I find a good clean unit
Those bras on bikes or cars hold dirt and sand your paint as they move in the wind. That portion of the paint will be prepped for a new paint job!
Another great reason not to have the bra. Lol.
Man i havent been getting any notifications for youre vids at all but great video my man. my credit score getting pretty good from coming from 0 im over 700 rn :)
Heck yeah! Keep at it, bro! You're deaded in the right direction!
If we can assume the bike was laid down, we can assume the leak is most likely at the mounting tab weld. If you try to repair a mounting weld then it will always break again. If you see where the leak is coming from, and it's just a crack or thin spot, then repair is the best option if you know a welder. For $200 you can buy a new radiator and install it yourself. I wouldn't take a hit any greater than $200.
The bike had been tipped on the right side, but the leak was on the left. And the leak didn't start until after I had the bike a few months.
Did the radiator leak when it was running or parked? I only saw footage of a parked leak. I feel like even if the radiator might be leaking from the right side, the fact that it spends so much time parked leaning to the left might deceive a diagnosis of the leak location.
Everyone wins...The new buyer got a great deal and you made a few bucks 👍🏻 I hope you still keep the other V Rod 🙏🏻
Baffles me how cheap these are in the states. In Australia they’re selling for 40k all day long.
You did great. You made me post up my Stryker. Felt I did not need to hold on to alot of bikes. Too many out there and once ones coming out like that BMW an definitely replace the Stryker. My 2011 Stryker is for sale....Holla..4500..extra clean OBO
It sucks SOOOOO much now that Craigslist charges 5 bucks. In my area, the amount of posts has gone way way down.
Right!? I was wondering why listings had dropped so much. It had been a while since I posted anything and once I realized they were charging, it made sense. It was great while it lasted.
God, Do I miss the days of these bikes going for $7,300. Looking to pick one up with 1,000 miles for 13k lol. the other two I have bought have all been under five digits.
Way to be straight up. 👍
👨👩👧 ❤
I had a "Sportster " Bra on my 2001 Sportster 1200. It made the bike look great. I would have sold it as is rather than fixing it.
12,500 miles.., and a coolant leak..
😲... my goodness.. welp.. made the $ale... 😁👍
Hanging in there with the new baby... lol.. you look like i felt by my 3rd... 😥😫😩LOL... wishing you and yours the BEST holidays
Hahaha! Yeah, not sure what the deal was with the leak, but always a drag. The baby is good - keeping us awake and on our toes. Hahaha!
Depends...in this particular sitch where you're taking a G off the price I'm guessing it wasn't a hose leak, you did a little homework and the juice just wasn't worth the squeeze so I'm going with option 4. If I was on the buying end I'd be happy to get a break and fix it myself so win win. Plus now you don't chance scratching plastics, mess, clean up, runs to the parts store for miscellaneous items not accounted for or worst of all breaking something else because you're not familiar with the job. In a couple more years you'll be able to make a compilation video of cash flashing Mr Pimpalicious...Yeahya what ohhKay!
Hey Jon, sounds like you came out ok on this, but left money on the table. Circumstances vary, but I think I would have fixed the leak. Generally, on decent bikes most repairs are not worst case scenario. But hey...if you turned a few bucks to your satisfaction and the buyer is happy then you did good. Stay in the hunt. 👍
Yeah, definitely a bit of dinero on the table, but I've been so busy I was ok with how it panned out. You make some great points for sure!
Cool channel bro! I just subscribed. I already watched your v-rods videos but I can’t find the one with the buying price so can you tell me how much it was? (Black v-rod with coolant leak). Thank you and keep your coolness, great job.
Thanks, brotha! I paid $5500 for the black one with the leak. I appreciate the support!
if its a hose no big deal
I would have fixed it and thrown all the stock stuff back on and sold all the aftermarket stuff separately. Sounds like you're stretching yourself to thin to be in this market to make money. and if your flipping bikes, you should be buying at auction. That's where the real money is. Of course without risk theres little reward.
Yeah, I could definitely do better with selling parts separately when extras come with the bikes. I've probably missed out on thousands from that alone over the years. Generally, I have good enough margins to get by fine on these private party deals. Of course I'm not talking thousands in profits on each bike.
6.5k for a V-Rod... boy have the times changed. They are double now with supposedly no issues
I was thinking the same thing. I See a 2011 with 2k miles for 12k online. Thinking about grabbing it.
@@Regular_D09 I'd do it honestly 2k miles is brand new good luck to you
@@shaggypeach Yeah, the guy said he turned 61, and its just not for him at the moment. So I'll have to jump on it while I can. Was also looking at the 2021/22 Sportster S for the updated features. For 3k more, I can get a brand new bike with some pretty neat additions.
Is this a common issue? Looking to buy a 2008 vrsca
No matter what you do, being honest is always important. I would prolly get it fixed by certified mechanics.
Word!
Craiglist charges now? No wonder there hasn't been anything posted in my area recently.
My thoughts as well. I was wondering why pickings had been so slim. They started charging for cars/trucks back in april. I knew it was just a matter of time. Offerup charges after 3 postings in a month as well. The good ol days are no more.
Jon, probably just leaking from hose, 2min fix
Remember... Harley Davidson went to the Germans to build it.💰💰(🇺🇲)?
Bars Leak where is it leaking?
U look baked lol. Great video
Hahaha! Funny you mention it I cut it out but in my original edit I apologized for looking stoned. Lol. Just sleep deprived. This was between night shifts on only a few hours of sleep.
Love the green baby lol
Gotta be straight up that shit comes back on you if you don’t
I hate hate hate the extreme low ballers those same guys always think your stuff is worthless and theirs is made of pure gold and so rare that you would be lucky to be able to pay them a huge premium lol
Save the bra’s for the ladies they are junk lol
I’m not mechanical at all I just don’t have the patience to wrench
With something like that coolant leak I would have taken it to the dealership closest to me and looked into the fix even better yet working at a dealership for 7 years I know a few mechanics that would come over and fixed it for the cost of parts and a twelve pack of beer for us to split while he worked on it of course and possibly a pizza depending on how bad the damage was lol
Exactly! Not worth tarnishing the reputation over a few bucks. Plus, I've been on the other side and can't stand it.
You sell the orange one?
Yeah, I actually sold that one a while back.
Hey buenas tardes amigo I have a dyna super glide 2010 and I want it to have more hp, than I can do?
how much money do you want to put?
also do you have experience on working on bike or you will have the bike worked on?
@@ragimundvonwallat8961 maybe 2000dll
@@Balagardo93 what is dll i couldnt find it
@@Balagardo93 if it mean 2000 usd for 1600 usd you can get a 107 cubic inch big bore kit with the cams, totally the best for your money...you still have 400 left for pipes
The bra will likely scratch the paint in time
Hi bro 👍
Fix it
