Anyone,
Opinions on this electra glide for sale?
asking about 11000 usd, located in Norway but a lot of pictures if anyone has time for a quick look.
Seems to be s&s heads, but I not familiar with the shovels, and not sure of this would be an okay price.

Looks to be all there, except the heel shift peg, which is no big deal. Very good condition on the outside. Hopefully it's just as nice on the inside. 12k miles is not really a lot. I can't read Norwegian so I don't know what the writeup says, and I don't know the going rate for such a bike in Norway. Here in the US I think $11,000 is a lot to pay for a cone shovelhead (not that there's anything wrong with them, but the generator shovels are more collectible). For that money it better not need much work. There are a few accessories like the fuel caps and hand grips that aren't my taste, but that's all subjective and easily replaceable if you're inclined.

Thank you very much for your reply. I think I will keep focus on my Panhead for a while.

I wasn't trying to discourage you from checking out the shovelhead. Why not check it out? (unless it's too far away or too much of a hassle to do so). I was just saying it seemed like a high price, based on what I know living and playing with H-D's in the USA. For example; a couple of years ago I payed 6,000 for a 1968 shovelhead and that was considered pretty much the high end of acceptable based on the condition of the bike (tore down to frame and in several boxes). Also, S&S heads are very good.
