A local bike shop has a 98 S1 that they have taken the Engine, Wheels, Forks and triple trees from to make a chopper. The bodywork and wiring is intact including a Penske shock, what do you guys think its worth?

Penske worth about $450-500. Rest of bike maybe another $500 if bodywork is perfect.

Er, just for clarification, is that the leftovers or the chopper you are wondering about?

Is the title going with the frame or staying with the engine?

Phoneman, if you can pick it up for no more than a thousand, it will cost you about 5,000 to 6,500 to restore depending on the type of parts you are using, and whether or not you go new or used. Still a pretty good deal for basically a new bike.

Restore? Its a frame & bodywork.

You can pick up real nice running S1's for under $4000, sometimes even less than $3000.

It would make a good project bike if you could get it cheap. It always seems easier to spend a little at a time than a lot all at once. a good sportster engine a couple of grand, wheels and tires can be had for less than seven hundred, forks and triple trees for less than a five hundred. If you shopped around you could have a decent bike for about less than 4 grand and some work. A lot of this stuff pops on e-bay for sale

I'd guess that there are enough parts in BWB garages to put that S1 back together. Good opportunity to put some decent forks up front and some light weight Marchesini wheels. A Brembo caliper grabbin' a BrakeTech cast iron rotor. Excellent opportunity to put a chain drive in place. I'd bet Mr. Wilson and crew have an engine for sale that would be worthy of an S1.
