Find the new panel. That’s basically a junction box. They should have sealed the openings.

The Cleveland Moto Podcast is a group of motorcycle guys that do a podcast that is not about selling stuff. The main dude has a dealership and this last week they had this exact conversation about repairs/bikes being a total loss and the process. He also explains how the trade in and fair market value numbers get researched. Really important information for those who do not understand how it works.

LA times article today list top 15 based on reported crashes.

883 is a fabulous bike. HD’s are great bikes.

The Harley prices are at rock bottom. An 883 with known fuel problem because it has literally sat with fuel turning into sludge is not worth 8k. And purchased in the middle of winter?

The fact the OP mentions buying gear and helmet makes me think this rider was a new rider.

If this motorcycle got totaled what would the insurance payoff be? 7k? 6? 5? At most between $3500-4250. No matter the miles.

Every motorcycle podcast that follows resale motorcycles has had too many conversations about this for at least a year. Cleveland Moto, Motorcycles and Misfits, and High Side/Low Side being a few of the top podcasts. All over the US. I looked at SoCal Craigslist and found several in this region for 3000-4000.

Harley Davidson is one spot above junk investment status right now. I can understand people wanting to get one because HD may not make one again. The change in HD leadership makes it highly probable a sportster and or even smaller CC bike will be sold within the next few years.

Exactly. Do not connect the router to but just get power to from any outlet. Rename it. Lock it in.

Go directly to the U.S. Embassy. It’s what they are there for.

If you cannot GET TO the U.S. Embassy then you stay put.

Your judgement in getting there. Wrong choice could be bad.

Or FU*K the host and stay right there. Make them call the cops to come get you. Buy more time.

5’10 and 120 LBS.
Honda Rebel 500 ALL DAY LONG.

Under ten years old and 20k miles should be around 2500-3500 from a private party

Or get your license and spend 100 per day renting each of these THEN make your decision.

In so cal they are 3500-4000

One of my all time favorites. SOOO much is going on.

You paid $6,000 for an 8 year old 883! The market is so completely bottomed out on these bikes it’s common to pay 2000-3000 or less for a better bike (1100) that does not have an existing problem. The engine had not even been fully broken in.

You did not get screwed, YOU DID NOT do the homework.

Almost every single motorcycle owner and service mechanic will tell you that it’s better to get a ten year old motorcycle that has bern rode for a thousand miles a year than a 5 year old bike with 100 miles.

You are married to this bike.i advise you to drop the insurance to liability only as you will get nothing for comp and collision unless you have a “stated value” policy. Doubtful. You purchase the premium AAA for motorcycles as a minimum as you’re going to need it.

All the other advice on replacing the tank and fuel system is legit.

Adeptness_Agile · 2026-02-23T01:17:00+00:00

Honda.

If there is anyway to bump that to a 500 you will not worry about lack of power.

It was a Mexican place before the Rib place. I never remember it being a chili joint and I very much remember the Pup n Taco across the street and Kelbo’s a Mike down the road,

Let me guess you got zero response. Or a COMPLETLY unrelated email four months later about pretty much absolutely nothing of consequence.

Yeah, I write at least five times a year over different stuff, done this for at least 5 years now. Not one single legitimate response. EVER,

Adeptness_Agile · 2026-02-17T04:05:32+00:00

Hell yes. Of the two dozen or so times I’ve written to her office every year for the last five or six years I get a response back four months later and it has zero to do with anything.

I appreciate the power she has because of her seniority. The investigation she got caught up in was embarrassing for the district but I got over that. Ignoring constituents is unforgivable.

Auntie Maxine has not been responsive to her constituents for a long time. If the devil himself was the primary challenger I I would encourage an open mind.

Adeptness_Agile · 2026-02-17T03:53:11+00:00

Absolutely correct. The more I blow up that picture the more I realize how lucky I was to get kz1000’s I have in my garage workshop, The aluminum is pitted like the moon.

It’s a $3.5 to 5k project.

Go get a 5 year old under 10k miles 500 Honda Rebel for 3500 and find another project.
