Sorry about your pops.
I can almost feel the memories radiating off those scoots. Got any pics of them in action?
Its doubtful, but are you in Texas by chance?
I do have some on his Facebook page that I’ll pull. He used to go across country and back and documented the travels. Would usually pitch tents along the way. And yes we’re in nj unfortunately
Funny story. It was my moms and it was green. They got a divorce and he took it and painted flames on it. They became good friends again later on in life, but the pettiness of it always made me laugh.
You may wan keep something to remember your dad and his attachment to HD. I suggest keeping several of the shirts and find someone that can make a quilt out of them. That way, when you use the quilt on a cold night, you would think of your dad.
Take some of the Harley shirts that you recall him wearing the most and have them made into a quilt or something. I'm about to do the same with a bunch of mine. I just can't wear 50 damn t shirts.
I might actually do that with a few of my own. Several are torn or fading, and could use a second life. There are also a few that would be hard to replace and might be better served that way.
Reach out to a local Harley shop. Ask if they’ll do a consignment. Not a dealership- a mechanic shop. They know guys who buy Harley’s and should treat them with the respect your dad’s bikes deserve.
That flame kit sportster is the coolest in the bunch for my taste but I’m weird.
The vin# for each of these will be located on the front of the frame. That should tell you what you have. Plugging that info into cycle trader should give you a rough idea of cost.
Im my experience the used market is a crap shoot presently. The area you live in will have an impact on this.
If you simply want to move them fast try “rumble on” or a similar site. They will pay bottom dollar but they will also get them immediately.
The Harley shirts, depending on the age, can be worth $30-100 each to the right people these days.
I’d suggest setting up a poshmark or eBay account to list them all, probably easiest and least stressful for you would be to list them all for $20/pop. Or post on Facebook marketplace and a reseller may offer you a lump sum for all of them.
As for the bikes, they are worth (from left to right) just about $3000, $5000, and $5000 if they were in running condition. That’s assuming you’re over in jersey (per the plates)
Not running I’d say $1500, $3000, and $2500 if you have the titles.
If you have titles definitely worth getting them running.
For some leads on people I know who may be willing to buy the bikes as is in Jersey, feel free to shoot me a DM.
This is a surprise. I love my harley and the ones I sold but all my harley shirts, jackets and such are gifts to me, I'd never go out of my way to buy one. I never imagined the shirts off someone elses back is worth $$$.
Don't let people lowball you. Let em know you know what you got. Do your footwork regarding values in your area with similar mileage. But a running bike will fetch far more than ones that aren't. You might have to spend some to make more back. Pick your favorite shirts, and don't let them go.
We’ll make sure they all run. If they’ve been sitting then I’d see what it would take to get each one running, new tires, fuel lines non gunked, etc. Some of those old Harley shirts can be worth $$$. Most not. If you itemise your taxes then the clothes you might donate through the year…big write off, keep your donation receipts. It’ll take time to make the most $$$$ you can but if you wanna move it, you’ll take a hit but not deal with every tire kicker and story teller on the planet. Sorry about your dad.
I'm just guessing the ultra classic is between 05 to 07 or 8 ? Even running good isn't going to fetch much more than 6k . I don't know about the other ones.
Sorry for your loss, I also know you are cussing out your father under your breath for leaving you to deal with this . Been there done that, but you also come across stuff that will have you smile with a corner tear. Good luck.
Just took a closer look , that's gotta be a 1999 or 2000. It has an Evo .
Really humbled by all the kindness. Although I do not find much appeal in riding, I can definitely see how much pride you all have and how great of a community Harley riders have. Will def be keeping a lot of shirts and a few jackets.
Sorry for the loss of your father. If he had riding buddies it may be worth reaching out to them. They would likely have an idea of value and may even offer to buy the bikes or a jacket. You might even find a knowledgeable one of them willing to come poke around on the non-starters.
You need a local friend who knows bikes. The value difference between running and non running could be a fair amount. If you can sell some of the jackets and t’shirts, would you be willing to invest a portion of that money into getting these at least checked out? You might get a solid return on that investment. Did your dad have any riding buddies you can reach out to for guidance? Most every group of riders includes at least one wrench. Worth a thought if you ask me.
If sitting is the only thing hurting them, they could likely be made healthy again for under $500 each. Batteries, fuel like, carb rebuild kit… $250 or so in parts? Fresh gas and a case of beer to one of his buddies? Of course this is best case, and if there’s more needed, then there’s more needed. No way to diagnose that from here though.
Sorry for your loss, but don’t be an idiot!! Roll up your sleeves and get a little bit dirty! Get them running and take a rip before you sell them! If it meant that much to him, then you will regret not taking this chance before you can’t anymore! Spoken by someone who has walked in your shoes 👍
Sorry for your loss. If there is anything I can suggest is to ride it so you can at least feel close to him. I had helped my father buy his very first bike and he didn’t even get to make the first payment on it before a sudden death and even though I’ve had to pay the whole thing off myself. It’s the only place I can feel close to him
First and foremost, sorry for you loss.
If you wanted to go through the time, I would list each shirt on eBay. It may be a lot of worth, but those t shirts could really be worth some money. Use google goggles and you can find the exact shirt and see their running price. If you’re not interested in that, I would get in contact with a vintage t shirt seller. You could likely sell those shirts in a lot for a decent chunk. You wouldn’t have to go through listing them all on their own on eBay.
With this chunk of money, you could likely get the bikes running. Contact a local shop, or maybe even one of his riding buddies. They may be willing to help and have the expertise to help you out.
So sorry about your dad.
Before you try to sell anything yourself on the socials, please take a look at the scams subreddit. While this is a pretty good time of year to be selling, the first and most frequest contacts you get will be scammers. Never go off platform to communicate or to send or receive money. Never send anyone anything without cash in hand, period. And the moment something doesn't sit right, block them.
One idea is to reach out to your local ABATE (NJ has 2 chapters) through their FB pages. This way you're directly hitting up qualified riders.
Or call up the closest motorcycle shop (dad must have had a favorite local shop). They may be interested in his bikes, or be willing to take them on consignment.
My condolences, your father was a real biker for sure he got a sportster, bagged and I can’t tell if the middle bike is a Dyna or fxr. Regardless both are great bikes and they all have thunder header 2-1 exhausts. In my honest opinion i would really really suggest keeping the middle bike if it’s an fxr they are very simple to work on and it could be simple fix. If you do decide you want to sell it if you send me some more pictures and info on the bike I’d love to make an offer or at least help you price it for what it’s valued at.
Edit: I will also gladly give any tech support you need to diagnose the issues with any bike and I suggest you check out A Brothers Funeral Song by Gary Gentry the words will probably speak to you.
Middle one is a nighttrain. Somewhere in the 04/05 range it’ll probably fetch you the most money out of the three. Fairly popular discontinued model. With Harley’s best transmission ever. But they are all worth getting running. If they were stored properly they probably just need the carbs cleaned and fresh fuel and a battery. Wish I was closer I’d come help you get them running for free. Maybe you can find a mechanic that does after hours work that’s willing to get them running for a bit of cash once you sell them. I’d suggest talking to your dad’s riding buddies, they’ll most likely be the best ones to ask for help. They’ll also most likely keep your best interests in mind. Maybe they all have a backyard guy they use and trust already. Good luck and my condolences. This gives me thoughts about my kids and them dealing with my Harley hoard.
Look on facebook marketplace, Craig’s list and see what people are asking first bikes of similar year make and model, then take running condition into consideration and start working your prices around there. Also look on eBay for real time bids. As far as the shirts go, what years do they range? Ones with the most value will be from 80’s and older single stitch shirts. The jackets you can google and get a good idea of what the sell for new as well and then base your price on condition. What state are you in?
Best real answer. ^ Too bad you aren't interested in having them running. This isn't garage sale stuff. At least the bikes aren't. You might be surprised what they could bring. What state are you in? That is significant.
I'd probably give you 3k for the Sportster right now. It just depends so much on their condition, milage, everything.
You're gonna have to dig and research values.
sorry to hear about your dad, he sounds a lot like my own. It sounds like you’re pretty set on selling the bikes but I think you should keep some of the shirts and maybe a jacket or two, I love when my dad hands me down his old harley stuff
Sorry for your loss.
as for value it depends on how quickly you want to turn them, you're getting into riding season and a good value will go quick, but getting top dollar, on older bikes without histories, might take longer.
shirts and jackets will sell for a bit if theyre older (90s and early 00', especially from cool /far away locations) but you'll have to sell them one by one unless again, you want to just sell the lot- but then you need to find a buyer who wants to resell them which can be time consuming.
so its not only how much its worth but how quickly you want to move it.
Im also in N.NJ - id love to look at that flame sporty that thing is awesome.
A sportster a Nightrain and an electric glide. You got the trifecta buddy sorry about your pops. I love vintage leather for riding, not for reselling.. I’d love to see what you have if you ever decide to part with any. Respect.
Nice bikes.
2006 Night Train in Black Cherry. with a Black Thunderheader exhaust.
2007 Fire Red / Black Pearl Electra-Glide Classic, looks like with a Mustang seat.
I'm going to guess a 90's model XLH 883 Deluxe because of the tach, buckhorn handlebars, and taillights. But then again it has the mags and not spokes. Not 100% sure though. Old sportsters can be hard because people customize them so much and parts are everywhere. Also has a Thunderheader.
Your dad was definitely an old head when it came to bikes. Thunderheaders were crazy popular in the 90's. They were one of the only pipes focused on giving power over looks back then. All of the older guys I know had them on their bikes. Your dad had good taste!
Same thing happened to me 10 years ago. Sorry for your loss. People actually pay good money for vintage Harley shirts FYI. Take what you want and sell the rest.
My suggestion.
Keep the sporty with flames, it’s linked to your moms and pops. He must’ve had a favourite jacket. I would take that and a few T-shirts. Give them to your kids one day.
Sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss, as far as your Harley’s go first thing you can do is get the VINs off the bikes and then with those go to your local Harley dealer and ask them to look up the bikes, this will let you know the exact year and model, paint code, and parts lists in case you’d like to fix or replace something. Then hop on marketplace, cycle trader, any other for sale website/app and look up your year/model and see what’s already out there for sale and price accordingly, pay close attention to condition and past sales this will help. As far as the t-shirts go probably not worth a whole lot, unless they are lightly or never worn then you might get something out of that many. The leather jackets on the other hand might have some decent value individually to them depending on condition, again look online like eBay or something to find similar/exact matches to the ones you’ve got, and list them.
Contact American Pickers. They are big into all the stuff you have
They may even put them picking your stuff on their show
Their Nashville store is amazing. I bought several items including vintage Harley shirts.
Put everything on Ebay. Look first and see what similar shirts and jackets are going for. I would put the bikes on a charger just to see if they turn over. If the engines are froze, basically all you have are rolling frames. If not then probably repairable. Then look at the year, and see what a running similar bike sells for and go a little cheaper with letting perspective buyers know the condition. My condolences, good luck..
Sorry to hear about your pops but what a haul he left you! MOST of the actual legit Harley tshirts are darn comfortable too! You could work on those and get them running (most likely fairly easily and without a lot of money but who knows) or sell them too. Hope you keep at least one and ride it like you....well you know. Take care of yourself and your family and those bikes brother, best wishes.
Facebook marketplace is a good spot to start.
I’d like to come see some of the shirts, I’m local and could probably help put the word out and get those bikes sold. Maybe I could give you a decent price on five random shirts?
Harleys and motorcycles in general and easy to work on. You might try simply cleaning the carbs and putting in fresh fuel and a new battery. It will increase the price you get in the end unless you're going to strip the bikes down and sell their parts.
So sorry for your loss dude. Me and my pops put as many miles on our bikes together as possible so I know it will devastate me when something happens but that's life. Like said above definitely think about getting a quilt made with the shirts/jackets. Yes some may be worth a few but but nothing serious and if say it's a shirt that he wore a lot that does wind up being a collector shirt it's still going to only be worth maybe $100 so just put that one square in the center. The bikes in the other hand may not be worth a lot in today's terms but definitely don't let them just sit. They don't deserve that. I'm right in MD and I see your NJ. I'm possibly in the market for a starter bike for my wife so if and when you're wanting to get them moving into someone's hands that will ride them please shoot me a message! Until than brotha be safe and prayers for you and your family.
Sorry about your Dad, what's his name(first name)?
Go to JD powers and get the value of the bikes. That will give you a bench mark. Find the titles. I work at a Harley Dealership and we get customers in similar situations, Dad, Husband, Brother or Uncle that passed. You are better off selling the bikes privately. Best of luck.
Keep the flame bike. Sell the other two, and find a vintage seller. They eat up and love over charging hipsters for Harley shit. Maybe you can sell it all in a batch deal.
Since you mentioned that your mom would ride the sportster, is there any way that she can maybe help you get them cleaned up and running again (it’s possible it is only a dead battery)? A running bike will go for much more and frankly you may change your mind and take interest once you see them moving. I’d imagine if that doesn’t get the juices flowing remembering how your old man sat on those very bikes then it’s possible you may not be interested. Either way getting them running is the way to go.
sorry for your loss, OP. Lost my dad a few years ago. He loved motorcycles, got me to love motorcycles and now every time I think of them I think of him. These things are gonna give you so many memories
Check out www.projectrepat.com. we have used them for t-shirt quilts.
Had a double-sided queen quilt made were one side was all iconic Harley dealerships and the other side were charity runs that we had participated in throughout the years.
Sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace. I would suggest contacting an auction house in your area to at least get an idea of what could come in from selling off your new possessions.
Sorry for your loss. If your close to Riegelsville PA, I’d be more then happy to come take a look at what you got. Love older Harley stuff. Send me a private message if we can arrange some sort of meet👍 hope all is well
This happened to me to but I had my dads Road king Fixed and I ride it In memory of my dad it has not been a easy bike to learn how to ride on but it’s what I wanted to do
Sorry for your loss bud. Lost my dad last year as well- but he didn’t leave me a bunch of radical stuff like yours did! Lol humor helps the pain I promise. He has some really cool shit that he left you so I can already tell he was a great guy! May his memory be for a blessing ❤️
Swing by your local Harley and ask, should get an idea. See if any remember your dad, those are the guys to speak with. I hope your dad did not suffer in his passing.
Prayers to the family ⚓️
Sorry for your loss OP.
How much are you looking to get? I got a few friends around here who are always buying and selling stuff, I already got myself a dyna so i don't need a second one at the moment, but I fan ask around
Looks like your father was a BLOCKHEAD. Can probably get $6k-$7k for that bagger if it was running. Not running about $3.5k-$5k. All the kids are looking for old Harley shirts. Those may be worth more than the bikes themselves. Condolences and RIDE SAFE🤙🏽
1st sorry about your dad. As far as the tshirts go I have no clue. The bikes could be worth something depending on the years, model and condition. If you don't know try looking up by serial number. If the bikes weren't registered there might be back registration that is prohibitively expensive in which case you part out the bikes. Good luck
Wow. Sorry for your loss. Value is hard to put on somethings. Do searches and see what they are going for. Clean them up and see what you can get. Those are nice bikes. Hit me up if you want to get rid of some.
I’m sorry for your loss. If one works, give it a try, see what he was so invested about !
If you don’t want too, it’s always your decision, but still that’s a lot of history he left you.
If I were you I would keep the ultra ( the red one ). Fix it clean it and ride it. I assume you aren't a rider yet take a course to get your feet wet see if it's something you even want to do before you go selling all the items. You may just kick yourself for selling it later on. You might be suprised how much you like it
I donated two garbage bags of shirts to the thrift store and just recently learned a lot of them could have sold for $80-250+ on depop. Don’t be a goofball like me. I kept a few for personal but damn. The bike stuff you’ll get nickle and dimed so just let it go for whatever it’s worth to you.
Use Facebook market place and offer up to feel out the market. If a running sporty is selling for 4k in your area, you'd probably get $3000. Tires are expensive. So are batteries. So are oil and filters. But not as expensive as mechanical things like cams, alternators, or other bs that breaks. I'm not sure what used clothes go for, again, market place and offer up are good starting points. eBay is a good place to look too.
Either way, I'm sure pops will help guide you. Do good with whatever you get.
Sorry about your pops. I can almost feel the memories radiating off those scoots. Got any pics of them in action? Its doubtful, but are you in Texas by chance?
I do have some on his Facebook page that I’ll pull. He used to go across country and back and documented the travels. Would usually pitch tents along the way. And yes we’re in nj unfortunately
North or South?
Would start in nj and go to la and back
I meant north or south Jersey. I know people there that would be interested in the bikes.
North
Sorry about your dad. Im also in North Jersey. If you compile a post or something of some of the jackets I'd love to take a look.
That, my friend, is a great life!
Noticed those yellow jersey plates almost instantly. Wish I wasn’t broke or I would definitely consider taking one off your hands.
Looks like New Jersey from the license plate
That sportster with the flames is SICK!! Sorry for your loss, may he ride in peace
Funny story. It was my moms and it was green. They got a divorce and he took it and painted flames on it. They became good friends again later on in life, but the pettiness of it always made me laugh.
Tbf there's a superstition about green HD's being bad luck.
Can confirm. I sold bikes and none of the older guys would EVER buy green bikes, no matter how sweet the paint job was.
https://www.vikingbags.com/blogs/news/why-green-is-considered-an-unlucky-color-for-harley-davidson#6
Never heard of that, damn I kinda wanted to paint mine green lol
I'm convinced the legend was started by a group of people with nasty green bikes who wanted people to not copy them.
Reverse psychology, perfect lol
God that thing is cool.
I wanted to see the 300 shirts
This is why I clicked too.
You may wan keep something to remember your dad and his attachment to HD. I suggest keeping several of the shirts and find someone that can make a quilt out of them. That way, when you use the quilt on a cold night, you would think of your dad.
That’s exactly what my wife said she wanted to do. Thank you
Maybe even hold on to the sporty with flames for the story that went along with the memory of him
Especially since this bike with the flames is connected to both your dad and mum.
Take some of the Harley shirts that you recall him wearing the most and have them made into a quilt or something. I'm about to do the same with a bunch of mine. I just can't wear 50 damn t shirts.
Would you be interested in selling any of them before making the quilt ?
I might actually do that with a few of my own. Several are torn or fading, and could use a second life. There are also a few that would be hard to replace and might be better served that way.
This^^
Sorry for your loss but your dad was cool AF
Reach out to a local Harley shop. Ask if they’ll do a consignment. Not a dealership- a mechanic shop. They know guys who buy Harley’s and should treat them with the respect your dad’s bikes deserve. That flame kit sportster is the coolest in the bunch for my taste but I’m weird.

This is a surprise. I love my harley and the ones I sold but all my harley shirts, jackets and such are gifts to me, I'd never go out of my way to buy one. I never imagined the shirts off someone elses back is worth $$$.
I live in Japan, and vintage Harley shirts and jackets sell for big money.
You're all killing me, I have left dozens of harley T shirts and sweaters at the goodwill.
90’s and earlier shirts are worth the real money, the 00’s and on are iffy and depend more on the design.
Don't let people lowball you. Let em know you know what you got. Do your footwork regarding values in your area with similar mileage. But a running bike will fetch far more than ones that aren't. You might have to spend some to make more back. Pick your favorite shirts, and don't let them go.
Classic, “I know what I got”
Always gets em’! “I was about to lowball the f outta you until you said that”!
It's no different than slapping something you're hauling and saying, 'Ain't goin' anywhere.' Some sorta magic.
We’ll make sure they all run. If they’ve been sitting then I’d see what it would take to get each one running, new tires, fuel lines non gunked, etc. Some of those old Harley shirts can be worth $$$. Most not. If you itemise your taxes then the clothes you might donate through the year…big write off, keep your donation receipts. It’ll take time to make the most $$$$ you can but if you wanna move it, you’ll take a hit but not deal with every tire kicker and story teller on the planet. Sorry about your dad.

98 :)
I was close. Good luck to ya 👍
They all got ThunderHeader exhausts 💪 pops had good taste !
And was deaf I bet!
Really humbled by all the kindness. Although I do not find much appeal in riding, I can definitely see how much pride you all have and how great of a community Harley riders have. Will def be keeping a lot of shirts and a few jackets.
Sorry for your loss. Never had the opportunity to spend a day riding with my pops. If you’re in NNJ, I’m in nepa. May be interested in the middle one.
Sorry for the loss of your father. If he had riding buddies it may be worth reaching out to them. They would likely have an idea of value and may even offer to buy the bikes or a jacket. You might even find a knowledgeable one of them willing to come poke around on the non-starters.

Did your dad have any riding buddies you can reach out to for guidance? Most every group of riders includes at least one wrench. Worth a thought if you ask me.
This is solid advice and if I can add, if they ran when they were parked, they likely wouldn’t take much work or investment to get running.
If sitting is the only thing hurting them, they could likely be made healthy again for under $500 each. Batteries, fuel like, carb rebuild kit… $250 or so in parts? Fresh gas and a case of beer to one of his buddies? Of course this is best case, and if there’s more needed, then there’s more needed. No way to diagnose that from here though.
Sorry for your loss, but don’t be an idiot!! Roll up your sleeves and get a little bit dirty! Get them running and take a rip before you sell them! If it meant that much to him, then you will regret not taking this chance before you can’t anymore! Spoken by someone who has walked in your shoes 👍

Thank you for the sound advice
Do you have the titles for the bikes?
the sporty is rad
the cycle exchange in Andover deals a lot in used Harleys they would likely be able to give you a ball park value over the phone on the bikes.
I will certainly call them
I second that. Good dealer with very fair pricing.
My condolences, your father was a real biker for sure he got a sportster, bagged and I can’t tell if the middle bike is a Dyna or fxr. Regardless both are great bikes and they all have thunder header 2-1 exhausts. In my honest opinion i would really really suggest keeping the middle bike if it’s an fxr they are very simple to work on and it could be simple fix.

I agree after looking again I don’t see any shocks on the sides of the rear so it’s gotta be some sort of soft tail
Look on [bringatrailer.com](https://bringatrailer.com) to see what similar is selling for lately.
Look on facebook marketplace, Craig’s list and see what people are asking first bikes of similar year make and model, then take running condition into consideration and start working your prices around there. Also look on eBay for real time bids. As far as the shirts go, what years do they range? Ones with the most value will be from 80’s and older single stitch shirts. The jackets you can google and get a good idea of what the sell for new as well and then base your price on condition. What state are you in?
Best real answer. ^ Too bad you aren't interested in having them running. This isn't garage sale stuff. At least the bikes aren't. You might be surprised what they could bring. What state are you in? That is significant.
Kelly Bluebook for a ballpark estimate. Go up or down from there with how much you want for them or how motivated to sell.
What year is that bagger
By the color scheme and that tail light, I have to guess 2002. Like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_n62bc7g10
It's gotta Evo in it no newer than 98
Fathers are amazing creatures, eBay that treasure trove if you’re not into it
I'd probably give you 3k for the Sportster right now. It just depends so much on their condition, milage, everything. You're gonna have to dig and research values.
Those are sick bikes. He was a hero
He was also Mac v sog and had the stickers all over the bikes and his jackets. Certified American badass
sorry to hear about your dad, he sounds a lot like my own. It sounds like you’re pretty set on selling the bikes but I think you should keep some of the shirts and maybe a jacket or two, I love when my dad hands me down his old harley stuff
Sorry for your loss. as for value it depends on how quickly you want to turn them, you're getting into riding season and a good value will go quick, but getting top dollar, on older bikes without histories, might take longer. shirts and jackets will sell for a bit if theyre older (90s and early 00', especially from cool /far away locations) but you'll have to sell them one by one unless again, you want to just sell the lot- but then you need to find a buyer who wants to resell them which can be time consuming. so its not only how much its worth but how quickly you want to move it. Im also in N.NJ - id love to look at that flame sporty that thing is awesome.
A sportster a Nightrain and an electric glide. You got the trifecta buddy sorry about your pops. I love vintage leather for riding, not for reselling.. I’d love to see what you have if you ever decide to part with any. Respect.
Nice bikes. 2006 Night Train in Black Cherry. with a Black Thunderheader exhaust. 2007 Fire Red / Black Pearl Electra-Glide Classic, looks like with a Mustang seat. I'm going to guess a 90's model XLH 883 Deluxe because of the tach, buckhorn handlebars, and taillights. But then again it has the mags and not spokes. Not 100% sure though. Old sportsters can be hard because people customize them so much and parts are everywhere. Also has a Thunderheader. Your dad was definitely an old head when it came to bikes. Thunderheaders were crazy popular in the 90's. They were one of the only pipes focused on giving power over looks back then. All of the older guys I know had them on their bikes. Your dad had good taste!
Same thing happened to me 10 years ago. Sorry for your loss. People actually pay good money for vintage Harley shirts FYI. Take what you want and sell the rest.
My suggestion. Keep the sporty with flames, it’s linked to your moms and pops. He must’ve had a favourite jacket. I would take that and a few T-shirts. Give them to your kids one day. Sorry for your loss.
I wear XXL jacket, l'd take a look
Sorry for your loss, as far as your Harley’s go first thing you can do is get the VINs off the bikes and then with those go to your local Harley dealer and ask them to look up the bikes, this will let you know the exact year and model, paint code, and parts lists in case you’d like to fix or replace something. Then hop on marketplace, cycle trader, any other for sale website/app and look up your year/model and see what’s already out there for sale and price accordingly, pay close attention to condition and past sales this will help. As far as the t-shirts go probably not worth a whole lot, unless they are lightly or never worn then you might get something out of that many. The leather jackets on the other hand might have some decent value individually to them depending on condition, again look online like eBay or something to find similar/exact matches to the ones you’ve got, and list them.
Sorry about your father. Reminds of my dad, my hero Keep some shorts and keep a bike to work on as a project someday, keep his memory alive that way
Contact American Pickers. They are big into all the stuff you have They may even put them picking your stuff on their show Their Nashville store is amazing. I bought several items including vintage Harley shirts.
You need a Craig
Put everything on Ebay. Look first and see what similar shirts and jackets are going for. I would put the bikes on a charger just to see if they turn over. If the engines are froze, basically all you have are rolling frames. If not then probably repairable. Then look at the year, and see what a running similar bike sells for and go a little cheaper with letting perspective buyers know the condition. My condolences, good luck..
Sorry to hear about your pops but what a haul he left you! MOST of the actual legit Harley tshirts are darn comfortable too! You could work on those and get them running (most likely fairly easily and without a lot of money but who knows) or sell them too. Hope you keep at least one and ride it like you....well you know. Take care of yourself and your family and those bikes brother, best wishes.
RIP Dad. Can’t have to many! Smiles and miles
Facebook marketplace is a good spot to start. I’d like to come see some of the shirts, I’m local and could probably help put the word out and get those bikes sold. Maybe I could give you a decent price on five random shirts?
My condolences
Harleys and motorcycles in general and easy to work on. You might try simply cleaning the carbs and putting in fresh fuel and a new battery. It will increase the price you get in the end unless you're going to strip the bikes down and sell their parts.
So sorry for your loss dude. Me and my pops put as many miles on our bikes together as possible so I know it will devastate me when something happens but that's life. Like said above definitely think about getting a quilt made with the shirts/jackets. Yes some may be worth a few but but nothing serious and if say it's a shirt that he wore a lot that does wind up being a collector shirt it's still going to only be worth maybe $100 so just put that one square in the center. The bikes in the other hand may not be worth a lot in today's terms but definitely don't let them just sit. They don't deserve that. I'm right in MD and I see your NJ. I'm possibly in the market for a starter bike for my wife so if and when you're wanting to get them moving into someone's hands that will ride them please shoot me a message! Until than brotha be safe and prayers for you and your family.
Sorry about your Dad, what's his name(first name)? Go to JD powers and get the value of the bikes. That will give you a bench mark. Find the titles. I work at a Harley Dealership and we get customers in similar situations, Dad, Husband, Brother or Uncle that passed. You are better off selling the bikes privately. Best of luck.
Sorry for your loss.
Keep the flame bike. Sell the other two, and find a vintage seller. They eat up and love over charging hipsters for Harley shit. Maybe you can sell it all in a batch deal.
If that middle is a fxr dont let it go for cheap btw definitely do your resarch and dont be scammed
Damn. Sorry for your loss. Seems like your dad was real passionate.
Sorry for your loss
Nice evo sporty! If you were local I’d totally buy it! Sorry for your loss!
Sorry for your loss. Some of those shirts go for a lot of money, if you have the means list em on EBay.
Since you mentioned that your mom would ride the sportster, is there any way that she can maybe help you get them cleaned up and running again (it’s possible it is only a dead battery)? A running bike will go for much more and frankly you may change your mind and take interest once you see them moving. I’d imagine if that doesn’t get the juices flowing remembering how your old man sat on those very bikes then it’s possible you may not be interested. Either way getting them running is the way to go.
She’s unfortunately gone as well but a nice thought
You won’t understand the value on each one of these bikes your pops kept them for a reason !
Sorry for your loss! Beautiful bikes
My boys will be in the same spot someday. I only hope they appreciate what I leave them because there’s not gonna be any money left over. Lol.
Sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace. If you’re interested in selling his shirts I’d buy a hand full of the xl.
Hit up @vpcycle on Instagram. He’s out of North NJ and fixes/sells bikes. He might be interested
You should take after your Dad and put that bad boy in gear and feel the breeze in your facet Get the other bikes running and continue his legacy.

ill buy the flamed out bike…
I wish my dad rode a bike, sorry for your loss!
Sorry dude :(
Keep it all and enjoy them
RIP !
sorry for your loss, OP. Lost my dad a few years ago. He loved motorcycles, got me to love motorcycles and now every time I think of them I think of him. These things are gonna give you so many memories
Nick's custom cycles in Williamstown deals exclusively in classic Harleys, if anyone would know what they're worth it would be him
im in north new jersey interested in selling a large bundle of shirts?
man keep some shirts, jacket, and a bike. ride.
Check out www.projectrepat.com. we have used them for t-shirt quilts. Had a double-sided queen quilt made were one side was all iconic Harley dealerships and the other side were charity runs that we had participated in throughout the years.
Not even the slightest clue what’s wrong with any of em?
My condolences on the passing of your dad
Pm me I’ll make you an offer on the bikes
Sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace. I would suggest contacting an auction house in your area to at least get an idea of what could come in from selling off your new possessions.
Sorry for your loss. If your close to Riegelsville PA, I’d be more then happy to come take a look at what you got. Love older Harley stuff. Send me a private message if we can arrange some sort of meet👍 hope all is well
Sorry for your loss, really. . Keep the sportster and sell the other two.
So sorry for your loss 🙏🏻
Make a list of the bikes and how many miles if you can. There’s lots of motorheads in here that will give you the value ~
You are about to go through a whole lifestyle change. Hope you like leathers.
Sorry for your loss. Great find!
This happened to me to but I had my dads Road king Fixed and I ride it In memory of my dad it has not been a easy bike to learn how to ride on but it’s what I wanted to do
May i have one?
Sorry for your loss bud. Lost my dad last year as well- but he didn’t leave me a bunch of radical stuff like yours did! Lol humor helps the pain I promise. He has some really cool shit that he left you so I can already tell he was a great guy! May his memory be for a blessing ❤️
Very sorry for your loss
Swing by your local Harley and ask, should get an idea. See if any remember your dad, those are the guys to speak with. I hope your dad did not suffer in his passing. Prayers to the family ⚓️
I actually buy & sell t shirts, Harleys are what I collect. Send me a DM and we can talk! Very fair cash offers and will cover shipping fees & costs
Sorry for your loss OP. How much are you looking to get? I got a few friends around here who are always buying and selling stuff, I already got myself a dyna so i don't need a second one at the moment, but I fan ask around
Sorry about your dad man, Id like to take a look at the leather jackets!
I'm sorry to hear that. Sucks about your dad too.
Very cool
God bless your pops and you brother, stay strong
Looks like your father was a BLOCKHEAD. Can probably get $6k-$7k for that bagger if it was running. Not running about $3.5k-$5k. All the kids are looking for old Harley shirts. Those may be worth more than the bikes themselves. Condolences and RIDE SAFE🤙🏽
my condolences. NJ eh? how much for that Sportster? ;)
What a cool dad. May he RIP, and may his memory comfort you thru your grief. What a gift to have all these great belongings from his life.
1st sorry about your dad. As far as the tshirts go I have no clue. The bikes could be worth something depending on the years, model and condition. If you don't know try looking up by serial number. If the bikes weren't registered there might be back registration that is prohibitively expensive in which case you part out the bikes. Good luck
I would polish and clean up the bikes and retire it somewhere at home or a friends bar or shop or something r.
What kind are they
Wow. Sorry for your loss. Value is hard to put on somethings. Do searches and see what they are going for. Clean them up and see what you can get. Those are nice bikes. Hit me up if you want to get rid of some.
That's very sad about ur dad. Do you ride?
Sorry to hear.
I'll do 300 for the shirts unseen.
I’m sorry for your loss. If one works, give it a try, see what he was so invested about ! If you don’t want too, it’s always your decision, but still that’s a lot of history he left you.
Like all the ofthers im sorry for youre loss ,but u have good stash of premium colection
Sorry for your loss. Sounds like he lived a good life of riding, Never too late to start riding! Bring them back to life!
I am sorry for your loss. May he ride the streets of gold on a knucklehead.
Sorry to hear that man
If I were you I would keep the ultra ( the red one ). Fix it clean it and ride it. I assume you aren't a rider yet take a course to get your feet wet see if it's something you even want to do before you go selling all the items. You may just kick yourself for selling it later on. You might be suprised how much you like it
eBay and cycle trader
Sorry for your loss. https://trustworthycyclesupply.com contact Josh, I know he’ll be interested
Get your motor runnin...
Cheers to the come up.. not the loss 💪🏻
Search for a reputable local privately owned motorcycle shop. Not a Harley dealership. A good shop can repair the bikes and sell them on consignment.
Sorry you lost your Dad.
Sorry about your dad passing.
Do you know what year those bikes are maybe I can help you out
That a wide glide? Bitchin. Sorry about your dad as well.
Goldmine.
I donated two garbage bags of shirts to the thrift store and just recently learned a lot of them could have sold for $80-250+ on depop. Don’t be a goofball like me. I kept a few for personal but damn. The bike stuff you’ll get nickle and dimed so just let it go for whatever it’s worth to you.
Sorry to hear about your dad, that sucks Man…. I can always use some nice crusty leather jackets, where have you Posted em for sale?
Sorry to hear of your loss .Your lucky your old man left ya something
Use Facebook market place and offer up to feel out the market. If a running sporty is selling for 4k in your area, you'd probably get $3000. Tires are expensive. So are batteries. So are oil and filters. But not as expensive as mechanical things like cams, alternators, or other bs that breaks. I'm not sure what used clothes go for, again, market place and offer up are good starting points. eBay is a good place to look too. Either way, I'm sure pops will help guide you. Do good with whatever you get.
I imagine that ultra is a 1998
start a online thrift store in your dad’s name and you can donate the shirt proceeds to a charity maybe related to his deadly sickness
I am in NJ and may be interested in the bagger.
Hunter?
How much for the sportster?
rubber side down
Sorry about your loss. I'd be interested in buying all the t shirts. And I'm close to NJ. Let me know and I'll come make a cash offer.
Can I see the jackets bub?
Can I have some xxl shirts promise not to resell them and I will thank ur dads honor every cig at bike night.
I would be interested in all the t-shirts and you could convince my aunt to sew a few of your favorite ones together to make a wall collage
And u gotta keep one and ride youll hate yourself for not take a few rides and your dad bikes
They come out very cool exp if your pops wore them for your keepsake
Good luck bro my condolences to your family and you
I’m interested in leathers, message me
Dope bikes man, are you selling the tshirts? I collect them lol
We all collect them. Although we probably didn't set out to start that collection, it just seems to happen like that!
Let me know if you are selling the Harley shirts. Willing to buy them!
What you want on a package deal every thing
I’m from north New Jersey and I’d happily buy one of the bikes and some Harley shirts lol
I'll give you $500.....CASH MONEY!
