Stator for 1989-1999 Big Twin Motorcycles

The item is identified as a 'STATOR 89-99 BIGTWINS', with a part number '2112-0156' and a vendor part number 'CE8999A'. While the full item isn't visible, the image shows a label affixed to what appears to be packaging or the item itself. The background suggests a corrugated surface, likely cardboard, which is heavily soiled and discolored, indicating prolonged storage or exposure to dirt and grime. The label itself is white or light-colored with black text, but it also shows significant wear, including smudges, dirt, and what look like handwritten markings ('e', 'moue', 'ss', 't', 'Fill') that obscure parts of the underlying surface. The text on the label is clear despite the grime. Below the textual information is a standard black and white barcode, which appears intact and scannable, indicating it's still functional for inventory purposes. The 'U OF M: EA' indicates the unit of measure is 'Each'. The age is clearly specified by '89-99', suggesting compatibility with models from 1989 to 1999, specifically 'BIGTWINS', which typically refers to Harley-Davidson motorcycles. The overall condition of the packaging or surface holding the label is poor due to dirt and extraneous markings, but the critical information on the label remains legible. This suggests the item itself, if contained within this packaging, might be new old stock (NOS) or a used but still identifiable part.

Upon examining the image of the 'STATOR 89-99 BIGTWINS' (Part Number 2112-0156, Vendor Part Number CE8999A), my assessment focuses primarily on the labeling and apparent packaging condition, as the item itself is not directly visible. The label is legible, clearly identifying the part and its application for 1989-1999 Big Twin motorcycles. The barcode appears intact, suggesting potential for inventory tracking. The surrounding corrugated surface is heavily soiled and discolored, along with smudges and handwritten markings on the label. This indicates prolonged storage in less-than-ideal conditions, possibly impacting the internal component or suggesting it is new old stock (NOS) that has been handled extensively. Such external appearance could deter some buyers who prefer pristine packaging, even if the item inside is new. Market conditions for stators for this era of Big Twins are generally stable, with consistent demand for replacement parts. While not exceedingly rare, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or high-quality aftermarket stators are sought after. The value is primarily driven by its functionality and compatibility with a popular range of Harley-Davidson models. The 'U OF M: EA' confirms it’s sold individually. The primary factor significantly impacting value here is the unknown condition of the stator itself. Without physical inspection, I cannot confirm if the part is new, used, or damaged. The soiled packaging raises concerns. An in-person examination would be crucial to verify the part's condition, test its functionality, and confirm it's not a counterfeit. Original packaging (if this indeed is it) would add value for NOS, but its current state detracts. Provenance documentation would further confirm its origin and new status if claimed. Without these, authenticity verification from image alone is limited to the label's apparent legitimacy. Given the information available, and assuming this is a functional, new (albeit poorly stored) aftermarket stator, my appraisal is based on typical retail pricing for such components.
