Harley-Davidson FL 1200 description

One of the nations best bobbers, Cover of Cycle Source Magazine Dec 2014. Vote top four bobbers of the year. 1949 Harley Davidson, a real pan-shovel.

Original 1949 Harley Davidson FL cases, completely reconditioned including glyptol coated crankcase. Original HD flywheel with new crank pin and rod bearings. New aftermarket cylinders with stock bore, new pistons and rings. New Andrews J cam, Burns no oil ! 1978 HD heads, recent valve job, new guides. Work done by Cafe Cycles in New Oxford Pa. Beautiful throwback machine cast rockers. New points, plugs condenser, rebuilt timer. New cycle electric generator with built in regulator. New S&S Super E with Thurder Jet and custom aircleaner.

Brand new Paughco straight leg frame with custom mid controls including new reproduction 1960s Juice Drum rear brake and Suicide clutch. V Twin springer, HD star hub wheels with new rims and spokes. New Firestone vintage tires with one Summer's worth of riding on them. Front drum brake. Zombie performance custom bars, Panic cycle black headlight with copper trim ring.

Cole Foster tank, ribbed rear fender, custom oil tank, all beautifully painted by John Waggoner of Big Toe paint in a bronze patina with black accents. Pinstripes by Chris Long. The Relic Society stickers are removable, underneath is "lil bastard" and "49" the oil tank gas tank and other bits have some wear and tear, a few chips and rub marks and some well earned patina. It's worn with pride as I didn't want a show horse, but a workhorse that I can ride anywhere. It leaks a few drops from the gearbox, needs a couple primes when cold and starts on second kick, only takes one kick when warm. Loud as hell. Very fast for a 67 year old engine.

This is built by me, Rob Gibson as my own personal bike. I know every nut and bolt. I'm ready for a new project so I'm letting this one go. I'm in Gettysburg Pa. And will be happy to show it and ride it around for you. No u can ride it unless u buy it.

I can deliver it for an additional fee, this way you can meet me and I can show you all the specifics of the bike. Bid with confidence, you won't find another bike like this.

Tue, 09 Oct 2012

Americans reported 46,667 motorcycle thefts in 2011, a 6% decrease from 49,791 stolen motorcycles in 2010, reports the National Insurance Crime Bureau. Despite the drop in reported thefts, the non-profit organization representing nearly 1100 property and casualty insurance companies says the theft rate still averages out to one motorcycle stolen every 11 minutes in the U.S. The numbers were published in the NICB’s 2011 ForeCAST Report which examined theft reports as well as recoveries.

The 2022 Harley-Davidson Icons Model May Be the Low Rider El Diablo

Tue, 22 Feb 2022

The devil is in the details Earlier this year, Harley-Davidson revealed a new Low Rider ST featuring a FXRT-inspired fairing. Initial reaction to the Low Rider ST was very positive, with Jochen Zeitz, Harley-Davidson chief executive officer, claiming in Harley-Davidson’s Q4 earnings call “demand was so high for this bike that we sold out our first consumer allocation in 10 minutes.” While the retro fairing might not appeal to everyone, one other critique about the FXLRST (and a few other bikes in the 2022 lineup) is the rather drab selection of colors: Vivid Black and Gunship Gray.
