1977 Harley-davidson Fxe on 2040-motos

1977 Harley Davidson  Shovelhead 1200

This is an FXE. Old school FLH looks with some patina. KICK ONLY. Easy to start though.

Engine professionally rebuilt. Has an early swing arm and juice drum brake rear end. Belt drive hidden behind a tin primary. Rivera Primo clutch. It's running an Evo CV carb but the original Keihin goes with the bike. Points ignition. New battery. New regulator. New tires. True duals exhaust. O-ring chain.  This bike is set up to be a daily rider.  I have an aluminum primary that goes with the bike if you want to add a starter.

Clear Texas title in my name. Just passed state inspection. Ready to ride.

Currently insured, inspection and road tax good through August 2016.



Detailed information:

Wheels: Wheels rebuilt on factory Harley hubs with three new rear bearings and two new front bearings.  New black rims.  New stainless spokes.

Seat:  New leather seat.  The pogo seat spring is fully functional and is currently set up for a 200lb rider.

Brakes.  New rear shoes and slave cylinder.  New front and rear rubber brake lines.  The front pads are good and the bannana caliper is set up right.

Tires.  The front and rear tires are new with less than 1000 miles on them.  Shinko Super Classic 270.

Transmission:  It's set up with a Rivera Primo clutch which cost $450.  It makes neutral easy to find and the bike does not try to creep forward when you hold in the clutch lever.  The mainshaft and clutch rod seals are new and the mainshaft has a special spacer with an O-ring that eliminates the dreaded 4 speed oil leak.  It has the heavy duty Panhead style throwout bearing.  New clutch cable.

Engine:  The previous owner told me that it was rebuilt by a shop with a good reputation here locally.  It runs good with minimal leaks.  My next project was to replace the rocker box seals as they weep a little.  Overall though, this bike is very tight for a shovelhead.

Fuel system: Evo carb with accelerator pump and on body choke knob.  Upgraded to late style manifold with poly seals and aircraft style clamps - so no vacuum leaks at the manifold.  New throttle cable.
 


Stuff that goes with the bike:

Aluminum primary cover that accepts a starter.
Original Bendix starter and solenoid - unknown condition
Original Keihin carburetor and spam can air cleaner. - good condition but could use a rebuild
Spare BDL primary belt - new.
Two spare oil filters - new.
Passenger foot pegs.
Chrome battery cover - good condition but chrome won't get you home.
Not everybody lives in Texas so I'm including the original front and rear turn signal lights.
Tail light assembly - original shovelhead style.
Mallory E-spark electronic ignition.  The Blue Streak points on the bike work great and I never got around to installing this.

Clear it with wifey first if you have to.

I am not a shipper.  I can't deliver the bike to you.  It is the buyer's responsibility to pick up the bike.

If you want to pay when you take delivery of the bike, that is fine with me - CASH is best.

I will accept a CASHIER'S CHECK / BANK CHECK also and you and I can go together to my credit union and make small talk while the check clears.  (Takes about 20 minutes at my credit union)

I can be available any day of the week or weekends before 5pm to help with loading the bike and the title transfer transaction / paperwork.
