Harley-Davidson Other description

Reducing my collection. Up for sale is my favorite Shovelhead. My mostly original  1981 Harley Sturgis FXB. Everything works and there are no known issues with this bike! It was one of the most popular of Willie G's designs. It just went through a major service, and this is what was performed.

Transmission service

New exhaust mount bolts and gaskets

Oil and filter service

New brake pads

Master cylinder rebuild

Full tune up with valve adjust and plugs

Carb cleaned and adjusted ( S&S super B )

New wheel bearings F/R

Front fork rebuild with new seals and oil

New progressive suspension fork springs (what a difference in ride) have originals

New Pirelli Route 66 tires and valve stems with ride-on anti leak added F/R

Fr/Rear brake pads and caliper service

New progressive rear shocks ( major improvement in handling) have originals

New starter relay

 

Bike is currently registered and plated in California. I have a clean title for the bike.

 

I was told that the motor and tranny had been gone through completely by the original owner, but I cannot prove it with any documents. What I can tell you is the shop I use to do my services, said it ran like a fresh motor and tranny. No issues whatsoever ! It really runs strong !

This bike is no trailer queen ! It has Knicks and scratches and the paint is faded in some spots, but it is a great running and looking bike !

 

A motorcycle is only original once ! As far as paint and equipment, it is as original as a bike can be that has also been ridden regularly since it was first purchased. Battery, tires, brakes and fluids are fresh and not original. Shocks and springs have been replaced, but will give you the originals if you want them. Seat and pipes and carb and air cleaner are not original !

 

I have represented this bike as honestly as I can. My feedback backs this up. A deposit of $500

is required by PayPal within 48 hours of auction ending. The balance is to be by check, money order or preferably by bank wire transfer ( much faster ). I will release the bike to your shipper upon the funds clearing the bank.

 

 I strongly suggest you come and inspect the bike personally or have a representative do it for you. I will give you 7 days to have that done. If you find the bike is not as I have described, then I will refund your money. If you do not have the bike inspected prior to your shipper picking it up, then the moment it leaves my driveway...it belongs to you. This is a used bike with no warranty promised or implied ! I will work with your shipper to help facilitate the process. I have also worked with overseas shippers. It is your responsibility to find and choose a shipper that you wish to use. This is best, as everyone is different and has different needs.


Note:  Mileage will slightly increase as she needs exercise.

 

Thanks for your consideration and please ask any and all questions that you might have before bidding. I can be contacted at 760-703-2679 or by email. Good luck,

Most Obvious Press Release Of 2013: Biker Chicks Sexier Than Pedestrians

Tue, 31 Dec 2013

In a misallocation of funds Harley-Davidson recently spent an untold buttload of money proving something men have known for years: That women who ride motorcycles are sexier and better between the sheets than women who don’t ride. Common responses from male motorcyclists to the press release were: Duh; Tell me something I didn’t already know; Can I be a recruiter? Meant to entice non-riding females into the Harley-Davidson army by pimping the Bar & Shield’s website, www.h-d.com/women, the press release was peppered with effeminate catchphrases such as “physical intimacy, “communication,” and “improves relationships” but the basal message is one of female motorcyclists being sexier, happier and more confident than their non-riding counterparts.

Motorcycles at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show

Mon, 28 Sep 2009

Two weeks ago, I took a break from my regular duties gathering news for Motorcycle.com to fly to Germany to cover the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show for our sister site AutoGuide.com. For two hectic days, AutoGuide editor Colum Wood and I scrambled across the massive 6.2 million square foot Messe Frankfurt trade fair compound, running from press conference to press conference to get the latest on exotic sport cars, futuristic concept models and international unveilings from the automotive world. It was heaven for car lovers, but for me, it meant fighting my way through hordes of photogs, auto-journalists and car show models to get the first photos of four-wheeled goodies from MINI, Ferrari and Lotus.

The TwinTrax Is A Machine Straight From Mad Max

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Just look at this motorcycle for a moment. A creation of the German Motorcycle Authority, the TwinTrax is nearly 107 inches long, weighs 882 pounds, and took owner/builder Christoph Madaus 12 years to complete. Oh, and don’t forget the two Harley-Davidson V-Twins powering this thing.
