Harley-Davidson Sportster description

Bought as a basket case in 1998, Got it running and had some fun with it. 

Bike has been in the back of the garage for 7 Years. Needs some work and TLC. Has custom fenders and gas tank, Original parts also included. Has aftermarket 4 speed Barnett Clutch.

This is a great bike for someone who wants to buy a Harley project on the cheap. 


Bike hasn't been touched in seven years. Carbs will need to be rebuilt, brake rotors are rusty and will need to be turned or replaced. Tires appear to be holding air just fine, but should be checked for dry rot.

When I was riding it I had the wiring redone in the front end, replaced the ignition, the starter and the generator. I also had the clutch and transmission serviced. I planned on having the top end rebuilt and putting in oversized pistons, but never got to it. It had decent power, but that motor would really cook if the top end was worked over.

There is some surface rust on many of the parts, i.e. spokes, nuts and bolts, etc. This is probably not an immediate concern, but should be cleaned up if you want the bike to be tip top. Speedometer was replaced, original mileage unknown.

It is both kick and electric start. If you ever tried to kick start an old Harley, you'll be happy to have the electric start.

Harley-Davidson Reveals Project Livewire

Thu, 19 Jun 2014

Yesterday we published a scoop on what we believed to be a production electric motorcycle by, of all companies, Harley-Davidson, dubbed “Livewire.” Today, H-D officially announced Project LiveWire as the company’s first electric motorcycle.However, it appears as though our speculation about LiveWire going into production was a bit off base. Instead, The Motor Company is continuing with its customer-led product development approach and letting riders decide whether or not LiveWire sees the light of day. Starting next week select consumers across the country will be able to ride and provide feedback on the bike, helping to shape the future of Harley-Davidson’s first-ever electric motorcycle. While not for sale, Project LiveWire is specifically designed for the purpose of getting insight into rider expectations of an electric Harley-Davidson motorcycle.

Harley Skateboard Trick – Awesome Motorcycle Jump

Tue, 28 Apr 2009

Everything needs to be jumped over with a skateboard at some point in human history.  People, benches, cars, cats, senior citizens, conclusions, ships, …. I’m getting a little metaphorical here…  Why not motorcycles?  Let’s jump some motorcycles on a skateboard and let’s make them Harley-Davidson motorcycles to boot. Harley is on fire with releasing “viral video” to promote their Dark Custom line and have now released this interesting video of a “modded” skateboard with fireworks strapped to it flying over some bikes.  Personally, I think it  looks like the guy is hanging from a wire when he crosses over those bikes.
