Harley-Davidson Sportster description
I got this thing about two years ago. Had been sitting for a while when i bought it. put new fluids, adjusted points, and rods and it fired up like a boss. Loud, fast, and mean as hell. Shifts through all the gears no problem. Rear breaks work good.. thing was so much fun...Then I blew my meniscus out skateboarding about a year ago and this bike being a kick only xlch wasn't really workin out for my knee. So again its been sitting for a while. Id kick it through every few weeks at first, but its been sitting for months at this point. Its sumped a good ammout of the oil out, like ironheads do, and probably needs a battery charge .. That should be all you need to get it fired up. Its got a bit of a deathwish hillbilly in progress chop thing goin on. The front end was replaced with some really nice 6 over shaved legs that came off a shovelhead, but it has the stock wheel with the disk taken off. There is a pretty ghetto spacer situation on the front wheel that i would change before really riding it and distance. I was planning on just getting a narrow little spooly for the front to solve that problem. It got new coils, plugs, and battery before i blew my knee out. As well as a bad ass old school set of "mean mother" headlights. The wiring has been chopped and redone and that was done a bit hillbilly style too. everything works i'd just make sure you trace it all out and learn it before going on a cross country trip because there is no way it matches up to an oem wiring diagram. Its rough around the edges, has some surface rust. some dings in the gas tank.. but its an old ironhead!! Kick gear is a little slippery sometimes as well, that might be something to address eventually...If you know what youre doing this bike could be real sweet real quick. happy to answer any questions or provide any additional pictues. big box of assorted parts included.
THIS IS A GEORGIA BIKE SO IT IS BILL OF SALE ONLY, TITLE NOT REQUIRED PRE 86. Tags expired sometime last year and its been sitting ever since. |

Elvis' Harley
Thu, 16 Aug 2012Today (August 16) it's exactly 35 years since Elvis died (or didn't, depending on your beliefs on the matter) so we thought we'd mark the moment with this – Elvis Presley's own 1956 Harley-Davidson. Elvis is so inextricably linked to Harleys that he's even become subject of an endlessly-circulating internet myth. You know, the one where a guy finds an old Harley for a few bucks, starts to restore it and discovers an 'Elvis' inscription under the seat.
New Harley-Davidson Sportster for India to Use 500cc V-Twin
Thu, 03 Jan 2013When Harley-Davidson first entered the Indian market, The Motor Company decided to import existing models as complete knockdown kits for final assembly in the burgeoning market. Considering the average motorcycle in India has a displacement smaller than 200cc, it was inevitable Harley-Davidson would eventually have to produce a small-displacement model rather than rely on its existing product line which currently lists the 883cc sportsters as its smallest bikes. Despite a denial last May by Harley-Davidson India’s Managing Director Anoop Prakash, it now appears Harley-Davidson is set to announce a new small-displacement model to be produced in India at the 2014 Indian Auto Expo next February.
AMA Ice Racing Grand Championship Adds Ice Moto Competition
Mon, 03 Feb 2014If you’ve been paying attention around here, you’ll know that we love ice racing here on Motorcycle.com. Editors Troy Siahaan and Tom Roderick got a first-hand taste of ice racing last winter, and we got a real kick out of seeing racers Brad Baker, Jared Mees and Nichole Mees taking Harley-Davidson Street 750s onto ice during the Winter X Games. That’s why we’re looking forward to the American Motorcyclist Association Ice Racing Grand Championships, Feb.
