1981 Commerative Harley-davidson Sportster on 2040-motos

Harley-Davidson Sportster description

This is a Rare ’81 1000cc Commemorative Sportster.  Known as the “Buy Back Bike“ or “Milwaukee Special”.  It is the same model as featured on the One Hundred Year Anniversary Harley Davidson Commemorative Painting and Poster. A genuine piece of Harley Davidson's History, celebrating Harley Davidson's rebirth and return into private ownership from AMF. Only 804 of these motorcycles were produced.  One for every Harley Dealership, one extra for the top 100 Harley Dealers, and 4 for promotional purposes. I purchased this bike in August 2006. The previous owner had owned this bike for over 13 years. Original factory paint, not repainted, and is not cracked.  The maintenance has been done well above anything required.  I change the oil and filter at about every 1500 miles and I run only Castrol oil.  New top end, tires, new o-ring, chain and both sprockets less than 2200 miles ago. Heads were rebuilt completely, including new springs, retainers, and much higher quality valves and guides.  The pistons have been re-ringed, the tolerances for piston to cylinder clearance was well within factory spec and the cylinder taper was less than 1/1000" so there was no need to bore out the cylinders.  It has a factory cam in it, not any type of radical cam. No leaks and all the aluminum on the bike has been stripped and polished.  It also has a new battery. I keep gas stabilizer in it during winter. Very near 100% original (not the stock pipes). This is the best maintained bike you will ever see. If you want something that no one has or you collect, this is the one. I want to see someone buy it who will treat it with respect.  This bike will only gain in value as the years progress.  Fun to ride, and just down right cool.
