Harley-Davidson Touring description

I have an original 1968 Harley slab side shovelhead for sale. Harley made the generator shovelhead from 66 - 69. I bought this last year and have been trying to fix it up since. It runs (sorta), but needs finishing. Good compression, all wired, with a ton of original parts. Even original paint! (Not the eagle on the front fender). It is registered in my name, but I owe back fees on it, so obviously I will pay those off when it sells. If you know anything about Harleys, you know this is a very rare find. Shifts through all the gears, has electric and kick start, but I haven't been able to get the timing right. Pushrods are adjusted, I just can's seem to get the distributor correct. I got it to run roughly a couple weeks ago, but got frustrated and haven't done much with it since. I have half a dozen other bikes and need to clear out a couple, so this one is going up for sale. The left spot light is burnt, and the rear tire has a slow leak. I put a mousetrap shifter on it, but it is harder than hell to pull, so another set up might need to be put on.
Obviously it needs finishing up, but it is 95% of the way there. All lights work, and turn signals are all good and function as they should. Doesn't really need any parts, just someone with more patience and expertise than I have. The license plate is original, not the new black California plate that is cheap. Note the first and last numbers on the plate are "68" - I thought that was cool. A real piece of history that I will most likely regret selling, but I need the money right now. Feel free to email with questions.

2022 Harley-Davidson Low Rider ST Review

Defining the sport-touring cruiser Credit: Photos by Evans Brasfield Perhaps what I love the most about the English language is its flexibility, how you can bump disparate words together and create something with an entirely new meaning. When it comes to motorcycles, the words sport and touring bring to mind two very different kinds of motorcycles. Sporting motorcycles place an emphasis on handling, acceleration, and braking, while touring bikes tend to focus on cargo capacity, rider comfort, and long-range capability.
