Harley-Davidson Touring description

I recently acquired this bike. It has not been on the road in approx. 3 years. I cleaned the old gas out of the tanks, replaced the fuel lines, replaced the fuel petcock, cleaned the carb & replaced the bowl inlet needle & the accelerator pump diaphragm. Installed a new AGM battery. The bike now starts & runs good, sounds good with no unusual noises. I took it for a short ride to verify that the clutch works & the transmission shifts good. Brakes front & rear work. Lights & switches work including head & tail lights, brake light, turn signals, dash lights, horn etc. . Some lights have been added to the tour pack but they are not functioning as they aren't plugged in. As stated the bike seems to run very good, but again it hasn't been on the road in years & the new owner will need to give it a thorough mechanical inspection, or have their mechanic perform a thorough mechanical inspection before the bike is considered safe for the road . The bike is being sold in "AS IS Condition". I'm told the mileage is correct & orignal but I have no way to verify this by documentation, the speedo is the correct oem one for the bike. The engine looks to be in original condition & I see no signs its ever been "opened up". The bike is very stock & original, including the paint with the exception of the gas tanks, they have been replaced with '82 & later style tanks. The ignition switch is an original HD & I have keys but I can't get the lock to move, its unlocked & functions but I can't lock it, have keys for the saddlebags. The lock has been removed from the tour pack & the lid is being held in place with a bungee cord. This bike has "patina" I haven't washed it just wiped off the dust, also most of the chrome has rust pitting / peeling  as would be expected on an original bike this old. Please see the pics. This is an old survivor bike, not a newly restored bike.

2013 AIMExpo: Sumo-X – Video

Thu, 24 Oct 2013

Harley-Davidson riders like to customize their rides and Sumo-X gives them some interesting storage and style options, which we saw at the 2013 American International Motorcycle Expo in Orlando, Fla. The Sumo-X Tour Pack offers an incredible amount of storage behind and around the seat for Harley dressers. It allows you to access two bags or whatever else you’d like to keep in its cavernous opening.

10-seater Harley. Just what you need.

Tue, 04 Aug 2009

Ever gone to take your Harley for a spin and thought "You know, I wish this thing had a couple more seats, infact no, I wish it had 10". Well, you might not have done that, I know I haven't, but one man who did was Steve Hopkins who built this bike using 7 Harley-Davidson engines some which date back over 100 years. To prove it rides, Hopkins and nine passengers hopped on the bike on Saturday to start the 900 mile ride from Wisconsin to Sturgis.

Americans reported 46,667 motorcycle thefts in 2011, a 6% decrease from 49,791 stolen motorcycles in 2010, reports the National Insurance Crime Bureau. Despite the drop in reported thefts, the non-profit organization representing nearly 1100 property and casualty insurance companies says the theft rate still averages out to one motorcycle stolen every 11 minutes in the U.S. The numbers were published in the NICB’s 2011 ForeCAST Report which examined theft reports as well as recoveries.
