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.
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.
