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.

Tue, 22 Apr 2014

It’s almost automatic every time we write about Harley-Davidson that the company’s critics jump out to say how its bikes are heavy or assembled from parts bin leftovers or technologically decades behind its competitors. What these naysayers either forget or completely ignore is that Harley-Davidson motorcycles continue to sell. In its first quarter 2014 financial report, Harley-Davidson reported a 5.8% increase in motorcycle sales including 3.0% in the U.S.

A new survey conducted by the Consumer Reports National Research Center finds BMW and Harley-Davidson  owners are much more likely to report major problems with their motorcycles than owners of Honda, Kawasaki and Yamaha motorcycles. The survey, which will appear on the April 2013 issue of Consumer Reports, says one in three BMW owners reported experiencing a major problem with their bikes in the last four years. Harley-Davidson owners were slightly better, with one in four reporting serious issues.
