1976 Harley-davidson Sportster on 2040-motos

Award winning Ironhead sportster.

Many people claim to be selling head turning unique Harleys, but this one truly is.  It got second place in the classic class in this years Old Snohomish ride in motorcycle show (amazingly beating out two panheads) and was chosen for an advertising photo shoot, when seen parked at the local marina.  Many times people have gone out of their way to check it out and compliment it.  In fact several people have felt slighted when their higher end custom Harleys have been passed by while this one is checked out.

It started life as a 1976 AMF sportster and was converted into what has been called by some a fatster, with a big twin gas tank.  It is painted a beautiful teal & Ivory color; and although there are a few chips here & there they don’t seem to detract from the bikes appearance. It has dual disc front brakes (it is one of the best stopping Harleys I’ve ridden), almost new (less than 1000 mile)Dunlop elite tires, a chrome oil cooler,dual oil filters, adjustable shocks, an S&S carburetor,  Highway pegs, a Chrome primary cover and quite a bit of tasteful chrome, a solo seat, and a fork bag with fringes & a choncho.

I bought this bike 9 years ago then sold it to an employee and got it back approximately 2 years ago. I’ve had it in my shop the whole time and he and I have played/worked on it continuosly. The generator, & regulator have been recently replaced as has the battery, starter drive, relay and switch.  Much work has been done on it over the years to make it somewhat reliable and I have receipts totaling $1321from other shops, unfortunately I haven’t kept track of what I’ve done in my shop, but it is enough that the wife is not a fan.  I have recently ridden it on rides of 60 and 96 miles; although it is more suitable for short bar hopper style rides.  I am amazed how well it handles in that I can take curves 5 miles an hour faster on it then I can on my touring Harley.  All In All it is a fun bike that starts instantly and runs well.
