For sale is one of my personal bikes. I purchased this from the original owners a few years ago. In the last 500 miles I put brand new tires on front and rear, Brand New Stainless Supertrapp 2 into 1 Exhaust, Brand new Baker Kicker Gears, Brand new Harley AGM Battery, New Oil and Filter, Transmission oil changed, It has a NOS Harley XLCR Cafe Racer front fender. I still have the original box somewhere, Franks 2" Over Tubes, New DID X-Ring Rear Chain and PBI Aluminum Rear Sprocket. New Heavy Duty Screamin' Eagle fork oil and James Gaskets fork seals, New wheel bearings and seals, Brand New Le Pera Seat and pillion Pad, Original NOS 1970's Sifton .440" Cam, If you don't like a noisy solid lifter cam, then its not for you!! Not a junk V-Twin Cam, Original 1970's cam! New Lifters, New Pushrods, Torrington B-138 Bearing, Original Centerline Riveted Solid Rear Wheel, New Sportster Iron Handlebars. I just removed the tach, but I still have it. Tons of cool period accessories and parts. This was in a gentlemans living room since 1995, i'm told between 1981-1995 it was only driven to the dealer and back for inspections and oil changes! Very cool clean Shovelhead. No horrible leaks like most shovels. It still has the original clutch! I havent done much to this bike besides the service and cam work listed. It does have normal scratches and dents that should be expected with its age. I'm sure i'm forgetting some stuff, so please ask. Its an old Shovel, so you should be up for some additional maintenance here and there. These old bikes are temperamental at times.

2025 Harley-Davidson Cruiser Review – First Ride

Thu, 13 Mar 2025

Sampling six H-D cruisers Photos by Bryan J Nelson and Kevin Wing. I feel that I can relate with the 2025 Harley-Davidson Cruiser line on a subcutaneous level. Once you get past our exquisite, carefully curated exteriors, we’re both filled with a toxic mix of liquid with our complexities hidden away from view, stuffed down so deep that no one would ever think twice to use the word sophisticated to describe us.

Would you pay £160,000 for this?

Thu, 05 Jan 2012

Pretty it may be, but you wouldn't catch me spending £160,000 on this 1915 Harley-Davidson 11-F Twin that's coming up for sale at a Bonhams auction. It's allegedly one of the most sought-after Harleys and has buyers from around the world itching to splash out on it. Not literally, you'd hope.
