Harley-Davidson Touring description

Vintage 1968 Harley Davidson Electraglide. Unrestored and looks great. Make a statement at Sturgis.

Components I've added since owning the bike:
Windshield
Hardbags
Horn

Maintenance I've done
Replaces rear shocks
Changed front shock oil
Replaced front wheel, spokes and hub
Replaced rear wheel, trued and balanced both
New rubber and tubes
Upgraded generator to alternator
Replaced spun upper bushing, replaced pistons, rings and bored cylinders
Rebuilt master cylinder, replaced steel line
Replaced front and rear chains
Replaced rear sprocket
Upgraded front sprocket from 22 to 23 tooth
Had speedometer rebuilt and calibrated for sprocket upgrade

I built a slip on rear seat and backrest for the passenger that fits where the luggage rack currently is.  This bike has been to Sturgis and back from Minneapolis many times, and not on a trailer.  I like a lot of the little things about the bike, the throttle stays where you leave it (cruise), the rock shield over the headlight, the original paint.  It all has a great look.

Louisiana state lawmakers have approved a bill that would change the maximum height of motorcycle handlebars. Current state law restricts handlebar height to no more than 15 inches above the seat, a somewhat arbitrary level, but a common choice with 17 other states. The House has voted 87-0 in favor of Senate Bill 582 to change the maximum height to the rider’s shoulder level, as measured while sitting on the seat.
