This is probably one of the nicest 1983 Harley FLTs left. The last of the shovels and when Harley was not in the hands of AMF. This bike is almost completely original. The only paint work that I know of is the top of the saddle bags. The other paint is as it was in 1983. I bought the bike from the guy that purchased it in 1984 with 2k miles on it. Its always been taken care of and it shows. There are no major dents or dings in the paint work. With the exception of a small blemish on the front fairing its extremely clean. There are small imperfections here and there. What you would expect from a 30 year old black bike. Im sure a good detail man could really make this bike shine. Id rather ride than wash myself.

Everything on the bike works as it should with the exception of the hazard flasher. It fell to pieces and I have not found a new one. The lights and blinkers work fine without it. The light on the front fender does not work either. Other than that shes tip top. New tires within the last 1000 miles and a service at the same time. The original carb was changed out for an s&s many years ago. Starts and runs great. I do have the orginal chain enclosure for the bike as well as the factory seat and a few other bits. The custom seat on it now looks and rides great. The windshield is a vstream that has been cut down. I do have all the keys for the bags, fairing, and even the original Harley keys for it. The exhaust is factory Harley and has a good tone. The bike glides down the highway. It truly lives of to the name " King of the Highway".

You truly would be hard pressed to find a nicer example. If youve ever wanted an old shovel, this is the bike. It needs nothing but you. Ride it or put it up for a collector piece. It really likes to be ridden though. There are a few small drips here and there but nothing I would call a leak. The bottom of the pushrod tubes weep a little oil, but nothing major. Ive had 300+ mile days on her, and it you couldnt ask for a better bike. Especially not one 30 years old. When I tell people its an 83, they are truly surprised.

I have tried to take plenty of pictures to show all aspects of the bike. I dont want there to be any surprises. This is a 30 year old bike , so dont expect a new one when it arrives.
