Heres what I know...
I'm NOT a Harley mechanic and am not trying to rip anyone off here... I'm going to be honest and tell you everything I know about this bike. If you are going to buy this bike then I hope you either know how or know someone that works on them. She's over 40 years old and so its a given it will need some tlc.. Overall it seems like a very solid bike and really stands out from most of the classic sportsters I have seen..
I aquired this bike in trade. It has been sitting in a garage for over 10 years (last time on the road was 2002). The woman that owned it said it ran great when she put it away. She bought a new bike (evo) and has been riding that ever since. She said the kick only got to be a bit much for her. I put a battery some gas and oil in it and kicked it over a few times and it started right up. The motor sounds good.. It will need a good old tune up... adjust the valves, points, carb etc... I haven't had it on the road because the clutch cable is very hard and won't disengage ( either needs a new cable or adjusting). The paint is chipping in areas (see pics). Chrome is decent and will polish up good with a little elbow grease (not the cheap chrome that flakes off).
Restore or ride as is... Your call! I don't have the title because in my state they don't require one... BILL OF SALE ONLY... bike will be sold in AS IS condition... I can't gaurantee anything on it... its a vintage harley and things rattle loose and brake all the time. If you are unaware of this then please do yourself a favor and buy a new bike! You (buyer) will be responsable for coordinating shipping and any charges with it. If you have any questions please ask before making a bid or an offer. Thanks for checking out my auction!
