Harley-Davidson Sportster description

Just completed refurbishing this 1974 XLH Sportster and he is ready to ride or show. I bought this motorcycle from the ORIGINAL OWNER who bought it new in South Kansas City Missouri at Worth H-D. It shows only 14,731 miles on the odometer. It did have a broken speedometer cable when I got the bike but it has been replaced with a brand new period correct cable. Looking at the tires that are on/ included with the motorcycle mileage appears to be very close to the 14k. The top end has never been off this motorcycle as evidenced by the virgin head bolts. The tires appear to be the original 40 year old Goodyear tires and if I was going to ride it I would definitely invest in some new rubber. I was unsure what I was going to do with this Sportster so one day I decided instead of buying a tire that it was easier to just put the 16 inch rear wheel with a good Dunlop tire that I had in the shed. I am including the original 18 inch wheel and Goodyear tire with the bike in case you want to put it back on. I had a good buddy repaint: front fender,rear fender,oil tank,chain guard,battery box, and the battery tray. The gas tank WAS NOT REPAINTED because it was in such good shape and has that 40 year old patina,stripes and decals. I have also sealed the inside of the tank with a commercial tank sealer kit.(the expensive one)

Everything works on this bike including the turn signals, well except for the period correct AMF alarm I put on the rear of the bike as I do not have the key. (a good locksmith can make a key for a few bucks)  It sat for many years prior to finding it's way to Texas SO  I replaced the carburetor, clutch shell, starter drive, starter relay, battery, front brake pads, speedometer cable, tachometer cable, seat, battery tray rubber mounts, rubber oil lines, changed the oil, serviced the transmission. This is a great little Sportster that has to find a new home as my one car garage is out of room for motorcycles and I am getting the itch to buy a 2014 FLHX. 
Please no tire kickers or test pilots!!!!!!
Motorcycle has a clear Texas title in my name.
If you are serious about buying this motorcycle then please feel free to call me with any questions at 1-512-680-4459. DW

The buyer is responsible for picking the motorcycle up in Austin Texas.
I will assist in any way with the shipping of this motorcycle, with the shipper of your choice. (buyer is responsible for any and all shipping charges)
I can deliver this motorcycle to the Barber Swap Meet in Birmingham Alabama in mid October for a nominal fee.

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

What do you get when a lifelong horse rider and motorcyclist from Nebraska gets inspired to combine his two loves? Why, motorcycle stirrups, of course! The idea came to Devin Santana, proprietor of Nebraska City Iron Works, one day when he was riding his Harley-Davidson down the road and looked down at his feet.

Fri, 08 Aug 2014

ACCEL today announced the company’s popular motorcycle Stealth SuperCoils will now be available to owners of 2007-2014 Harley-Davidson Sportsters.  First introduced in late-2013 for Harley-Davidson Twin-Cam engines, ACCEL’s Stealth SuperCoils provide quicker engine starting and improved throttle response, while hiding all ignition wiring in the head of the self-contained coil pack; eliminating the need for spark plug wires and creating a clean, custom look. In addition to the flat black and natural aluminum finishes, the Sportster Stealth SuperCoils are offered in flat black with polished aluminum edges. Each SuperCoil mounts directly to the spark plug and features a cross-functional cast aluminum cover that also acts as a heat sink, pulling heat away from the cylinder heads.
