1996 Harley-davidson Xl1200 Sportster Motonisto Custom Classic Cafe Road Racer on 2040-motos

Harley-Davidson Sportster description

 Here is crowds favorite, a retro, '60s British racer style motorcycle built by Moto Nisto (nr.8) using a Harley Davidson 1200cc engine. 2 into 2 free-breathing exhaust with headers made from stainless steel, K&N filter and carburetor dialed in. It is about 20lbs lighter than a stock Sportster and it tops out at over 125mph, not bad for a Harley! Even so it still gets about 50mpg! Might not be as fast as a modern metric bike but it's one of the coolest Harleys out there. Air cooled, self adjusting valvetrain, and plenty of parts available. A pleasure to ride, with a lot of torque and crisp handling. Custom built as follows: aluminum wheels with retro tire treads and sizes, custom front fender and struts, cleaned legs, rubber gaters and aluminum clip-on with steel handlebars. The 7" vintage headlight housing holds a readily available bulb and it has a cool stainless steel protective grill mesh. The gages, buttons, horn and turn signals were unplugged and removed for aesthetics and simplicity. The aluminum dashboard has three idiot lights, internationally colored for high-beam (blue), neutral (green) and check engine (orange). Clutch lever received a Teflon coated inner wire and an easy-pull device for effortless engagement. The fuel tank is a 4gallon cafe racer style tank with knee cut-outs, handlebar clearance indents, flip cap and dual petcocks. The seat is a vintage Ducati fiberglass replica and is upholstered with high density foam. The tail light is a simple and round, reliable LED. Custom made rear-set foot controls for a comfortable seating position. The belt drive was converted to chain for ease of ratio adjustments and retro looks. The front sprocket cover is also modified for a retro look with rounded profile. Tires have about half life left. It functions flawlessly and is truly a one of a kind cafe racer, it turns heads wherever it goes. But if you prefer a more aggressive racer with a fairing I have another one for sale, but will only let go of the one fetching a better profit so check my other auction and show your interest by bidding.
