Harley-Davidson Touring description

1986 Harley-Davidson FLTHC Custom. Number 88/650

I am the second owner of this motorcycle that was purchased new in 1986 by Forbes Inc and ridden by Malcolm Forbes. All original purchase paperwork is available and will be included in the final sale.

Rebuilt in March 2009  at 51070 miles, this motorcycle has full service records from new. The rebuild included a fully rebuilt engine from the crank up, including Andrews EV27 Cam and Screaming Eagle Heads, and adjustable lifters by a local HD Dealer (this was  not a factory rebuild) Other upgrades include a RevTech 6 speed conversion.  The bike is currently running the stock carb and air cleaner assembly as it was recently displayed at the Vintage Motorcycle Rally in Anamosa, IA, where it took second place for it's division. The S&S Shorty E carb will be included in the final sale.

Current condition would be good to very good. Need to be seen to appreciate the condition.

The bike was repainted at the rebuild in the original color scheme, with the swingarm bushings being replaced with synthetic Sta-Bo bushing (this was a frame up restoration). There are many other extras that have been added and it is a strong reliable bike.

This is a rare bike with a unique history and I will provide any further information that you require.

Serious bidders only. 

A deposit of $500 is due within 48hrs of end of Auction by PayPal and the balance must be paid within 7 days by cash or cashiers check. I will release the bike once the funds have cleared.

Buyer is responsible for shipping and any costs involved.

Please ask any question before placing a bid.

Selling the bike as I need the funds for a home repair.

35 years ago this month

Fri, 28 May 2010

IT'S 35 YEARS since Evel Knievel attempted to jump 13 London buses at Wembley Stadium. Riding a heavy, slow Harley-Davidson XR750, the American daredevil had serious reservations about the jump, admitting the take-off ramp was too short, therefore limiting the bike's speed. But even though the plucky American knew his chances of pulling off the stunt were slim, he was reluctant to disappoint the 80,000-strong Wembley crowd.

The 2022 Harley-Davidson Icons Model May Be the Low Rider El Diablo

Tue, 22 Feb 2022

The devil is in the details Earlier this year, Harley-Davidson revealed a new Low Rider ST featuring a FXRT-inspired fairing. Initial reaction to the Low Rider ST was very positive, with Jochen Zeitz, Harley-Davidson chief executive officer, claiming in Harley-Davidson’s Q4 earnings call “demand was so high for this bike that we sold out our first consumer allocation in 10 minutes.” While the retro fairing might not appeal to everyone, one other critique about the FXLRST (and a few other bikes in the 2022 lineup) is the rather drab selection of colors: Vivid Black and Gunship Gray. If you’re looking for a more vibrant Low Rider ST, you may want to wait a bit longer, as Harley-Davidson will be introducing a new variant to be called the “Low Rider El Diablo.” The name appears in vehicle emissions certification from the U.S.

Easy Rider 40th Anniversary

Tue, 27 Oct 2009

Peter Fonda, who played Wyatt in the 1969 cult classic, Easy Rider, was in Glendale, CA on Friday to help promote the Blu-Ray release of the film which marks the 40th anniversary.  The movie was scheduled to be shown at the Love Ride event that was canceled this year, instead the film screened at a local Harley-Davidson dealer. One of the film’s main objective was to expose violence and racism in the U.S. in a negative light but instead it seems that it was taken the wrong way with most, glorifying the lifestyle that was portrayed in the film.
