Harley-Davidson Other description

Reducing my collection. Up for sale is my favorite Shovelhead. My mostly original  1981 Harley Sturgis FXB. Everything works and there are no known issues with this bike! It was one of the most popular of Willie G's designs. It just went through a major service, and this is what was performed.

Transmission service

New exhaust mount bolts and gaskets

Oil and filter service

New brake pads

Master cylinder rebuild

Full tune up with valve adjust and plugs

Carb cleaned and adjusted ( S&S super B )

New wheel bearings F/R

Front fork rebuild with new seals and oil

New progressive suspension fork springs (what a difference in ride) have originals

New Pirelli Route 66 tires and valve stems with ride-on anti leak added F/R

Fr/Rear brake pads and caliper service

New progressive rear shocks ( major improvement in handling) have originals

New starter relay

 

Bike is currently registered and plated in California. I have a clean title for the bike.

 

I was told that the motor and tranny had been gone through completely by the original owner, but I cannot prove it with any documents. What I can tell you is the shop I use to do my services, said it ran like a fresh motor and tranny. No issues whatsoever ! It really runs strong !

This bike is no trailer queen ! It has Knicks and scratches and the paint is faded in some spots, but it is a great running and looking bike !

 

A motorcycle is only original once ! As far as paint and equipment, it is as original as a bike can be that has also been ridden regularly since it was first purchased. Battery, tires, brakes and fluids are fresh and not original. Shocks and springs have been replaced, but will give you the originals if you want them. Seat and pipes and carb and air cleaner are not original !

 

I have represented this bike as honestly as I can. My feedback backs this up. A deposit of $500

is required by PayPal within 48 hours of auction ending. The balance is to be by check, money order or preferably by bank wire transfer ( much faster ). I will release the bike to your shipper upon the funds clearing the bank.

 

 I strongly suggest you come and inspect the bike personally or have a representative do it for you. I will give you 7 days to have that done. If you find the bike is not as I have described, then I will refund your money. If you do not have the bike inspected prior to your shipper picking it up, then the moment it leaves my driveway...it belongs to you. This is a used bike with no warranty promised or implied ! I will work with your shipper to help facilitate the process. I have also worked with overseas shippers. It is your responsibility to find and choose a shipper that you wish to use. This is best, as everyone is different and has different needs.


Note:  Mileage will slightly increase as she needs exercise.

 

Thanks for your consideration and please ask any and all questions that you might have before bidding. I can be contacted at 760-703-2679 or by email. Good luck,

Three-Year-Old Motorcycle Prodigy?

Tue, 18 Aug 2009

Even though Tiger woods started paying golf at age two, this story of a three-year-old boy from New Delhi, India is probably just as impressive, maybe more.  Azeem Khan, photographed on the Royal Enfield Bullet above, has been granted a special license by judges in India allowing him to ride his motorcycle on side roads but is not allowed out on the main roads by himself. Khan’s father had to customize the bike so that the young boy could reach the controls and prove that he could handle the motorcycle on his own. I used to sit him on my bike and he would always grab at the controls.

A (Not So) Silent Night from Harley-Davidson – Video

Tue, 17 Dec 2013

It’s probably not conducive for sleeping in heavenly peace, but Harley-Davidson has released a Christmas-themed ad with the song “Silent Night” performed by the revving V-Twin engine of a Softail Breakout. Titled “The Sound of the Festive Season”, the ad spot was produced by U.K agency Big Communications for Harley-Davidson Europe Middle East and Africa. According to AdWeek, the ad was conceived, sold and produced in just 72 hours.

Vespa goes back to the future

Thu, 22 Nov 2012

IT'S been a while coming, but the gorgeous Vespa 946 - EICMA 2012's Best of Show - has finally introduced something to the two-wheeled world that our four-wheeled counterparts have had for a while.  I call this 'reverse retro-futurism' - the art of borrowing lines from models past and imbuing them with a sleek sense of future direction (as opposed to retro-futurism, the pre-1960s design trend of depicting the technology of the future. The term 'decopunk' may come close, but feel free to tell me if there's a more exact term.) It's what the New Mini and the New Beetle (both 1997 and 2012 versions) have done so well, and so successfully: building an all-new model as a tribute to a classic, something that's modern yet already timeless, with a widely-appreciated, inclusive aesthetic (and here we eliminate the Plymouth PT Cruiser from the conversation). The biking world is great at retro, indeed thrives on it, but not so good at adding in a taste of the 21st century.
