Harley-Davidson Sportster description

 

This auction is offering a chance to finally get one of the best custom Sportsters ever built.

The motor was pumped professionally by John Prince & Danny Rich.  John did the machine work on the barrels & heads.  Danny did the reassembly using using Sifton parts & firing the motor. John Prince made a lot of accessories including the oil tank I used. They were both super people to do business with. R.I.P.

Back in mid1978 I went to Fremont Drag Strip, best run was 11.80, smooth running fast sportster. 
In one of the photos you can see I was really enjoying my ride,  37 years ago...8]

A few more years passed, things change, career, marriage, family etc. I had to put it in storage (1980.)  

The motor has a joe hunt mageneto, Sudco Mikuni with accelerator pump, has a Barrnet clutch & tranny was updated (fourth gear) just before the sport went into storage so I would call the last 2 items like brand new. 

Brought the sport back out of storage approx. 2010, the whole bike was updated also went to .040 over on the upper end.  Its in excellent condition and still runs awesome,  only thing is that I can't ride her anymore so  I decided not to just let it sit,  that someone will enjoy it as much as I have,

 

If you use "buyitnow"  & if needed,  I will pay for shipping, otherwise shipping will be paid by the buyer reaching minimum reserve amount

Good Luck,  any questions just ask

Harley-Davidson to Assemble More Models in India

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Harley-Davidson is expanding its assembly operations in India, increasing the number of models imported as complete knockdown kits to nine. Harley-Davidson will now assemble the Fat Boy, Fat Boy Special and Heritage Softail Classic in India, joining six models already being assembled in India. The move follows India’s new budget which increases import duties on motorcycles with engines larger than 800cc to 75% from the previous rate of 60%.

Louisiana Bill Updates Maximum Handlebar Height Legislation

Thu, 17 May 2012

Louisiana state lawmakers have approved a bill that would change the maximum height of motorcycle handlebars. Current state law restricts handlebar height to no more than 15 inches above the seat, a somewhat arbitrary level, but a common choice with 17 other states. The House has voted 87-0 in favor of Senate Bill 582 to change the maximum height to the rider’s shoulder level, as measured while sitting on the seat.

Harley Skateboard Trick – Awesome Motorcycle Jump

Tue, 28 Apr 2009

Everything needs to be jumped over with a skateboard at some point in human history.  People, benches, cars, cats, senior citizens, conclusions, ships, …. I’m getting a little metaphorical here…  Why not motorcycles?  Let’s jump some motorcycles on a skateboard and let’s make them Harley-Davidson motorcycles to boot. Harley is on fire with releasing “viral video” to promote their Dark Custom line and have now released this interesting video of a “modded” skateboard with fireworks strapped to it flying over some bikes.  Personally, I think it  looks like the guy is hanging from a wire when he crosses over those bikes.
