Description:

    This rare and exceptionally well detailed early Sportster was painstakingly restored using a lifetime accumulation of new old stock parts. A highly desired “Competition Hot” model, this bike has been tastefully fitted with period correct accessories.

    A purist will note that this motorcycle could be considered “over restored” The fact is that the polishing and personalizing of motorcycles began at the dealership. Flawless paint, perfect chrome, and beautifully polished aluminum give the bike a “factory custom” appearance.

    This XLCH runs every bit as nicely as it looks, but it's exceptionally tidy appearance is what make her a standout at any show.

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.
