Harley-Davidson Sportster description

Awesome looking bike! 1974 Harley XLH chopper with a 38 degree rake and 1938 Springer front end. Originally 1000cc, increased to 1200cc with stroker kit. Because of stroker kit, kick start does not work and the bike is electric start. New starter. Very sturdy, all welds are well done, and tank is in good condition.

Originally bought this while I was serving in the US Army from the person who chopped the bike. It's been sitting in storage for the past couple years so has a little bit of rust and is not currently running. Gas and oil were drained before putting in storage so it is ready to ship. Was running before I put it in storage so assuming it needs a couple hours of work to get it started- oil, new battery, and a safety check. Also I have manuals, receipts, and diagrams from the person who did the modifications.

I haven't touched the odometer but I'm not certain what the true mileage is. Was registered in WA and title is from WA also. All in my name.

According to Harley-Davidson, the display will include “idyllic rural landscapes and still life watercolour paintings with strong luminosity and form that hint at time spent in the countryside during 48 years as the pacesetter in motorcycle design.” The firm's museum has also announced other special exhibits planned for later in the year, including “Journey of the Iron Elite: The Evolution of Motorcycle Culture through the Eyes of African-Americans” and “Born to be Wild: The Black Leather Jacket” - a 4000-square-foot display dedicated purely to black biker jackets...
