Harley-Davidson Sportster description

Note: In order to reduce the liklyhood of non-paying bidders this listing includes buyer requirements. If you do not meet the requirements you may contact me to discuss purchasing.

This K-Model reflects a perfect blend of vintage and contemporary chopper-craft. The transformation began with its previous owners years ago and we've recently reconfigured it to its present form. The original motor is situated in a late 60's 900 Sportster chassis with a 2" stretch bolt on hardtail, and 4"-over Forks by Frank. The later Evo-era Sportster tank provides a sleek line to augment the mild chassis stretch. The result is a simple yet tastefully executed period inspired chopper.

The dark emerald green paint shines nicely. There are a few chips in the front fender and some light scratches but overall it maintains an attractive, presentable appearance (pictures represent condition) The cases and cylinder heads have been show polished to a brilliant shine. The cam chest and primary & sprocket covers, along with tappet guide tubes, motor mounts and oil tank are beautiful vintage chrome.

This bike has no mechanical issues. The engine was recently disassembled completely, reconditioned and resealed. The engine cases are in great condition with no cracks or prior weld-repairs. At some point in the past the left side case was dealer upgraded with a factory replacement case with trap-door provision. It starts and runs good, doesn't smoke or have any unusual engine noises. The clutch works great and the transmission shifts flawlessly.

Its perfectly tuned SU carburetor and auto advance distributor enable easy starts hot or cold; usually in 1 kick. It has good Harley/Dunlop rubber front and rear and the charging system has been upgraded to a 12 volt system for reliability. Clear MO Title!

Most Obvious Press Release Of 2013: Biker Chicks Sexier Than Pedestrians

Tue, 31 Dec 2013

In a misallocation of funds Harley-Davidson recently spent an untold buttload of money proving something men have known for years: That women who ride motorcycles are sexier and better between the sheets than women who don’t ride. Common responses from male motorcyclists to the press release were: Duh; Tell me something I didn’t already know; Can I be a recruiter? Meant to entice non-riding females into the Harley-Davidson army by pimping the Bar & Shield’s website, www.h-d.com/women, the press release was peppered with effeminate catchphrases such as “physical intimacy, “communication,” and “improves relationships” but the basal message is one of female motorcyclists being sexier, happier and more confident than their non-riding counterparts.

Harley-Davidson’s 110th Anniversary Party Is Just A Week Away

Fri, 23 Aug 2013

Harley-Davidson has been preparing for its 110th anniversary party for the past year, celebrating in 11 countries on six different continents. In the past year, Harley-Davidson employees, dealers and riders have shared thousands of amazing experiences, including a ride through the Tibetan Plateau in China, a parade along the beaches of Sao Paulo and even a Papal blessing. But now the party is coming home to Milwaukee over Labor Day weekend, which promises to be the biggest celebration of them all.  Milwaukee residents have always been cordial hosts for Harley-Davidson enthusiasts who make the journey to the City of Festivals from around the world. One Anniversary tradition is the welcoming home of thousands of riders by Milwaukee area residents who stand on the city’s highway overpasses with homemade welcome signs as riders arrive in Milwaukee.
