If you're looking for a sportster as an inexpensive Harley. this bike is not for you. Motor cases magna-fluxed. previous weld at right rear removed & replaced. replacement engine main races custom machined to order. original main races cut out of cases. new races tig welded back into cases. $2100 for case work alone. New S&S stock stroke crank. wheels. rods. pistons and cylinders. Andrews c-grind cams. Andrews gears in the gearbox with a Trock cast iron trapdoor. S&S super E carb. Mallory electronic ignition.

The only parts of the original engine that were reused were the cases. heads. cam side engine cover and oil pump body -- everything else new -- no exceptions. I have $9600 in receipts for the engine alone. No speedo / odo. but I estimate around 1600 miles on the bike since completion. Currently titled. licensed insured and inspected in Texas as a 1966 HD XLCH. Starts with 3-4 kicks when cold every time. 1 kick when warm. runs flawlessly. Big carb on a small displacement motor drinks gas. but the engine pulls hard enough under acceleration that you really have to hold on tight. Lots of powder coating. Frame and tins have two coats: base coat for color. and matte clear second coat. Fork lowers and trees are shaved and powder coated black. Speedo. air cleaner cover. rear drum brake housing (both sides). aluminum grips. brake light / plate holder. custom aluminum battery box all powder coated black.

Currently no bitch pad on rear fender. but custom folding passenger pegs are in place. Custom aluminum battery box. Custom stainless rear axle plates. Custom sissy bar. Real leather V-Twin solo tractor seat. See photos for details -- last image is my lumbar spine. so don't ask why I'm selling. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. but I will assist any way I can. Bike sold where is. as is. no warranty implied. but inspections are welcome. During inspection. I can start and run the bike and will happily let someone watch me ride as much as they deem necessary. No one will ride this bike unless the sale price is in my hand in cash. so don't ask. Questions are welcome. but don't waste our time with low offers. If it doesn't sell in a month. I'll lower the price then -- not before. Any buyer serious enough to put up a $100 deposit will get copies of every single receipt from the build -- about $19K -- via email or snail mail. If they buy. they get the $100 credited towards the purchase. If not. the $100 covers my time and expense -- it's a lot of receipts. Check my 1300+ perfect feedback and buy with confidence.
