1974 Harley-Davidson Sportster Stroker

This bike started life as a 1974 Harley Sportster XLCH1000. It has had many tasteful modifications done. They're listed below:- S&S Stroker kit installed in the 1970s. Believe it to be 4 5/8". I have pictures of the internals so you can verify. This kit included forged flywheel/crank rods pistons and cylinder base plates. It takes the engine from 1000cc to roughly 1200cc and increases the torque monumentally. It hasn't been 100mi since this stroker kit was installed; it's still in the break-in period.- Dual plugged heads with an Accel coil powering the second set of plugs- Dyna Ignition Booster replacing the points condenser- Entirely converted to electric start. New chrome handlebar controls starter + solenoid.- New extended kick arm and pedal- Hi-flow period-correct air filter assembly- Chrome squared horseshoe oil tank- JPcycles spin-on oil filter kit installed. No more oil filter in the tank (they're hard to source).- Larger oil cooler installed to cool the larger engine- Chrome rocker box covers primary cover right side engine cover points cover gauges chain cover and just about everything else that could be chrome.- Has original Bendix carb which is freshly rebuilt but should have an adjustable main installed. I left the Bendix to maintain the stock look; If you're looking to get real power out of the bike it would benefit from an S&S carb.- Drag pipes- This year it has had the top end redone with all new gaskets.- New paint job this winter- Rebuilt front brake master cylinder and caliper- Have new tank decals if you want themIt is about 99% of the way to an amazing daily driver. I have made friends with every person in my neighborhood because they all stop to comment on it. It just needs a few more things.- I've been using a small battery I had sitting around in it because I always kick start it. To use the electric start you'll want to pick up a new battery.- I bought a generator for it but for whatever reason it doesn't seem to be putting out. Will probably need rebuilt maybe just polarized.- The front tire is original so it should be replaced.This is an amazing bike that really needs a good home. They just don't make them with this character anymore. I've been fixing it up but unfortunately I'm moving across the country for graduate school and I can't swing the shipping. Otherwise I'd ride the wheels off of it.The bike chromed out and in its current very good to excellent condition is worth $5-8K according to NADAguide. The cost to build this engine would be at least $1000 for the stroker kit plus quite a bit more for labor. In light of the few little things the bike needs (front tire generator and battery) I'm asking $7500 OBO. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or offers. Clean and clear title.Thank you very muchNick
