NOS Harley XR750 Engine

Offered for auction is this NOS Harley XR750 race engine. This engine is something that I had set aside for a caf? racer project that I'm no longer going to do so here is your chance to build your own street-tracker machine - or even use it for racing as it was intended. Rumors persist that Harley is going to stop making these engines & machines but even if that does not happen real soon these are rare and valuable treasures.

If you are reading this you probably already know that Harley will sell you their XR750 "engine package" for about $11k. However this only gives you the cases heads & cylinders - no internals. With my engine you get the engine package plus the internals of which 98% are also NOS. The NOS cylinders have already been honed to fit the NOS Cosworth pistons and the NOS crank has already been assembled & trued. The rod bearing alone in this engine is $1200 from Harley. I don't mean to keep throwning numbers around but I want you to understand that it would take about $8k more than I'm selling this engine for to duplicate it.

This engine comes with a close ratio road racing racing trans most of which is NOS. A review of the photos will show the other internals - many of which are still in their sealed factory bags. My plan had been to convert this engine to a kick starter but I never modified the cases so no worries. But that is why the engine has a cam cover and kicker cover from a 1970 XLCH on it. These are NOS parts as well so if you want to convert this engine back to full race spec you will get a pretty penny for these parts when you sell them. Also included are a set of NOS factory headers still in their original boxes. The NOS magnesium1/2 speed oil pump and magneto are also included. There is a NOS spare magnesium sump in addition to the one on the engine.Also included are a group of factory papers on setting up the engine and also an old Harley invoice from when some of these parts were originally issued to the Harley dyno lab. This engine is a 2005 engine. I listed it under the first year offered because eBay expects a 16 digit vin for newer stuff but since this is a race engine it does not have a full road vin. For that reason this sale is on a Bill of Sale only - there are no titles for race engines.

Please ask all questions prior to bidding and have your finances lined up too. Overseas bids are welcome but I can not give an exact shipping price until everything is packed. I can include a secure wooden crate to house the engine if necessary or break it down into several boxes. The engine stand is included with the engine. Payment is due within one week of auction end.

This is a private auction so you will not see the bids of other people that have come in.
