Description

Running complete Harley Sportster that needs some love. Think of it as a titled running project.

Electric startGreat tires -- Nearly new Dunlop rear and nearly new Kenda frontAll chrome is pitting and rustyCarb needs to be rebuilt or at the very least cleaned out.Starts, uns and with some tweeking I've got it idling nicely. Power band is still not perfect as I think the carb needs a good cleanout or rebuild.Clutch drags a little -- when in 1st gear it wants to creep forward when you have the clutch pulled in. Most old Harleys do this with stock type clutches and I would suggest adjusting the clutch to help reduce this.Shifts through all gears.
I could see this being the start of a cool bobber or chopper project. Hardtail kits are widely available in bolt on or weld on versions. Are use shorter shocks in the rear. All kinds of options are out there.
