1957 Ironhead Sportster Vintage CHopper NICE Bates Magneto XLH XLCH 900 panhead

Very Clean 1957 XL 900 Sportster Survivor Chopper.

First year sporty. looks like an old Ness frame & Denvers springer. sweet old mural work. Bike is VERY VERY sanitary and shows well.

Sitting for over 20 years. I just rebuilt the magneto (super hot spark) fresh S&S . new clutch. . 060 over pistons. fresh valve job and a some nice port work.

Other then the occasional kickback the bike starts pretty easy and runs amazing--- lots of power.

Generator works but I pitched all the wiring (it was really ratty & no wiring is better then a rats nest) so you will have to make a simple harness.

Matching case halfs and good numbers also clear title.

Bike is also for sale locally you can call me anytime with any Questions 708/878/2976.

Bike is located just south of Chicago IL.

I do have a video of the bike running.

Also:  this is a 50+ year old antique kickstart only Harley and not for the faint of heart. although it runs great it will need the occasional tweaking. tinkering to keep it in top shape also the occasional sore ankle :/
