Harley-Davidson Sportster description

 Fully loaded, all available options, all the hard work is done.  I don't want to sell this bike, but wife says it's got to go if I want another project.

Matching belly #'s.  Matching Jugs.  3,400 original miles.  Yes, 3,400.

Front tire looks original and has dry rot.  Rear tire replaced with vintage look a like.

Linkert professionally rebuilt.

Needs to be dialed in and rode.  I just don't have the time.

I will help with shipping.

$500 deposit due when you win, remainder within 7 days. Any questions, call Colin at 320-221-9531.

This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to win a great bike - this is a hard year to find fully loaded and unmolested.

*all information presented is true to the best of my knowledge - I have a 100% rating on eBay and take that very seriously*

The story with this bike is that a man was dying of cancer and asked his brother-in-law that if he bought a bike, would the brother-in-law buy it from him when he died because he couldn't really afford the bike.  The man bought the bike, and rode it with the brother-in-law.  After the man passed, the brother-in-law bought the bike and the bike sat in a barn for a long, long, time.  The mans son rebuilt the bike and I bought it.  I only found out about this story after I bought the bike so I have no reason to doubt it.  It's a great bike, a great story, and will make someone very happy.  Unfortunately, I just don't have the room and this bike needs to be dialed in and ridden.  I have all the available chrome and original seat.

Look at the pictures - they tell the story!

In that time, he estimates he’s racked up well north of 500,000 miles on a wide variety of motorcycles from many different parts of the world. He retired from Harley-Davidson in 2009, but the prospect of helping Motus develop an all-American sport-tourer was just the opportunity he needed to come out of retirement and utilize his test riding expertise.

Sons Of Anarchy Claims “We Basically Saved Harley.”

“We basically saved Harley,” says Sons of Anarchy co-star Mark Boone Jr. (Bobby) to Susan Carpenter of The Hollywood Reporter. In a time before the economic meltdown, motorcycle sales, especially for Harley-Davidson, were booming. After the collapse, sales have only started to pick up again within the past two years (at nowhere near pre-2008 levels, however).
