Harley-Davidson Sportster description

This Harley Davidson Sportster is very fast and runs excellent.  It has a Barnett racing clutch, brand new primary chain, and a brand new shifting lever.  Transmission has been shimmed and gone through.  The motor itself has 24,139 actual miles.  Recently, I have been drag racing this bike in 300' dirt drags.  Consequently, I have a brand new Maxxis knobby dirt bike tire on the back and a brand new 19" knobby on the front.  I have the street tires and will include them with the bike. 

Some of the features are:
RAM air to a Bendix carb
New front forks (extended 4" from stock forks) with chrome springs
New chrome exhaust with megaphones
19 tooth front sprocket which gears it down from the original 23 tooth sprocket - I have both sprockets and will include the 23 tooth with the bike
O ring roller chain
Awesome paint job - House of Kolors cobalt blue candy over black with sea blue flake - turns chameleon colors in the sun
Speedometer and Tachometer are original - Speedometer goes to 150 mph and the tach has no red line.  I have never seen this on a Harley before, and the motor will turn 8000 rpm
Also not typical on a Harley, this bike has a power band - - when under full acceleration, the bike comes up to about 4000 rpm and snaps to 8000 rpm
Currently, when raced in 300' dirt drags, first gear is about 150 ft, powershift second, and hang on for the other 150 ft because you're going 75 mph

I purchased the bike from a friend, and I don't know the history prior to that.  But it is in excellent condition!!!!  I'm sure you will love it as much as I have.

I will deliver the bike if you live within 100 miles of Grand Haven, MI.  Otherwise, shipping/transportation are the buyer's responsibility.  Payment - - I will accept official bank check or cash upon pick-up.

If you have any questions, please call Cliff at (616)842-4026.  Thanks!

Shelved Harley-Davidson Penster Tilting Trike Prototypes Revealed

Thu, 04 Aug 2011

The Harley-Davidson Museum has pulled the covers off discarded prototypes of a leaning three-wheeled motorcycle developed by The Motor Company. Harley-Davidson commissioned automobile hot rodding legend John Buttera to build the original prototype (pictured above) in 1998. Codenamed the “Penster”, the Trike looks like it could have been an earlier version of the Can-Am Spyder, but it had a tilting front end similar to the Piaggio MP3.
