1972 Harley-Davidson Sportster 1000 , Up for sale is a 1972 Harley Davidson XLH with electric and kick-start. I purchased this matching frame and engine bike three years as a true barn-find. Since then the bike has been rebuilt and is not original. The motor was a total rebuild, cases split and top end rebuilt by Johnson Engine Technology (JET) out of Westerly RI to the tune of 4K plus. The motor was dyno-run and the motor produces 55.20 HP. When I did the motor I did not want it bored and stroked. Not including the engine, I have receipts for $2,400 (mostly from V-Twin) for the rebuild including, powder-coating, all new wiring and components, shocks, tires and re-laced wheels and more. For the Iron-head aficionado, yes it is a 1972 with 1974 lower forks, sliders, and disk brake. I purchased the bike this way. There was never intent to sell this bike as such I know I put more money into it then I will get back. However, because of other projects I need to sell this bike. I have put over 500 miles on it since the rebuild and the bike runs just great! There has not been any place I can remember where this bike did not get complements including when I had it local bike nights and local shows. I have all the receipts of the rebuild and also the bill of sale from the previous owner. The bike is registered in RI. For this vintage bike I do not have a title. I have a current RI registration and I will also provide a Bill of Sale. I if you are interested email me and we can set up a time to talk and discuss a best offer. I have no problem with anyone asking to have the bike looked over by their mechanic such as a pre-buy inspection. Thanks for looking. $6,500.00
