Bought this to make another Cafe Racer out of. I only ride Cafe Baggers, due to a broken back (yeah, from riding a Cafe Racer!)This bike will take more time and money than I have to give to it. There is lots of rust, and how many "little things" are missing,I couldn't tell you. So understand in advance you are getting FULL DISCLOSURE. I have not tried to turn over the motor, as ithas no kick starter. You could add that, along with keeping the original electric start, with an aftermarket side cover, designedto allow this. I have NO IDEA of the condition of the motor/transmission, or anything else. The bike was Harley's answer to the Cafe Racer craze that most people didn't adopt, but dreamed that they could do. I stillam racing after 45 years of it! We have a "5-Day Road Race" every year. Gone over the Sierras with my '02 XL on it. Camping inthe snow. And I don't even consider myself "Hard Core". Bikes are meant to be ridden, and rode hard. I haven't gotten around tothis one, so off it goes. This is certainly a PROJECT. It is very much a "Niche Market" motorcycle. Not many people know what this is. They onlymade a few of them, and only for 1977-1978. It is basically an Iron Head Sportster with clipon-type bars and rearsets. Theyare just not far back enough for me. I need to lay down. My normal pegs are about 6 to 8 inches aft of the Passenger Pegson my other Harley. And that's with the Drag Bars 4 to 6 inches Forward of their normal location. Clip-ons wouldn't work onthe XL, due to that necessity. This bike is REGISTERED TO ME, so you will have to TAKE OWNERSHIP by showing me your Drivers License so that I can transfer it through the DMV. I will no longer be responsible for parking tickets for this vehicle. NO EXCEPTIONS! I live in Santa Barbara, California. I am in no mood to try to ship a motorcycle, so you would need to pick it up. If youpay in advance, I could drive it in the back of my pickup to you for $1 a mile (don't forget, I have to come back). NOARGUMENTS ABOUT THAT! (If you can't afford a dollar a mile, just come get it yourself). That would mean the Los Angelesarea would cost you $100 to $140. You would, also have to BE HOME for me to drop it off, or I would turn around andyou would still pay for the trip. The bike is fairly priced, but you can ship me a slightly lesser offer. Just don't expect a reply to low-balling. I will not takenonsense from anyone. I am seriously tired of the gamers and the scammers. I don't have the time to answer all of the goofygames people are fond of playing. So if you don't get a reply to your silly-assed low-ball scam, know that I don't want to dealwith you as a result of your attitude and conduct. Please just show some class and leave your games at home.
