This is an FXSB, factory low-rider. Not a B conversion I worked hard to restore her to factory stock as the modified customs were saturating the market and a stock motorcycle became the black sheep. Being this is so rare it was a great choice!For starters, the tranny is a well rebuilt four speed but can be upgraded to a five in a four case even though some people aren't aware that it can be and will say it can't. A prospective buyer told me that he heard that parts are not available for the old shovels and that is not true. Just look up shovelhead in eBay and you can see what is there. Chrome specialties and other catalogs still show parts as well. There is not a part on this bike I can't find and much NOS is still available. The replacement parts these days are better manufactured than the original ones were manufactured back in the day. She is not an AMF but has many highly sought after AMF stuff left on her such as the rims, swing arm, controls, etc.. I just noticed that the battery box is not in the pic but I have a chrome box with lid and strap. Has many upgrades like adjustable push rods and hydraulic lifters, polished and ported heads & polished intakes, S&S Super B with turbulator and upgraded pickup tube, solid state ignition wired for single fire, twin console that has NOS factory blue high beam jewel not the red replacement found in catalogs. That was hard to locate. Located and installed original 8mm setup with clutch basket, pulley. and new belt. It took two years to find those parts but did. This is a very fast motorcycle I just don't have the time that it deserves. Plus I need a down payment for a house, I have five vehicles and something has to give. Your getting more than your paying for, a lot more. And easily will be ready for riding with a little work. I mean it is a Harley, can be rebuilt in your living room like back in the day. no computers, just fuel kick and go! Unknown miles but when the heads were off. I carefully scraped all the carbon off the pistons and lip was removed, and vacuumed as I went. The carbon was surprisingly light and had little rim on the cylinders. This is one sweet old school machine with all matching numbers and clear Texas title. I had spent 4500 on the restore with just the few things I dreamed of doing left to go, like a five in a four speed with a 3" BDL belt drive, when by advice I changed the oil with the recommended 60 weight by the local Harley shop. The oil pump was the only thing I didn't replace and the older motorcycles shouldn't use the 60 as they are air cooled and perform better with regular 30 or 40 depending on the time of year. The oil pump failed to extract oil from the case and it is full of oil. The gaskets are saturated but the lower end has been protected by the oil. This did not occur while riding it and the motor is free and turning. Though it wont take much to get it up and running again. I have hit a wall in spending money on her, If she were up I would not be selling her.
