1970 Harley-Davidson Sportster , This bike is insanely groovy. I remember when i first had it in the back of a truck, hauling it to my brother's garage to get started repairing it. Everyone that passed was mesmerized by the color. I bought it not running. I wanted to learn about the famous ironhead, so i bought a service manual and got to work. So many times I took the kick start petal to the back of my leg. Finally the carburetor was perfectly cleaned. The distributor precisely set. The valve train adjusted to compete with and industrial sewing machine. I spent 20 hours taking it from a rusty piece of S&%t to what compares to an aged bottle of wine. It starts in 2 or 3 kicks when it's cold. I'll show you the way it prefers to be started. 2 days ago I had new tires put on. They have less than 1 mile on them. The tube that goes in the rear is special and apparently has to be ordered from the 70s... hassle. But it's done. It's ready to ride, not truly a leak on the thing. I'll be disappointed if the buyer repaints this bike any other color. $4,199.00
