This bike started life as a 1974 Harley Sportster XLCH1000. It has had many tasteful modifications done. They're listed below:- S&S Stroker kit installed in the 1970s. Believe it to be 4 5/8". I have pictures of the internals so you can verify. This kit included forged flywheel/crank, rods, pistons, and cylinder base plates. It takes the engine from 1000cc to roughly 1200cc and increases the torque monumentally. It hasn't been 100mi since this stroker kit was installed; it's still in the break-in period.- Dual plugged heads, with an Accel coil powering the second set of plugs- Dyna Ignition Booster replacing the points condenser- Entirely converted to electric start. New chrome handlebar controls, starter + solenoid.- New extended kick arm and pedal- Hi-flow period-correct air filter assembly- Chrome squared horseshoe oil tank- JPcycles spin-on oil filter kit installed. No more oil filter in the tank (they're hard to source).- Larger oil cooler installed to cool the larger engine- Chrome rocker box covers, primary cover, right side engine cover, points cover, gauges, chain cover, and just about everything else that could be chrome.- Has original Bendix carb which is freshly rebuilt, but should have an adjustable main installed. I left the Bendix to maintain the stock look; If you're looking to get real power out of the bike, it would benefit from an S&S carb.- Drag pipes- This year it has had the top end redone with all new gaskets. - New paint job this winter- Rebuilt front brake master cylinder and caliper- Have new tank decals if you want themIt is about 99% of the way to an amazing daily driver. I have made friends with every person in my neighborhood because they all stop to comment on it. It just needs a few more things. - I've been using a small battery I had sitting around in it because I always kick start it. To use the electric start, you'll want to pick up a new battery. - I bought a generator for it but for whatever reason it doesn't seem to be putting out. Will probably need rebuilt, maybe just polarized. - The front tire is original so it should be replaced.This is an amazing bike that really needs a good home. They just don't make them with this character anymore. I've been fixing it up but unfortunately I'm moving across the country for graduate school and I can't swing the shipping. Otherwise I'd ride the wheels off of it. The bike, chromed out and in its current very good to excellent condition is worth $5-8K according to NADAguide. The cost to build this engine would be at least $1000 for the stroker kit plus quite a bit more for labor. In light of the few little things the bike needs (front tire, generator and battery) I'm asking $7500 OBO. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or offers. Clean and clear title. Thank you very much,Nick
