I acquired this machine a few months ago, and brought it back to stock form, from race trim, using the parts that came with it.( The pictures showing the stock parts as found are the ones used on this machine, there is not a extra set). The original owner bought this machine new in New York, and campaigned it successfully at Englishtown drag strip and at Atco drag strip, racking up at least 6 documented class wins in Pro Stock. It was then parked in 1974. The original new York inspection sticker is still on the fork tube, The Kendall and S-K tools stickers were due to them being track sponsors in that period. All the spares were wrapped in SOCKS. I started it 2 days after it was recovered, and it is running on the original points and plugs, which was accomplished with only a carb clean and fluid change, and it is still running and you can drive it home on the original plugs and points. ( I will also supply a new set of points, condenser, etc.). The spares that will be included, (pictures are within the link I will provide ) which include the original owners track side tool box , NOS spokes, ( ONE SET ) factory shock tool, some hand made tools of his, NOS cam cover or primary screws, and too many other numerous spares to list. Some of these are NOS spark plugs, (around 5 or 6) 3 NOS countershaft sprockets, , NOS carb rebuild kit, all of the race parts I removed, the original front tire, the drag slick, the machined aluminum struts, drag pipes, the owners running notes and notebook, the service manual, the spare parts book, and the 1973 supplement. I will also include as much of I can from my stock of engine gaskets. All the indicator lights are functional. I replaced a couple of the lenses with NOS ones. It is charging properly, shifts and clutches properly as well, and does not smoke. I removed the spark plugs to inspect the cylinders, and with the pistons TDC, it shows new pistons with no visible carbon. ( See the owners notes about Dytch piston fitment). I can not guarantee these are Dytch pistons, as I did not disassemble any part of the motor, but what I see leads me to believe they are. I also suspect cams, a racing clutch, and stroker flywheels ( again see the notations the original owner noted in the bore and stroke specifications photo, where he noted a different bore and stroke next to the factory specs. The original key switch was inop, ( Still has factory paper isolator intact on the back side of it. ) so I bought a original switch that works, but it drops the keys, so for now it is running on a accessory after market switch.( No wires were cut, and the original dis- assembled switch and the replacement original I bought are also included ). The paper disc isolator is still intact behind the rear brake light switch, as well as the yellow dot on the carb ( factory marked). I installed a new air filter, 2 tires and tubes, and a new headlight bulb, and new battery. I chose to leave the patina as best I could , while waxing as much of it as well, to preserve it as is. There is a 2 inch nick in the very back of the seat (shown in pics), not through to the foam, It is my opinion, this machine would score the high 90's if judged, and will win your local show hands down. The title was transferred Monday last week, and a copy kept of the original. I have written a log of all I have done as well, as well as extra photographs of it in progress. If you are interested in purchasing, please feel free to contact me. The NADA blue book is 8750.00, and with all the documented history, NOS spares, and the race parts included, we feel it exceeds that. The video of it running has some lag in the sound due to being too close with the camera microphone. It does rev quite nicely. The head gaskets show a little seepage, but all it may need is torqued down, I was focused on making it start. I will add a complete top end gasket set to be sure if it needs it you have . I will consider doing that myself if some arrangement is made, contact me for details. ( In reality, though, re-gasketing a top end is a no-brainer) It is, in essence, a time capsule. I am not accepting any trades. Please contact me with your email for a video of it running the first 2 days it was recovered . Thank you for looking, I hope you enjoy. here is the link to additional photographs- http://s1381.photobucket.com/user/Bruce_Kiper/library/ Here is a video I described, I failed to post the first time. This was 2 days after I purchased this year. https://youtu.be/XXrKHOFJAAo I will assist in International shipping as well.

Think of it as a titled running project.Electric startGreat tires -- Nearly new Dunlop rear and nearly new Kenda frontAll chrome is pitting and rustyCarb needs to be rebuilt or at the very least cleaned out.Starts, runs and with some tweeking I've got it idling nicely. Power band is still not perfect as I think the carb needs a good cleanout or rebuild.Clutch drags a little -- when in 1st gear it wants to creep forward when you have the clutch pulled in. Most old Harleys do this with stock type clutches and I would suggest adjusting the clutch to help reduce this.Shifts through all gears.New NAPA Premium AGM battery just installed. I could see this being the start of a cool bobber or chopper project. Hardtail kits are widely available in bolt on or weld on versions. Are use shorter shocks in the rear.

1973 XLCH/XLH Harley Davidson Sportster Custom. Five years ago I broke my back doing a swan drive off a roof and landing on my head. After 16 weeks of therapy and recovery I was able to ride my 2004 Harley Davidson Road King Custom again. During the recovery stage I found a 1973 XLCH basket case and decided to make it a project. I started as soon as I was able not knowing it was going to take me 11/2 years to complete. The restoration was never intended to be total stock but instead to do something that would recognize all the Service Men (foreign or domestic) who fought and are fighting for our freedom. I was hoping it would not cost me too much to accomplish...but.. Hell I was wrong. As I started to dismantle the bike I discovered bad and good parts which could or could not be used again. The only way I figured I could save money was to do all the work myself. I decided that I first better take a Motorcycle Tech course, which I did online....Thanks Penn Foster. I picked up a HD service manual and OEM parts catalog. Once started it seemed to be a never ending story. The further I got into the project the more complicated it got. I had to do lots of research, purchases lots of parts, lots of special tools and have lots of patience. To make a long story short this bike win Best of Show at a Memphis Bike Show in 2010. This bike is a frame up restoration with some modification and additions. The top end has been rebuilt, (rings. bearing, valves, valve guides, etc.) newly painted laced stock spoke rims, new brake caliper/pads and rear brake shoes. All new bearings from the front to rear of bike, powder coated frame and accessories, custom powder coated rear fender and tank, new handle bars and throttle assembly, turn signals with led conversion, new wiring harness, rebuilt front end shocks and new rear spring shocks, newly installed Avon tires, stock Zenith/Bendix carb., ceramic coated drag pipe, kick/electric start system and lots more. The bike starts and runs real well, with great throttle response. I have two large boxes of spare parts, included but not limited to, gaskets, stock parts, bearings, foot pegs, switches, etc... Also included are the OEM Service Manual, Parts Catalog, Complete Purchased Parts and Maintenance Records. NOTE: Frame and Engine have matching VIN numbersIf you have any questions please feel free to "ask a question" on the bottom of page or email, I will try to response asap.

1973 Harley Davidson Sportster XLCH 1000cc. This bike has been in my family since 1985. Minnesota winters limit us to alot of riding so it has spent most of its life in the garage. Here are the highlights: 1. Fatbob tanks with custom gas caps. 2. Wide glide front end with dual front disc brakes. 3 Beach bars. 4. New Mustang seat. Have backrest also. 5. Tires are new. Less than 500 miles on them 6. Braided fuel lines 7 Electric start. 8 Custom fenders. As you can see and are aware, far from stock. Bike color is Porsche Indian Red. 9 New roller chain within 2 years with sprokets. 10. Custom made tail light bracket and seat extension bracket. Current Tabs. 11. Four (4) speed right drive. 12. Aftermarket oil pressure gauge on head 13. Lots of extra chrome all around the motor. My friend works at chrome shop ... :) 14. Saddle bags in excellant shape and retanned. Tool bag in front too. 15. S & S Carb Set-up 16. Clear Minnesota title. 17. Buyer must arrange their own shipping along with quotes. I will help on my end any way I can. 18. Deposit required after auction end of $ 500.00 USD. Remaining balance in 3 business days, unless other arrangements are made and agreed too. If you have any questions I will do my best to answer them. To be clear, the mileage stated is appx at 10,989. That is what is showing on the speedo today. My brother bought it in 1985 with 7,600 miles on the speedo. I placed the beach bars and the new seat on the bike in 2006. Runs great and has been taken care of. I turn alot of heads with this bike and everyone is amazed when they find it is 40 years + old. I'm selling cause I have too many projects in the works and short of room.. Thanks everyone for looking !! Have a great day !!! On Aug-06-14 at 14:21:22 PDT, seller added the following information:

1973 H-D Sportster , Unusual bike. It is a suicide shift (right shift) There is some debate as to if it is a XLH or a XLCH. I am going with XLCH because is has the 4A designator in the vin. It has both elect and kick start. This bike is in pretty poor condition. I have never riden it because it needs repairs. It may be more suitable for a chop or part out. Needs a clutch cable, battery, re-seat the front tire. It does run. It is loud enough to bring the police. Overall the cosmetic is poor. Chrome, paint all need love. The tires are fine, no rust. Bike purchased in NH , no title used in NH. I have never registered the bike. I have all the purchase paperwork and confirmed with the NH dealer. I am told by wiley bike traders how to do it, but I have no interest in doing anything with it. I live in NJ and the process is complicated and since I got the bike as repayment of a debt and have no intention of riding a suicide shift bike- I just dont want to go thru the effort.
