You are looking at a "One of A Kind" Hand Built Thunder Road Motorcycles' Custom 1917 Harley Davidson replica rightfully dubbed "CopperHead"! This Motorcycle has been featured in Magazines, Calenders, and Taken "Best Hand Built Motorcycle" awards at various shows! This bike is NOT a kit. It started its life as a 1979 Harley Davidson Sportster and is currently registered as such today. But that is about the only info that will resemble its start as a 1979 Harley Davidson! The Ironhead 1000cc Sportster engine was chosen as the starting point of this project, the top end of this motor does not have through studs and allowed for heavy cosmetic modifications to produce the "One off" hand built "Copperhead" tribute you see today! This project was produced to portray the stylings and simple elegance of an early 1900's Harley Davidson but offer the owner features like electric start , disc brakes and modern controls! Finished in "Indian Burgundy" acrylic enamel paint, along with all hand painted lettering and striping, it is true to the vintage character it represents. This build took over 6 months to complete and most parts were completely fabricated from scratch using Hand Tools and a welder! The 21" Custom 80 Spoke Front & Rear wheels from "American Wire Wheel" with Radial Rotors are extraordinary! The disc brake set up looks like fine art accenting the wheels! Tires are 90-90-21 up front and 120-70-21 on rear. The unique "Jockey Shift" or Hand Shift with Rocker foot clutch smoothly shifts the 4 speed transmission and is a Fabricated marvel that must be seen in person! Antique accents like Gas primer cups, Gas Tank syringe, and Glass reader gauges exemplify an early century motorcycle but are not required for operation. This bike runs a standard 12 volt system and offers working headlight, tailight, signals and horn! The front forks were fabricated with the help of Factory H.D. Rockers & Springs and also feature one of a kind built-in dampener knobs with Latigo leather discs, all accenting the gold plated headlight bezel! The rear end including rear fender, tailight, and License plate bracket are all hinged and open to the side to allow for rear tire replacement when necessary! It has the standard points and Dyna coil, stock pistons, cams and lifters, the fuel is fed via a M88 Linkert Carburetor and has a dry sump oil system. The bike has been wired with all Mil-Spec wiring, and Euro Components Hand Controls operate the electronics. The riders seat was finished out by Persons Genuine Leather and offers a 3 stage built in cushion suspension. This bike is the nicest riding rigid frame you may ever experience! It is an absolute dream to ride and will draw crowds at every stop. If you have dreamed of owning a vintage Harley Davidson, but want some of the newer technology that makes your ride an enjoyable one, this is your one chance. This bike has about 175 miles on it since it was built and was last ridden in 2011. Since then it has been on display in a climate controlled facility until today. I will include links to video of it running today. FYI the exhaust is not smoking in the video, it has already dropped to 4 degrees celcius here.....brrrrrr! I know I have proabably missed on much of the info, but there is just too much to write about. Hopefully the links and videos will help to better describe this incredible build. Here is the link to Kneeslider, there's a short article and then a link to a youtube video: http://thekneeslider.com/copperhead-1917-harley-davidson-replica-from-a-1979-sportster/ Another short mention in the paper: http://autos.winnipegfreepress.com/news-article/willys-garage/World-of-WOW/id-4562/Video of it on the road and the hand built process:http://youtu.be/UQppNS9SyNo Magazine Spread: http://www.revolutionmotorcyclemag.com/en-featured-bike-No18.htm Start Up on a Cold Sunday November 9th afternoon! http://youtu.be/9CKEdttuLTo?list=UU8jT3L9ylnkMwKy89g_uLrg This bike is for sale locally and we reserve the right to remove the listing at anytime during this auction.

Hello, I'm selling my 1979 Sportster Iron Head Engine. I bought the 1979 Sportser Ironhead three years ago with unknown Miles (privious owner thinks that the bike had around 20 k on it). The bike ran great when I first bought it. I took the engine out of the bike to rebuild it and make a custom motorcycle. The engine is currently disassembled down to the cases. The top end, primary, generator, starter, and oil pump need to be put back together. I got the heads and jugs bored out by competition cycle in Butler WI W/ new piston's and rings. I also have a brand new James Gasket Kit engine kit for the build. I spent over $1000 in gloss black powder coating and engine work on this project. New Pistons! New James Gasket Kit! New Rings! ***This deal will also include a S&S shorty E carburetor!*** The reason I'm selling this engine is because I don't have enough time or interest to finish this project. My loss is your gain. This is a complete engine ready to be put back together to make a great restored custom "New" looking engine. Very Clean! Every part of the engine is now Gloss Black! I also have the frame and original title with all matching numbers included in this sale. *Clean title* Frame with matching Vin numbers included in sale. Local Pick up only. I live 15 minutes outside of Milwaukee, WI. George H. Please feel free to call or text message me with any further questions. (262) 893-6228

Here is a 1979 Sportster that has been lowered and stretched - all new powder coating - 18 rear - 19 front - new tires - all aluminum luster polished - runs superb with lots of power - 23 front 48 rear so it is smooth on the highway - 1980 rear brake setup - custom pipes - reinforced rear shock towers - custom bars - rebuilt top end - Dyna ignition - I also went through the lower end - button e-start workds superbly - hidden key switch - lay-down license plate with red-jewel taillight and working brake light - this is a great bike - stops perfectly - does not leak - I have pics of the bikes history - it came out of Iowa and I built it from the frame up. Clear title - matching frame and engine numbers - this is a nice ironhead. Things that you might want to do - 1) change out the seat and rear fender to something you like - I went a little fast on the design of these last bits cause I wanted to ride the bike -2) the tanks looks awesome but the angle is a little low and you do not get the full 2.2 gallons out of it - not a big deal but the tank could be angled up some to fix this - 3) the rear shock pre-load should be adjusted - I have it very stiff - it rides nice but it is stiff. Email me for more info and pics - no rides unless you are ready to buy - I will also change out the handlebars with tracker style bars for you before you ride it - the tiller style pull backs are not very forgiving and take some time to get used to - thanks for looking. Bike is located in Minneapolis. No low balls - got two big ones of those myself - don;t need anymore. If you want it shipped - you arrange for a carrier (which could be you) to pick it up.

I've got to raise thousands by April 15th, so my '79 HD Sportster 1000 has to be sold. It started as a very original, numbers matching XLH (see photo) with low miles and 2 previous owners. It had been sitting awhile, so it needed the usual.................. Oil Change, Fresh Gas, New Battery, Avon Roadrider Tires, New Oil and Air Filter, New Carb, Valve Adjustment, Primary Chain Adjustment and it started right up, ran and idled great. Many of the original parts were fine, so they were adjusted, lubed and cleaned. I've always had a soft spot for the '78 '79 XLCR Cafe Racer that HD produced, so I decided to take virtually the same frame, engine, suspension, brakes, etc. as the XLCR, and make my own version of a HD Cafe Racer. I used as many used parts as possible to retain the 36 year old patina. The CR is not competed to my satisfaction though.....................Left front brake rotor is a bit warped, The left fork seal weeps a bit, Has some other MINOR leaks, The speedo cable makes some noise, Kickstand needs a block to sit straight, Right battery cover missing, and it jumped out of 2nd gear one time when I romped on it, but I rode it over 100 miles without another problem. It's a true cafe racer, not a highway cruiser, so it was perfect riding to the local bike bars. A vintage bike needs to be pampered with regular oil checks/changes, gas treatment (Seafoam), turn off gas, check tire pressure, put in neutral at lights, started regularly and ridden with respect which will give you trouble free rides for years, not treated like some modern crotch rocket. Early HDs are known for poor brakes, clunky transmissions and vibration, and this bike is no exception, but the sound and torque are unbelievable!. Always draws a crowd, and stands out among baggers and other Harleys. Check my other auction for a budget Cafe Racer. Happy to help with shipping, even overseas and please email any questions.On Mar-30-15 at 04:52:12 PDT, seller added the following information: Clean, Signed Florida Title/ Factory HD Service Manual & Oil Filter Part Number (see pic)On Mar-31-15 at 04:29:50 PDT, seller added the following information: Both gauges work, as do all the lights.....................even the generator and oil pressure warning lights. The bulky stock HD horn was replaced with a smaller horn mounted under the seat, out of view.On Apr-03-15 at 08:47:11 PDT, seller added the following information: A long time HD Ironhead mechanic helped me with an oil change modification (see new pic). When changing engine oil, the oil pump sometimes gets air locked which requires the sending unit to be removed to properly bleed the air/oil. Now with a petcock between the pump and sending unit, you just loosen the valve and let the air bleed naturally. When you see oil, close it up. If you're in a hurry, start the engine with the valve open until only oil comes out. I prefer the first method. Clean, easy, effective.
