Ok here we go! This bike started its life as a 1995 Buell S2 Thunderbolt with the Harley 1200cc Sportster engine, from there I built a drop seat hardtail chopper using mostly all parts from Buell other then the frame ,front end and plastic's. Then! I had another Idea to make it into a Custom Trike. I have the paper work " Manufacturer's Statement of Origin" (MSO) for Registration Requirements for Trike Frame. The engine ran great when it was in the drop seat chopper, its a 1200cc with Dynatek 2000i Ignition Module and Coil with a S&S Shorty "E" Carb. The Frame has a 45 degree rake with 4+ over DNA Springer Front End with Buell Thunderbolt Front wheel. The rear wheels are both 200 Buell wheel, which you can mount any wheel you like there is plenty of room I was even thinking to run car tires on the rims. YOU will need to Finish this bike meaning it will need to be rewired ( will come with almost all of the wire you will need) Bars, controls headlight are all wired up, you will just need to run wire to the rear of frame for you lights. There is a custom made fuse box and battery box all setup that mount on frame. The rear axle spacers need to be cut to size ( all spacers needed come with bike). Everything comes bike to put it back together other then a rear brake line and some fitting and hose's for oil tank. You will also need to make a tag holder I can help with some missing small parts and hardware to put it together, I no long have the time, but I have to time to answer all your questions and take more pic's if needed. I just took notice that the handlebars in pic's are for mockup and come with the bike, but I also have the other one that have the controls and headlight on and wired up through bars that aren't shown in the pic's, I will email pic's if needed...Thanks Please take note, I "DO NOT" have a Title for this bike. I have the MSO for the frame, and all paper work on every part I needed for its build. I have the Title for the Buell S2 Thunderbolt bike but thats for numbers on frame and not engine. So to get this on the street you will have to do the paper work for your own state, or whatever you need to do. The pictures on here show a mockup of the bike together, right now its in my shop as a roller. Please look at all the pic's and ask questions as this is a "AS IS SALE"..Thanks

OWN A PIECE OF MOTORCYCLE HISTORY !This is a limited production "Tuber", one of the last hand assembled by a few of Erik Buell's expert team in East Troy Wisconsin, back in the early days, only 384 were made this first year of the S3T in 1997. American Muscle, made in USA. Very light but strong hand laid fiberglass fender, fairing, gas tank, and rear tail section. Once Harley took over Buell in 1998, the expensive to make fiberglass components all went to mass production cheap ABS plastic. Ducati style hand crafted chrome-moly perimeter frame, Performance Machine front and Brembo rear calipers, and inverted WP forks. Corbin seat ($500), D&D Racing carbon fiber exhaust cannister ($500), lightweight quick release lockable luggage ($1500 option), new sport touring tires; front IRC ProTech SP-11F, rear Metzeler RoadTech Z6 ($400), newer AGM battery ($100) , newer front brakes, new rear brakes. That's already $3000 in stuff without even mentioning the rest of the bike. USA bidders only. MODEL YEARS PRODUCED 97-98, 00-02 APPROX. NUMBER BUILT 1,779 1997 = 384 1998 = 630 1999 = NIL 2000 = 349 2001 = 164 2002 = 252 Displacement: 1203cc 91HP@5800RPM Torque: 87 ft.lbs @ 5,200 rpm Bought it in September 2012 with 14665 miles, as a third bike that I always wanted, and have only put on a thousand miles in three years. Originally I was going to completely refreshen the bike to showroom condition...someday...well guess its time for a new owner. Another "Bueller" enthusiast would be perfect. Starts and runs excellent, it is tuned and piped for 100HP like the later Thunderstorm motor but without the troublesome head and cylinder gasket issues of the 1998 and later models. Has always been run on Mobil One synthetic 15w50. Primary chain and belt drive tension adjusted, valves are maintenance free hydraulic pushrods, self adjusting. Carburetor has been re-jetted for performance. Rear end lowered two inches for better comfort, can easily be redone to original. Handles incredible, upright sitting position and pretty comfortable in the saddle overall. I added rubber gel grips to smooth out some hand vibration. Bike is very light, only around 450lbs, top speed around 130 in under a minute for those adrenaline junkies. The luggage black tubing frame is one piece and removes in minutes for a very sport bike look, tail fender was also clipped by previous owner for a very clean modern look. Its imperfect, if it was showroom the value would be $5,000. It was almost $14,000 new in 1997. This rare Thunderbolt ST3 needs some small cosmetic details finished; gas tank ovals were going to be airbrushed with the new Pegasus Buell symbols, some small paint bubbles on gas tank, left foot peg rubber end is broken off, some scratches on saddle bags. Fairing leg lowers missing, removed for better cooling. Upper plastic belt drive cover missing, removed for easy drive belt inspection. Custom made license plate bracket, nice, but not original. Bonus: BUY IT NOW winner will also receive two authentic Buell saddlebag liners which are worth $200 (not pictured), they are no longer available from Buell and nearly impossible to find. Keep in mind Ebay charges $125 to the seller (me), so if you can come see it in person, cash in pocket will get a better deal. I am near the Pittsburgh Airport, fly in, I will pick you up, ride home. Its reliable enough to ride cross country on any given day. Everything works as it should. It's listed for sale local so I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. An outdoor fabric cover is included if needed. I have many other photos if you request, apologies for the poor quality. Mileage will go up slightly as I still ride it every week. Also I am open to trading my Buell Thunderbolt plus cash to anyone who has an adventure type bike I can occasionally ride off road; like a Buell Ulysses, Triumph Tiger, BMW, KTM, Husqvarna, etc. Unlike most motorcycles, consider this one an investment rather than an expense. The value goes up slightly every year instead of down, and in 2017, at twenty years, will appreciate even faster as a classic. (nice unedited article below for those curious about Buells. Here in Pittsburgh, where Erik Buell grew up, worked as a motorcycle mechanic, and attended the University of Pittsburgh; Buells are LEGEND.) THE 1999 BUELL S3 THUNDERBOLTBy Chuck Hawks Thunderbolt! That is the only way to understand this motorcycle. I had looked at Buell motorcycles, especially the top of the line S3 Thunderbolt, almost every time I visited my local Harley-Davidson dealer, but I never understood these motorcycles until I finally took a test ride. That is what the Buell motorcycles are all about: the ride. There are fancier, plainer, costlier, cheaper, prettier, homelier, faster, slower, lighter, heavier, bigger, and smaller motorcycles available, but in all my years of riding I have never ridden anything like a Buell. That also seems to be the opinion of the Buell owners I have talked to, including those who have owned a variety of expensive (read Italian) sport bikes. Speaking of which, Harley's investment in Buell appears to be paying off. Last year (1998), Buell outsold all of the other "specialty sport bikes" (a term which, I believe, excludes the regular production of the Japanese Big Four) in the U.S. except Ducati, who managed to stay in first place by the slimmest of margins. This year, Buell expects to outsell Ducati and take over the number one spot. As I write this, in 1999, the Buell line of Vee-twin sport bikes consists of three models. There is the surprisingly economical M2 Cyclone, the X1 Lightning street fighter, and the sport or sport-touring oriented S3 Thunderbolt. All exhibit similar, but not identical, styling and performance, and all three are powered by a modified Harley-Davidson Sportster 1200 motor. All three are sporty motorcycles designed to get you off the line and down the road quickly, with the maximum amount of fun. Real world performance is the forte' of these bikes, and not much can catch them on the road. Like all Buells, but unlike most other sport and sport-touring bikes, the engine of the S3 is left open to view. There is no bodywork to hide that big powerplant. The visible V-twin motor is probably the easiest way to identify a Buell American Motorcycle. In a world of look-alike sport bikes, nothing else looks like a Buell. Because I am a fan of the sport-touring concept, the Thunderbolt S3T is the Buell for me. All Thunderbolts feature a frame mounted sport fairing designed to protect the rider and gas tank (without obscuring the motor), You get to pick from a variety of color combinations for the Thunderbolt. My favorite color scheme for 1999 is the "Molten Orange" (fairing,tank, and tail section) with "Nuclear Blue" (frame and wheels) color scheme. Hey, there's safety in conspicuity! I recommend the S3T touring package. This includes touring handlebars, fairing lowers, two fitted soft storage bags for the fairing, an underseat tote bag (perfect for a toolkit, and not much else), and the newly improved, color coordinated, detachable, hard saddlebags, which come with fitted removable liners. The saddle bags come with your choice of deep (read bulky) or narrow (read trim) covers. Although the deep covers will swallow a full face helmet, I prefer the sleeker and more attractive narrow covers, a triumph of form over function. The other covers can be ordered separately later, if it becomes necessary. I don't have much use for the color matched fairing lowers, included in the S3T touring package, because they trap even more of the already excessive heat generated by the big 74 cubic inch engine throbbing within inches of the rider's legs, and detract from the bike's appearance. Also, they are fairly flimsy (the body parts of these bikes are designed to be light in weight) and stick out to the sides, and are therefore liable to damage if the bike falls over in a parking lot mishap (or something similar). Fortunately, they are designed to be easily removed. Two options available only from the aftermarket (as I write this) are a taller "touring" windshield, and thicker, softer, gel handgrips (is anybody at Buell taking notes?). Buell does offer an excellent tank bag, which I recommend. The result is a sport-touring bike from the sporty end of the spectrum. Other neat features of the Thunderbolt include a chrome-moly tubular perimeter frame, digital electronic fuel injection (which eliminates the hassle of a fuel tank petcock, as well as a choke), hydraulic self-adjusting valve lifters, electronic ignition, belt drive, stainless steel header pipes, fully adjustable suspension with inverted front forks and a rear mono shock which operates in extension, aluminum arc swingarm, hollow 3-spoke cast wheels, "Z" rated radial tubeless tires, superb brakes, completely sealed maintenance-free battery, halogen headlight with an adjustment knob in the fairing, excellent fairing mounted mirrors (you actually see the traffic behind you, instead of your arms), European passing lamp flasher (a little trigger on the left handlebar controls that flashes the high beam), and folding footpegs. About all that is missing is self-canceling turn signals (Dear Buell representative: please note). All 1999 Buells come with a much improved dual seat, and I am happy to report that the new, wide, Thunderbolt seat is adequately comfortable for solo commuting and Sunday rides. I have not taken any long trips, so I cannot comment on its suitability for serious touring. A drawback to the wider seat is that it is a longer reach to the ground than it used to be from the old, uncomfortable but narrower, version. The factory specification says the seat height is 29.5 inches, but they must have measured it with the suspension at both ends set to the lowest possible setting, and the tires flat. It feels higher than that. The Thunderbolt would not be my first choice, given my 30 inch inseam, for a lot of complicated parking lot maneuvers. Nor is it a particularly good bike for riding with a passenger. The bike is somewhat top heavy to start with, and this top heavy feeling is aggrivated by a seat that puts the passenger too high and too far back. If you ride two up a lot, a Buell may not be the bike for you. After mentioning the new seat, I should mention that I find the rider's seating position quite comfortable. An average size rider is postioned in a relaxed position with a slight froward lean. It is better, in my opinion, than the seating position on a BMW R 1100RS sport-tourer, or a Triumph Thunderbird Sport (bikes with which it might reasonably be compared). The location of the rider's footpegs, in particular, is very good. So is the height and reach of the touring handlebar. The layout of the handlebar controls and switches is conventional, and easy to learn. Mounted in the dash are a large tach and speedo, plus a surprisingly useful quartz clock. Also on the dash are a variety of idiot lights, including a handy low fuel warning light which illuminates when .4 gallon of petrol remains. The large 5.4 gallon fuel tank means 225-265 miles (on average) before the low fuel warning light comes on. This is outstanding range, greater than that offered by most luxury touring bikes. On a recent 205 mile Saturday ride from Eugene to Sisters and back, involving both the old and new Mckenzie Highways over Oregon's Cascade Mountains, I actually averaged 59.94 miles per gallon. That would mean approximately 300 miles from a full tank of gas before the low fuel light comes on! More complete technical specifications for all of the Buells, and many other top sport bikes, can be found in the "Sport Motorcycle Comparison Chart," on my Travel page. The only area that needs improvement, to make the Thunderbolt a decent touring bike, is rider protection. The factory supplied windshield is pure sport bike. Combined with the smallish fairing, it offers good protection for the torso, none for the hands, and directs the slipstream coming over the windshield about at the chinbar of the rider's helmet. This is tolerable on a Sunday sport ride, but fatiguing on a long freeway ride. I fitted a Rifle brand replacement windshield 17 inches tall (the only aftermarket replacement I could find) and while this represents a marginal improvement, it is far from ideal. The factory windshield is very short, about 13 inches, and angled at what appears to be less than 45 degrees above the horizontal. The Rifle replacement is angled almost bolt upright, and still too low. The wind collapses behind and around this windshield, and hits the rider in the face and shoulders. It is marginally better than the factory windshield, in that you are being hit in the face by broken air (I believe the aerodynamic term is "burble"), rather than the almost laminar airflow off the factory windshield. Faint praise, to be sure, since at speed the rider's head is still continually buffeted by the wind. If I lay over the tank, the Rifle windshield provides excellent protection--but who wants to ride a long distance laying over the tank? What is needed is a windshield taller than the Rifle version by about 5 inches, and angled back at about 60 degrees. This would put it somewhere between the excessively upright stance of the Rifle windshield, and the very swept-back angle of the factory windshield, and hopefully it would send the slipstream over the rider's head. Certainly a competent designer, with a little practice, could produce a satisfactory touring windshield for the Thunderbolt fairing. It has been done for plenty of other motorcycles. It is no secret that Buell motorcycles have had something of a "kit bike" reputation. After all, Eric Buell originally started building them in his garage. (Bill Harley and the Davidson brothers started the same way, back in 1903.) Everyone agreed that they were a blast to ride, but niggling problems like cracks in ultra light body parts, excessive heat radiating from the engine and exhaust pipes, broken engine mounts, uncomfortable seats, saddle bag latches that didn't work, and similar problems have drawn criticism, and rightly so. The 1999 models are the first since Harley-Davidson acquired 98% of Buell American Motorcycles. Eric Buell remains in charge, and still owns 2% of the stock. Harley had previously owned half of the company, with Buell owning the other half. The changes allowed by Harley's deep pockets are apparent. Everything has been improved, including the frame, engine mounts, fuel injection, front forks, swingarm, rear monoshock, seat, handlebar controls, the S-3 fairing, the S3 saddlebags, and more. Unfortunately, work remains to be done to eliminate the small, niggling problems to which the bikes are still prone. Judging by my experience with the S3, build quality still does not appear to be as good as a Harley-Davidson. In fact, it is probably below that of an average Japanese motorcycle, not really bad, but not perfect. There is no assembly line at the Buell factory. Each motorcycle is built individually, by a small team of workers, who work only on that particular bike until it is finished. This system yields great job satisfaction, high employee morale, a lot of promise for the future, and motorcycles that are maybe a little less uniform than they might otherwise be. Before founding Buell American Motorcycles, Eric Buell worked as an engineer for Harley-Davidson. Based on what I have read about Eric Buell, the most basic ingredients of his design philosophy seem to be centralization of mass, low unsprung weight, and frame rigidity. Let's take a quick look at these concepts, because they are central to why a Buell is so much fun to ride. I am no engineer, but as a sailor I am familiar with the benefits of mass centralization. A boat designed with the weight concentrated in the center, instead of out at the ends, will respond more quickly. It will tend to ride over, rather than plow through, the waves. Two people with access to a small skiff, dinghy, or rowboat can experiment with this concept. First, have one person sit in the very bow, and the other at the stern. Note how the boat feels sluggish and responds slowly to the waves. Now move both people (the mass) to the middle of the boat. Suddenly it feels more lively, and responds faster, now that the mass is centralized. The same basic principle also holds true for motorcycles. This is why Buell concentrates the weight of the heavy components of the motorcycle, the engine/transmission, muffler, gas tank, rear monoshock, and battery near the center of the motorcycle. Everything is basically placed above or below the engine/transmission unit, the heaviest single component of the motorcycle. The result is that Buell motorcycles feel exceptionally lively, and a lively motorcycle is more fun to ride. Unsprung weight is the weight of the components not supported by the suspension, principally the wheels, tires, lower fork legs, and brakes. Lower unsprung weight allows the tires to maintain better contact with the uneven surface of the road, thus making for a safer, better controlled, and more enjoyable ride. Buell uses hollow 3-spoke alloy wheels of the lightest and most rigid type for all of their models. For the Thunderbolt, Buell uses expensive Showa inverted front forks. Inverted forks put the smaller diameter fork section on the bottom, which lowers unsprung weight. They are also extremely strong, and more rigid than conventional telescopic forks. Going further to eliminate as much unsprung weight as possible, the Thunderbolt has a single stainless steel floating front brake disc, rather than the dual discs found on almost all other specialty sport bikes. Brake discs and their associated calipers are very heavy. To ensure adequate swept area, that single disc is the largest found on any production bike, 340mm in diameter. To make it lightweight while retaining the necessary thickness in cross section, it is extremely narrow in profile, and to ensure an excess of stopping power, the Thunderbolt comes with a 6-piston front brake caliper. "Stoppies" are easy on a Buell. Other premium motorcycle manufacturers can and do take some of these same steps to lower unsprung weight, but none combine all of these strategies as Buell does. Almost everyone agrees that a rigid frame is crucial to precise handling and control. Buell selected the expensive but effective method of using chrome-moly alloy steel tubing to build a perimeter frame with triangulated sections. Buell calls it a "geodesic perimeter frame." In the best modern fashion, the engine serves as a stressed member of the frame. The result is an exceptionally light and stiff frame, which improves handling and control. A bike that handles precisely and delivers exceptional control is more fun to ride. The centralized mass, low unsprung weight , stiff frame, and premium suspension, when combined with a rather short 55 inch wheelbase and only 24.5 degrees of front-end rake, should result in a light and quick handling motorcycle, and indeed it does. You might think the same combination would also make for a twitchy feeling motorcycle, but it doesn't. I expected, and found, a fast handling bike, but what I found most surprising was the Thunderbolt's excellent static stability. Static stability means that left to its own devices, it will run straight. This is a bike that will run straight as a die with the rider's hands off the handlebar. I guess the 3.8 inches of trail has something to do with that. Whatever the reason, the bike responds quickly, handles superbly, and runs true. Of course, more than trick engineering is necessary to build a complete motorcycle. The motor is the key to performance, and all Buells use a highly modified Harley-Davidson Sportster V-twin engine. The hot-rodded 1203cc "Thunderstorm" power plant used in the Thunderbolt produces an ample 101 horsepower at the crankshaft, and a gut wrenching 90 ft. lbs. of torque. This translates to about 71-78 ft. lbs. of torque and 85-90 hp. at the rear wheel, depending on whose dyno you read. Remember that horsepower is a measurement of work performed over time, and torque is the turning force at the crankshaft (or rear wheel). This is why torque is more important in everyday riding. Torque is what is responsible for that slingshot feeling when you roll the throttle on, not to mention those "power" wheelies. The vibration produced by the compact 45 degree V-twin motor is isolated from the frame, and the rider, by Buell's proprietary "Uniplanar" mounting system. This system works. It is amazing to ride a bike, powered by what is basically a Sportster 1200 engine, that is so smooth. At idle it feels about like a Sportster, but as the RPM increases, vibration diminishes. By the time the tach has moved past 3000 RPM, vibration is almost completely absent. The Sportster, as I wrote in my article "The Harley-Davidson Sportster," is quite pleasant to ride below about 60 MPH (in 5th gear). But vibration intrudes as speeds increase, and becomes uncomfortable (to me) by about 70 MPH. But on its cousin, the Buell Thunderbolt, the faster you go the smoother it gets. At 70 MPH and above, it is uncannily smooth. It is hard to believe it is powered by a Sportster 1200 motor, let alone one producing about a third more power. It seems to me that the Thunderbolt is a pretty good sport-touring bike, by which I mean a great sport bike for Sunday rides, with its power and razor sharp handling, that still has the capability of making overnight and longer trips. It has the range, speed, smoothness, stability, comfortable seating position, and available luggage to serve as a solo touring bike, plus the benefit of a very extensive dealer network should something go wrong while on the road (a good point to consider before purchasing some exotic brand sport-touring bike). Rider protection is the primary deficiency at present, but all it needs is a properly designed touring windshield to bring it up to snuff in that area. I hope that someone, either at Buell or in the aftermarket, will eventually respond to fill this need. If you want a sporty looking motorcycle for cheap transportation, there are more economical alternatives. But if you're leaning toward a sport or sport-touring bike, and ride for the pleasure of the experience, you owe it to yourself to at least test ride a Buell Thunderbolt.

THIS MOTORCYCLE IS BEING RELISTED DUE TO A NON-PAYING BUYER. PLEASE DON'T BUY IT IF YOU CAN NOT PAY FOR IT. I'M 65 YEARS OLD WITH A BAD HEART AND THIS IS A TREMENDOUS INCONVENIENCE AND HARDSHIP TO ME. THANK YOU. You are buying a rare, traditional American chopper by Flyrite Choppers, Rouserworks and Haifley Bros. 100% Made in USA parts ( except UK Avon tires and Spanish Akront wheel ). The build goal is a classic, traditional American chopper using only the best quality American made parts, with a modern, easy to start ( electric only ), easy to maintain, powerful Buell high performance engine. Bike is long, low, light, quick and beautiful. Stance is perfect. Stripped of all non-essentials, the look is clean. Handles true and steady at speed. Sweet on high speed sweepers. Long wheelbase makes for a wide turning radius. Minimal brakes and no turn signals make this an open road bike, not a city bike or bar hopper unless a front brake is added. Fit. I'm 6'2" and ride with the handlebars turned down ( board track style ). Inches can be gained by adjusting the handlebars up parallel to tank. It's a long bike so under 5'8" may require different bars. Titled ( Arizona ) as a 2000 Buell ( not special construction ). I may change to Colorado before sale. Built in 2007 at Rouserworks, Corpus Christie, TX, using a 2000 Buell Thunderbolt 1200 cc engine, in a 2007 Flyrite Smokin Gun rigid frame ( with Serial No. and Manufacturer's Statement of Origin included in sale ). In 2013-2014 bike underwent a $6,500 frame off refurbishing at Haifley Bros., Phoenix, AZ. Bike was completely disassembled, frame powder coated, sheet metal painted, new seat, one-off handlebars and 2 into 1 exhaust, $1200 wheels and tires. Specifics follow in description and photos. ENGINE: 2000 Buell Thunderbolt 1200 cc. Electric start only. Oil cooler. Compression is strong. No mechanical issues ( sweats a little as Harley's do but no drips ).

H-D Birch White. No clear coat. Pinstripes free hand. ( decals can be added and clear coated ). BRAKES. None to front. Rear sprocket brake ( unmarked Flyrite or Exile ). A sprocket brake is close to an old drum brake - it slows the bike but will not stop fast. Use of the gearbox / downshifting is part of the stopping process. In rural Dolores, CO there is not a single traffic light and few cars. Animals and tractors are the threats. A front disc brake could and should be added for urban use.GAUGES. None. Guess a speedo wouldn't hurt ( when the officer asks " do you know how fast you were going? " You can truthfully sau "no". ) Never saw the use of a tach on a road-going H-D. I prefer the look of clean, uncluttered handlebars.FOOTPEGS. Cast brass by Backes, Iowa. You could not build this bike for the $12,500 price. This is a collectible, traditional American chopper that will not go out of style long after the ground pounders are scrapped for the next fad. Rouserworks didn't build many bikes before Rob moved to Costa Rica ( Google " Rouserworks " ). The Haifley Bros are up and coming builders who do quality work. I'll be 65 this October and the old bones don't ride much. Please study the photos. Ask as many questions as you like. Bike is sold as-is, where is ( although delivery may be possible between South-West CO and California, for a fee ). Thank you for looking.

2004 Buell Firebolt XB12R, I have a 2004 Buell Firebolt for sale, 1200 cc. It has had a rough life but has many more lives left. It has scratches on right side and frame has a scratch/dent on it. it can be seen in pictures. Light scratches on other places. It still looks pretty good and this machine of course uses a upgraded Harley sportster motor. The fuel injection and other items works fine. All suspension is race and works well. It his three digits quickly and corners sharply. Rear tire will need a change as it is near wear limits. I got this as a trade and it is not my style of bike so I don't have any intention of keeping it. The bike is not perfect and price well reflects that. I have seen much worse sell for more. The big difference is this is a 2014 with solid frame members, not tube structures. This bike sounds Harley, because it is. I have a standing offer of 2000.00 on the bike. If I get a better offer before next week I will take it. I have the cables and driver disk for the bike so that a new owner could reprogram or flash ECM parameters to the bike if so desired. You will need to down load a copy of ECMSPY. NEW AGM battery. new carbon windshield. Needs someone to finish the cleanup on the bike and get the little things repaired like the cracked chin fairing. There is no questioning that at this price it is a heck of a deal. sold as is! test rides can be had with cash in my hand and a M endorsement. You crunch it you bought it. five seven three 819 9920 text is fine $2,650.00 5738199920

The bike is powered by a 2000 1200cc Buell Lightening 95 hp motor 85.4 ft. lbs of torque a beast. New pistons, rings, heads rebuilt runs awesome tons of HP. tank is a totally redone sportster tank completed sealed with old school lead used as filler where needed. Custom made gear cover out of copper. Custom bent, inside heat coated pipes. clip on bars. Custom made leather seat with turn signals mounted on underside for that hidden non seen look. Oil tank custom made from Chevy 350 valve cover with antique Coke bottle opener which is functional. Old ford side mount brass tail light custom made plate holder.

There are tons of little one of a kind items that has everyone looking and wowing. Front end is 8 inch over 2004 sportster, along with wheels and brakes so parts are right off the shelf if ever needed. The bike runs great and is a true lane splitter very nibble and stops on a dime. Any questions e-mail me. Bike is painted to appear old, weather beaten, ridden. Metal parts were treated to give old patina look. There are subtle skull air brushing on frame. The bike is definitely a crowd gather where ever you go. The mileage will be different since it will be ridden to shows. The bike is listed locally so I reserve the right to end auction early and cancel bid if sold locally. Bike comes with front fender and additional longer rear fender both of which are patina painted as rest of bike. What so cool about owning this Bobber the more dings, scratches, and dents you put on this bike just makes it that much cooler. It is a rider that people gather around, turns heads, and one that you don't have to worry about. Rake is approx. 42 degrees, length tip of tire to tip of tire approx. 94 inches, wheel base is approx. 68 inches, approx. seating height is a badass 23 inches. 4/19/14 had the bike out today because it was such and beautiful day and to stop and get a coffee. The bike drew more people than when I had my Boss Hoss. Definitely an attraction at the coffee stop.
