1973 HARLEY-DAVIDSON ELECTRA- GLIDE FLH I am proud to offer my amazing 1973 HARLEY-DAVIDSON ELECTRA-GLIDE FLH to you for sale . It is an all numbers matching, 9835 original mile example that has to be seen to appreciate . My Father and Mother (SYL & MILDRED ) purchased the bike @ Harley-Davidson of Las Vegas on April 28, 1973. My Mother was fanatic about keeping every single douument & item that came with the bike when purchased new, and Mom kept meticulous records . I went with my Mother to pick up the bike at the dealership when it arrived. It had 3.2 miles on the odometer. I was 18 yrs. old when I road it home. My Father cherished his new Harley-Davidson Electra-Glide and only road it once or twice a month. Dad would only ride it when I could ride by his side . Finally in 1983, Dad gave me his prized Harley. The bike had 2100 miles on the odometer. I had several motorcycles at the time so I only road it on special occasions. The bike has been garaged its entire life, has never fallen over or been damaged in any way, and as of November 2016 it has only 9835 original miles on the odometer . All of the paint is 100% original no touch up whatsoever! There is only one scratch on the right side of the gas tank, and a couple of minor scatches & rubs on the fairing, etc., as can be expected with an original motorcycle that is nearly 44 years old. These are things that could have easily been touched up but I was adament to keep this classic bike just as original as humanly possible. Overall condition is absolutely amazing and as original as they come, period! The black paint w/silver strobe stripe is such a classic paint scheme and has been my favorite factory paint design. In October 2014, I decided to go through the bike from front to back, cleaning things up and making sure that all mechanical functions were 100%. This extensive job included: complete flushing of the system (engine,oil tank & transmission), replaced oil lines, OEM clamps, new oil presure sending unit, new bushings for handlebars, rebuilt master cyclinders, rebuilt brake calipers, new brake lines, new brake pads, new front fork tubes and seals, new clutch cable, new choke cable, new petcock and fuel line, rebuilt original carb, new battery, new starter relay. The motor and transmission remained in the frame and were never taken apart or disassembled at all. After completing the extensive cleaning and maintenance job, the bike was filled with w/Revtech 25w-60 oil and turned over but not started. No fuel has been put in bike since. The new owner can take delivery like it is or we can put fuel in it and have it in perfect running order. New OEM style tires were mounted on the bike, but the original tires (which are in exceptional condition for their age) will of course go to to the new owner. Other original dealer- installed accessories included are: handlebar mounted radio/speaker box, AMF alarm (new in box), & passenger seat for luggage rack. This beautiful 1973 HARLEY-DAVIDSON
