Up for sale is a very rare 1976 Harley Davidson Sporster 1000XLH Bicentennial Edition with 11665 Original Miles. The motor has not been rebuilt, as it hasn't even been properly broken in yet. It starts right up and runs great, sounds great, just like a Harley should. The seat that is on it is from the same era, but I'm not sure if it's original. I have seen it on a few of these Bicentennial Edition bikes, but have also seen another seat that more resembles other stock Sportster seats from that era. So it may not be original, but it is period appropriate. It also has highway pegs that seem period appropriate installed but I doubt those are stock either. I'm pretty sure it does have the stock grips on it, though the right side throttle grip is cracking and will need to be repaired or replaced (most likely). It has a trident top sissy bar that I know is from that era as well, but also unsure if that is stock...I think probably not. Tank Paint is original factory black metallic flake rough with flaking paint and some rust, though the decals have been sun faded and especially the eagle looks rough. Fenders are pretty decent, oil tank paint is good but a small dent you can't really see that could easily be fixed, in fact I might do that. 80% of the chrome is in excellent shape, but there are a few parts with a bit of rust. Very little pitting in the chrome. Tires are dry rotted but hold air. Brakes work good. Engine runs great! Transmission pulls and shifts great! Headlight and switches work, kill switch and start switch all work correctly. Missing Mirrors, missing turn signals. Tach and Spedo fogged, but I'll fix that before it sells. New battery, new oil, new filter, new ignition switch and keys, new transmission oil, new front master cylinder rebuild kit installed. **The Pics in this listing were taken before I changed the oil and battery and installed the new ignition switch and a few other things. Tomorrow I will take some new pics in the sunlight after I get her cleaned up a little better. I will add the video of it running and riding at that time.** Original exhaust, original paint, original wheels, original caliper and drum, original matching number on frame and motor which match the title. I believe it has the original chain still installed on it honestly. I just now removed the dipstick from the oil tank top so that I could use the easy to find drop in type oil filter canister instead of the vintage style. It still had the old school canister oil filter on it that the dipstick goes through. I still have the dipstick if it's important to the buyer. Original S&S Carburetor, though I think the breather cover may be a newer one and I only say this because it looks brand new, and even though the chrome is in really good shape on the bike, this part is like new looking. I have a clear KY title in my name and ready to be notarized for sale to you. No taxes owed on it, no leins, no issues whatsoever with the title. The title also of course matches the VIN stamped into the frame and the motor, and of course notes that it is in fact a Bicentennial Edition 1976 Harley Sportster. I have listed this bike for sale, though I am considering a cosmetic restoration on it to raise its value. I would however just assume sell it to someone who would enjoy performing the restoration themselves and whom might put a little more time and effort into the details of this Collectible Classic Bike. It is the coolest bike I have ever owned, but it's really not my style, I'm an 80's kid, and I love vintage 80's bikes. I wasn't even alive when this thing was made and I'm sure there's someone out there who would love this thing way more than I ever could. I am the third owner. The original owner owned it until a few years ago (though it had been in storage for about 10 years) until his death at which time it was left in his will to his daughter, from whom I purchased the bike. She never rode it, and I've only ridden it down the street and back a few times for testing purposes. The title verifies the mileage on the bike which matches the odometer, and has no brands of any kind. So the person who buys this bike is getting a true original that needs nothing to ride, but with a very little bit of cosmetic work could have a very valuable classic on their hands for a very reasonable price. I will be adding video of the bike running and riding tomorrow, as well as adding some new pictures to the description area to help you make your decision. Make me a reasonable offer, and it's yours! Pick up in Nicholasville, KY...though I will deliver for a fee within a reasonable distance with a paid in full deposit via paypal.
