Seller Description
For sale is a 1980 Harley Davidson Ironhead project. Genuine barn find from a genuine barn. Can’t be many of them left now Now before you all get as excited as a fat guy looking at an invite to free “All You Can Eat buffet”, it’s a project. You can’t ride it home unless you live local and have a strong person to push you.As the folks at the front of the class are paying attention they will see that the metamorphosis from good steel to iron oxide has been taking place for quite some time. (For the folks at the back of the class, that means its going rusty). Only a covering but don’t worry though it’s just like your partners facial make up and easily removed revealing the beauty underneath . Wire wool, elbow grease and time away from your partner in the shed will sort it.A small word of warning though. Just because you were a clever bugger with the birthday present Meccano set as a kid does not mean you will be able to complete this project in a couple of hours. It will require slightly more competence than that.The barrels will need made bigger to suit the new high compression pistons and rings. No, you can’t do this at home with a Black and Decker drill and a flap wheel. They will require the attention of someone with a degree level of a professional engineer. There is a new set of valves, valve guides and springs for each cylinder head.
This should help with the Suck, Squeeze, bang, blow part of the running process.There is also a con rod and bearing kit to enable the rebuild of the crank shaft. I would advise that this is forwarded on to someone who has the knowledge and equipment to carry out the process. No you cant do it at home in a vice with a big wooden handled metal headed precision percussion instrument!!!She was born in the good old US of A in 1980 and made the journey to the UK sometime in 1988 according to her certificate of residence for living in the UK (V5). Shock horror, an Ironhead Sportster with a UK V5!!!! This will make her an Historic vehicle once she is returned to her former glory. Engine numbers and frame numbers are the same.
There are a good few new parts for the motor including the following
New pistons and ringsNew con rod kit and pinNew valves, springs and guides. New crank bearings.Complete gasket set
The only parts I can see that are missing are the front mudguard and the drive chain.
I’m not interested in breaking it for spares at the moment.
I’m a sucker for offers and deals!!!Small print.I have absolutely no interest in your comments about price.. Folks with nothing else better to do than comment on ads they have no interest in purchasing in my opinion need to seek help from a professional of medical persuasion or stay the F**" away from my ads. If you know your American iron you will know that this is a cheap Sportster. Possibly the cheapest UK registered Sportster on the market!!!I can arrange UK delivery on the purchasers money either by courier or by pallet.
I do have some more images that can be sent. I do not have a video of her running and neither do I have any service history etc.
In answer to the "What's the reserve?" question, the reserve is the lowest I will accept for the old girl.
If you submit an offer and it is declined it will be because you are chancing your arm that I dont know the value !!! You are wrong :-)
On 02-Apr-21 at 20:54:54 BST, seller added the following information:Eyup folks. Just thought I'd let you know that the reserve is almost met. I think 3 bids will see it passed and on sale.Thanks for bidding
