Used HARLEY DAVIDSON FXSB 1985 4 SPEED KICKER RARE BIKE EXC COND

Seller Description

THIS IS A RARE BIKE BUILT FOR ONE YEAR 1985 AS A TRANSITIONAL BIKE WHEN HARLEY WERE INTRODUCING NEW ENGINES AND FRAMES . SO WE HAVE THE LAST OF THE SHOVEL FRAMES WITH THE 4 SPEED BOX AND A KICKER , YES IT HAS ELECTRIC START , BUT THE FIRST YEAR FOR THE 1340 EVO ENGINE AND BELT DRIVE .

IT IS A FXS SOLID MOUNTED ENGINE , THE NEXT YEAR SAW THE FXR INTRODUCED WITH RUBBER ENGINE MOUNTS AND A DIFFERENT FRAME I RECKON SHOVELS RIDE LIKE OVERGROWN SPORTIES !!!. I BOUGHT THIS BIKE OF A REALLY NICE BLOKE IN North Carolina FROM EBAY ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO , HE BOUGHT IT OF THE SON OF THE ORIGINAL OWNER . THIS IS A VERY ORIGINAL BIKE THAT HAS UNDERGONE A SYMPATHETIC RESTORATION , I DIDN'T WANT A BRAND NEW LOOKING 35 YEAR OLD BIKE , THE PAINT ON THE TANK IS ORIGINAL , IT STILL RUNS THE ORIGINAL FACTORY CARBY THAT WORKS FINE . SO WE WENT THROUGH EVERYTHING EXCEPT FOR THE MOTOR AND BOX , MY HARLEY EXPERT THINKS THE MOTOR HAS NEVER BEEN APART AND IT SOUNDS AND RUNS REALLY WELL . BOX IS GOOD . POSITIVE SHIFT . SO WE REBUILT THE SUSPENSION FRONT AND REAR , THE CARBY , 80% OF THE ELECTRICS , BRAIDED BRAKE LINES , NEW AVON TYRES , NEW BELT , NEW REAR SPROCKET, DID THE OUTPUT SEALS ON THE BOX AND PRIMARY SEALS , DOES NOT LEAK OIL , CURRENTLY PARKED IN MY LOUNGE ROOM !!! BOTH BRAKES WERE DONE ,RE-CHROMED EVERYTHING THAT NEEDED IT , DID A LOT OF BUFFING AND POLISHING . THERE IS A LOT MORE I COULD ITEMISE AND I HAVE ITEMISED REPAIR INVOICES THAT EXPLAINS ALL WE HAVE DONE I HAVE RECEIPTS FOR ABOUT $10,000 . THE ONLY NON ORIGINAL THINGS ON THIS BIKE ARE THE EXHAUST WHICH IS GENUINE Harley Davidson, THE INDICATORS AND I HAVE THE ORIGINALS , AIR CLEANER WHICH I THINK I HAVE LOCATED AND THE HAND GRIPS . THIS IS A HIGHLY COLLECTABLE HARLEY IN VERY CLOSE TO ORIGINAL CONDITION THAT STILL RIDES BEAUTIFULLY ,HARLEY BUILT SOME OF THEIR BEST BIKES IN THE 80"S THEY HAD A LOT TO PROVE AND IT WAS THE DECADE FOR ALL THE INNOVATIONS THAT HAVE CARRIED THROUGH TO NOW , I WOULD LOOK AT A TRADE , THANKS BOB
