Harley-Davidson Sportster description

This Harley Davidson Sportster is very fast and runs excellent.  It has a Barnett racing clutch, brand new primary chain, and a brand new shifting lever.  Transmission has been shimmed and gone through.  The motor itself has 24,139 actual miles.  Recently, I have been drag racing this bike in 300' dirt drags.  Consequently, I have a brand new Maxxis knobby dirt bike tire on the back and a brand new 19" knobby on the front.  I have the street tires and will include them with the bike. 

Some of the features are:
RAM air to a Bendix carb
New front forks (extended 4" from stock forks) with chrome springs
New chrome exhaust with megaphones
19 tooth front sprocket which gears it down from the original 23 tooth sprocket - I have both sprockets and will include the 23 tooth with the bike
O ring roller chain
Awesome paint job - House of Kolors cobalt blue candy over black with sea blue flake - turns chameleon colors in the sun
Speedometer and Tachometer are original - Speedometer goes to 150 mph and the tach has no red line.  I have never seen this on a Harley before, and the motor will turn 8000 rpm
Also not typical on a Harley, this bike has a power band - - when under full acceleration, the bike comes up to about 4000 rpm and snaps to 8000 rpm
Currently, when raced in 300' dirt drags, first gear is about 150 ft, powershift second, and hang on for the other 150 ft because you're going 75 mph

I purchased the bike from a friend, and I don't know the history prior to that.  But it is in excellent condition!!!!  I'm sure you will love it as much as I have.

I will deliver the bike if you live within 100 miles of Grand Haven, MI.  Otherwise, shipping/transportation are the buyer's responsibility.  Payment - - I will accept official bank check or cash upon pick-up.

If you have any questions, please call Cliff at (616)842-4026.  Thanks!

Harley-Davidson Adds Twin Cam 96 and 103 Engines to Factory Remanufacturing Program

Tue, 17 Jan 2012

Harley-Davidson has added the Twin Cam 96, Twin Cam 103 and 2003-2006 CVO Twin Cam 103 engines to its engine remanufacturing program. The program, which previously accepted 1984 and newer Evolution 1340, Twin Cam 88, Twin Cam 88B and Twin Cam 95 powerplants, takes used engines, rebuilds and repaints them. Customers can take their existing Harley-Davidson motorcycle to a dealer which will remove the engine and send it back to the factory.

Laguna Seca Added to 2014 AMA Superbike Schedule

Thu, 13 Mar 2014

AMA Superbike will be racing at Laguna Seca this year after all, with AMA Pro Racing announced the addition of the Monterey, Calif., circuit to its 2014 schedule, joining the World Superbike Championship on July 11-13. Laguna Seca was not included in AMA Pro Racing’s calendar, but its addition now increases the number of rounds in the series to six. That’s still down from the nine rounds held in 2013, but the absence of Laguna Seca and its famed Corkscrew would have been an especially tough loss.

Donation of Photos and Memorabilia to Harley-Davidson Museum Reveal Glimpse of Early Days at Harley

Thu, 22 Mar 2012

Harley-Davidson Museum today posted on its Facebook page a selection of photos it received as part of collection of images and memorabilia donated by a former Harley employee. According to the Facebook post former H-D employee Bob Jameson donated “ two scrapbooks, numerous photographs, news clippings and other company related materials” for the museum’s collection. Jameson, following in his father’s footsteps, worked for The Motor Company, and in 1960 helped develop a motorcycle suited for use in the Vietnam war.
