Used 1973 Harley-davidson Other Used 1200L

Seller Description

1973 FLH w 9955 original miles in original paint stored in a dry desert warehouse under cover for almost 30 yrs! .... Pretty good for a 46 year old bike ....!! Bike was ridden little over the years and put away- sat in my friends collection for almost 30 yrs in the dry desert untouched. Its a time capsule... its a crazy fair price... dont blow it. Look at the cad plating on the spokes and hardware- no rust- and still original untampered wire harness.... etc, etc, etc.... this bike was put away running and I put some fresh gas in it and a new battery- low and behold it fired right up! I rode it down the street and back and everything works well! I would probably clean the carb as it sputtered a couple times- but the tanks are extremely clean inside- overall I was smiling ear to ear to see this girl come to life so easily after 30 yrs... a product of DRY desert storage!.

I didn't want to touch this bike and have the new owner feel like it was tampered w/ or doctored up in any way. I just washed and cleaned it. The new owner should feel like I did when I pulled the cover off to find this in light for the first time in almost 30 yrs. The only thing I did was take a microfiber cloth and wipe the bikes paint off from dust that entered over the last several decades. A little elbow grease and who knows what will happen to this gem. It is a AMF yrs bike which are becoming collectors now- especially original untouched bikes. Its a pretty nice bike w no rust and will clean up further- but it was ridden and does have flaws. The title was lost - but a Bill of Sale will be provided and a check has been run by the police in the Federal data base and there is no history of liens , thefts etc.... its a straight shot deal. The owner had over 200 bikes in his collection and is a long time friend of mine- everything he owns is incredible.
The original paint is very nice and only shows a couple small blemishes on the front nose of the fender- otherwise very very presentable- some of the tank decal stripes are lifting from time- if I kept the bike I was going to order the red white blue tank stripes which were available this yr and model as well..... would really make the bike pop!
No shipping overseas on this one unless you have someone to title it AFTER you pay. Im not providing title services for bikes under $40k anymore.
