builder's bike brings the most money at auction...and will air in
an upcoming season finale episode of Fast N Loud. The�Sportster�is
a line of motorcycles produced continuously since 1957 by the
Harley-Davidson Motor Company. Our Sportster was in need of some
transmission and carburetor work that was made apparent by Jeremy
of Gas Monkey Garage when the episode aired. It was pretty clear he
was in over his head, so they sold the bike with some needs. Our
(20 year veteran) technician pulled the clutch basket and clutch
pack and replaced the neutral locking pin. For good measure, he
rebuilt the carburetor, adjusted the clutch and the throttle cable.
This Harley is now running and shifting the way was it meant to
from day one!...We don't monkey around! Finished in a dramatic deep
red the custom molded gas tank shows extremely well with only minor
imperfections visible upon close inspection. Both the front and
rear fenders have been removed to help execute the flat track look.
All the frame pieces have nicely integrated contrasting black
finish and fit nicely and compliment the red custom molded tank.
Chrome pieces show extremely well for a sixty era bike. The black
seat is custom and molded to work in harmony with the fuel tank.
