Harley-Davidson Sportster description
Thanks for clicking. Up for auction
is a very nice 1986 Harley XLH883 Sportster Evolution- ready to ride. This bike
was stored inside on blocks for the last 9 years and I purchased it as a
retirement �stay busy’ project. The bike is in great condition- both
mechanically and cosmetically, 19,XXX miles, completely stock except for foot
pegs and saddle bags. The bike has been gone through by a local Harley shop and
given a clean bill of health- and some compliments. The bike starts, runs and
shifts, tracks, corners and handles exceptionally well, the clutch is tight and
responsive and the tires are in mid-life or better. There are no signs this
bike was ever laid down. Recent work includes the following:
Tank flushed and cleaned 3X
Carbs cleaned and rejetted
by local Harley shop
Front and rear masters and
calipers rebuilt
Fork seals replaced
New primary and shifter
gaskets and seals
New plugs
New battery
OEM seat- stored since new
in �86
New speedometer cable and
axle gear
New air and oil filter
New fluids
Key electrical
connections/breakers cleaned/replaced
And other maintenance tweaks
The tank (stock with logo),
a few places on the frame and the oil tank had a couple minor scratches which
were touched up with OEM Harley paint. You’ve got to get close to even notice
them. The chrome is in very good condition with very, very little rust. Electronics, charging system, headlight and
indicator lights are in great condition. The turn signals with stand-offs and
wiring will be included but they are not mounted.
Needs: The rear wheel spokes
could use some additional polish. The 2 primary cover access caps are scratched
and could use replacement. If I were to keep the bike I’d polish the primary
and chain covers and the heads, install the turn signals and do a little more
touch-up on the frame.
I’ve driven the bike for
about 300 miles around town and on the highways since getting it back from the
carb rejetting and have been impressed how this 27 year-old bike feels and
drives. I’ve got to throw in that at stop lights I’ve gotten a few endearing
�thumbs-ups’ from fellow Harley drivers. Being a stock classic, it does get looks.
Clear
I will add additional photos in the coming days.
I reserve the right to cancel this listing at any time as this bike has been listed locally.
No low-ball offers, please. I know what the value of this bike is based on the condition, being an unaltered stock bike, KBB and NADA and recommendations from local Harley dealers.

What am I gonna do with a gun rack?
Wed, 27 Jul 2011Living in Shoreditch I come across a unique variety of motorcycles on the road; from XS650s, to classic Lambrettas and one completely brown jelly-mould CBR600. My favourite of the regular bikes I see is this Harley-Davidson badged Armstrong MT500. In my head I like to think that the owner operates as an urban vigilante, realistically whoever rides this ex-Army bike is probably an artist and instead of a weapon in the gun holder it's probably art equipment.
