Custom Harley Davidson 1982-FLH

[FSG]

Although I have my eye on a pre ADR (1972) Shovel, what do you think of this FLH on Oz eBay ?

[76shuvlinoff]

It shows a lot of work and a lot of money invested and I don't know about prices on that side of the world but $17,900 is a lot of money for it  IMHO.

Whheeee dogies, that's a purty motorcycle!
With the exchange rate it's at $12.7k US. Not too outrageous if it runs like it looks.
Wouldn't be that clean for long if I owned it.

     FSG,
    I think that it's fairly cool but there are some things that really turn me off. I'll start with the inflated price. The rear fender "bra" don't do it either. Lots of attention to detail so why do the rear directional wires hang out there? The rear brake line looks kinda fubbish where it  crosses over the rear axle nut and wraps around the back of the caliper. Picky, picky. Woulda been nice to mention what all went into the engine rebuild. This is not a restoration it's a customization.
    Seventy-two is a real cool year with the front disc brake and rear drum. If you can buy one of them right... That's my two beans. Bill

That sure is a good looking bike. I too thought the turn sigs looked a bit chinky. If it's worth it to you, go for it.

It does look nice. A bit much for my taste but I am a less is more type of guy. If I had $12k to spend and money was not an object I would buy it(actually if I had 12 k to spend freely on a bike I would look for an old knuckle or early pan to go through) But since I am a blue-collar-working-stiff-married-with-kids- and love to ride old shovels, I search to find a shovel for $5k, do all but the motorwork myself and have a simple but cool looking sled like I am workin' on now in my "molested shovel" post. I will end up having about $6k +/-. Therefore I establish a relationship with her and I have an affair everytime I go out to the garage. My $.02 worth.

What do I think about it... ?

First things first, like the others mentioned, the price. It's way too much for that bike, as it is for most Shovelhead's.
Second, assuming the price is ok with me the buyer, I look to see what I can live with, and what I can't.
So the first thing to go are those exhaust pipes. They are BFU. Next is that red chain. Wow.
Then the red wheels and the gangster white walls. Not cool.
At that point I could ride the rest of the year before personalizing the entire scooter.

All in all, it's a nice ride but customized to someone else's taste.

That's my .02

How about some info on the 72

  Must have a crazy exchange rate over there or a real shrtage of bikes...Find one in Canada and I'll help arrange shipping,  my company has stuff goin to OZ every now and then...I could get you a new bike for that..or sell you one of mine.

[verson22]

[Superheat9]

Its one sweet looking ride but I will stay with my 82FLTC. You can't beat the five speed gear box.
