looking for old sportsters

[dr evo1]

im looking for old sportys-- 1952-1956 Ks 1957 XL or 1958-1969 XLH or XLCH

don't care if it is all there, runs or not. the frame must be stock the cases must have matching numbers with title. also looking for parts for these bikes.

im looking to restore the old sportys and they are harder and harder to find. most of them have been chopperized . I'm not looking for bikes that have been restored.  I have a lot of shovel and evo parts to trade also. I have a 165 hummer tank and fenders and tube type forks. fenders have a few dings but no rust.   please let me know if you or you know someone that has any of this stuff not looking to pay retail. thanks.

I think it may be helpful if you posted your location...The US is a fairly large neighborhood!

I agree,


lets see now.
you want vintage sporties, original frames and cases, titled,
for little money.

if I found a set of cases with bad numbers they wouldn't do me any good to restore a bike with them. if they were clean and matching numbers it might be possible to trace down the title. thanks

if you read my post. I do want stock frames, cases that haven't  had numbers screwed up. I can do title search. and old parts. I don't plan on finding cherry old XLs cheep I said I didn't want any that had been restored and pay retail. there are plenty of old oem parts out there. just looking for a little help.

Best of luck.  If you find one its going to be pricy. I also want a magneto bike but can't afford one atm.

..it's strange as motorcycles  became modernized and became so reliable that anyone can own and ride without even a monkey wrench. Now they are devalued due to economy, and the production numbers. Seems like the older motorcycles have so much class and take us back when life was simple, we didn't have to be computer gurus to tune them up  and a "map" was a large paper that illustrated the roads and highways.

I have 3 sportster mags and one custom joe hunt  for pan or shovel.

Excellent comment. I mostly buy and rebuild the old Sportster because I enjoy it, it would be nice to get some semblance of profit out of work and materials invested.
