Description
1980 Harley-Davidson 998cc XL Sportster Registration no. OPP 613V Frame no. 3A-27041-JO Engine no. *3A10028H9* (see text) Although retaining all the traditional characteristics that made them unique, the Harley-Davidsons of the 1970s began to incorporate some of the technological developments that had become the accepted norm on European and Japanese machines. Disc brakes and electronic ignition were commonplace on Harleys by the decade's end, by which time the convenience of electric starting had been extended to the Sportster model. The latter benefited from a capacity increase (to 998cc) for 1972, and in 1978 gained the superior twin-down-tube cradle frame of the short-lived XLCR Café Racer. Part of a recent barn-find discovery, this XL Sportster was acquired by the private vendor in March 1999 and currently displays a total of 23,493 miles on the odometer. The machine is fitted with chopper-style 'ape-hanger' handlebars and a 'King & Queen' seat, and it should be noted that it has a replacement XL engine dating from 1979. The owner has recently had the engine running with the assistance of a slave battery (video available); however, the machine's wider mechanical condition is not known and thus it is sold strictly as viewed. Offered for sympathetic recommissioning and/or restoration, it comes with a V5C Registration Certificate (still listing the old/previous engine number). Footnotes: All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.
