Description
This stunning tax free. matching numbers Harley-Davidson FLH 1200 Electra Glide (Shovelhead) was imported into UK in 1989 and used until 1993. The previous owner then started full restoration at a very relaxed paced - which eventually took 20 years. The work carried out includes overhauling the engine top end and rebuilding the gearbox and wheels. New parts fitted include the piston rings. valve guides. clutch. clutch cover. carburettor. air cleaner and chrome cover. oil lines. H-T leads. exhausts. wheel rims. spokes. tyres. indicators. rear light. chain. chain guard. seat. foot boards. luggage rack and various chromed 'dress up' accessories. At this time the bike was repainted in 1970s purple with a subtle gold flake in the lacquer.
I bought the bike in 2012 and used it during the summer then over the winter stripped the paintwork from the bike and had her painted in a vintage Harley Green and at the same time (and at considerable expense) replaced the seat with an original Harley pogo seat post and spring. seat bracket and new brown leather seat and under seat toolbox giving it the full 50's Harley evocation.
The bike rides like a dream and sounds like a Harley should. it always draws a crowd when parked up and 'blows' them away when started!
This Shovelhead Electra-Glide is currently taxed. MoT'd to June 2016 (but happy to add a full year) and comes with Swansea V5C registration document.
