This is running, ridingmotorcycle. Bike has been well maintained and carries with it the perfectamount of patina (in my personal opinion). Probably the easiest startingIronhead I’ve ever encountered. Almost always starts on the first kick (usuallywithout being choked), runs flawlessly, all lights function properly (runninglight, brake light, hi/lo headlight)... it starts, stops, and goes. Compiledbelow is list of everything that has recently been done to the bike.

A few things worth mentioning:
•Third gear tends have “slip” (so to say)under heavy acceleration. Minor issue that never bothered me enough to removethe transmission and diagnose. Bike stays in gear and does not pop out,however, under heavy acceleration it can be little finicky.
•Small chip in paint at front of fuel tank nearhandlebars (see photos).
•Bike currently does not have kill switchwired up. Engine must be shut off using the key.
•Drips couple drops of oil here and there.Nothing major. It’s Harley. (Can provide photo if requested.)
