Recently featured on Silodrome.com - Top 5 Vintage motorcycles on eBay!

This is an absolutely gorgeous custom 1976 Harley Davidson built by Gasbox in Ohio - they are known for building high end show quality bikes. This bike has actually done the East Coast Show Circuit and did wonderfully before becoming a weekend rider. It's an electric start bike with amazing detail work - at this price, ou definitely can't build a HD Sportster like this!!

The only thing left of the rusted pile of 1976 XL parts is the engine and rear drum.The GasBoxused the original neck section of the frame and made a completely custom rear section. The gas tank is a narrowed 2004 Triumph America tank from a salvage yard. The oil tank was fabricated from sheets of steel. It was fitted with a filler cap from a vintage British cycle. The fender is a GasBox original with custom struts. The handlebars were fabricated to accent the reproduction H-D VL springer. The 19” front wheel is laced to a vintage BSA drum which has been customized to fit into the springer application. The rear wheel is 18” and laced to a standard XL drum. The brake has been modified to the location of the shifter which has been switched to the left side by using a later case half. The entire engine has been rebuilt and is running 9:1 compression pistons with PB+ cams. The engine breathes through a 2 into 1 custom exhaust that utilizes a stock AMF muffler. The headlight is standard H-D and the tail light is a Grimes model B off of a classic Cesna airplane.
