1979 Harley Davidson Heritage Nostalgia Sportster XLH Nostalgic 1000CC

Needs a clutch and clutch cable. Comes with the parts to replace the clutch and cable. The cable broke and the clutch slips because the guy I bought it from used gear oil instead of wet clutch oil. The tank dash needs to be wired, here is one half of a weather proof plug wired to the tank dash, he wires coming out of the headlight shell need to be wired to the other half of the plug. I worked to achieve an antique, eathered look to the bike, know this isn't for everyone but the bodywork is really solid and all new. There is a chip on the tank just above the air cleaner, chip in the bottom of the back fender and some scratches in the front fender, ll of them not on purpose. the tank has a crackled, eathered appearance that was on purpose, he rear fender has a little too, t also has light scratches from the saddle bags. The pictures show everything. The pinstriping isa little uneven and a lot of the stripes are slightly different sizes, hey were hand painted but not perfectly, ee the pictures.Top end rebuilt last year, ew cylinders, eads and pistons, ot even broken in yet. May need new rotors and pads due tosurface rust Tank is custom, as a fat bob tank for a Dyna but I moved the mounts to fit my bike and filled the center seam because I don't like the tank bibs. The front fender is also meant for a dyna but fit on this bike because they have the same front end. I filled in the mounting bracket area for a cleaner full fender look. The back fender was actually made for a sportster but not this year. I had to cut off the tail light mounting bosses and fill thembecause they were for the stock tail light and I wanted the tombstone tail light for the vintage look. The seat is a Saddleman solo seat. The speedo bounces and I don't think the odometer works on it. It has 5 miles since the top end of the engineand the carburetor wererebuilt. I wasn't able to break it in yet because of the broken clutch cable. It needs new tires, have the back tire but the front was in good shape last year, ts all cracked now. I have the original front and back fenders, ot the tank. It runs great with a jump start, dles nice and low but not without the cables attached since the battery is dead, lan on buyinga new one. If I open the throttle a touch to bring the idle up it runs fine without the jumper cables so I know the generatorand voltage regulator aregood. It's a full custom bike but looks like it was made this way. If you are looking for that vintage, eritage or nostalgic look in a smaller framed better handling bike this is the one. It would have been easier to start with a Softail but I had already done that and liked the handling and brakingof the sportster. It has the rare S&S Cycle air cleaner not the more common S&S Super version. I took off the choke butterfly valve for better air flow. It starts fine without it and warms up quickly. I did not pull it apart and paint the frame, will leave that up to the next guy. This would make a great winter project but could also be ridden now with a weekend of work. This bike is one of a kind and I have never seen another sportster with the heritage/nostalgic look. I used to get constant questions and offers on it when I rode it but I would always say"I would never sell it." Of course now that I need to sell it I can't drive it around and accept one of the many offers because of a broken clutch cable I simply don't have the time to change.Now real life has slapped me in the face and its time to part with it. Divorce, windling finances and a complete lack of time are conspiring against me. This bike could be parted out for twice the starting bid but I want to give it a chance at a new life in it's current state. Now that it's out of winter storage and here at the house I may possibly get to the clutch, f I do the auction will be cancelled and relisted with a higher price provided there are no bids at that time.
