Harley XLCR Cafe Racer

Bought this to make another Cafe Racer out of. I only ride Cafe Baggers, ue to a broken back (yeah, rom riding a Cafe Racer!)This bike will take more time and money than I have to give to it. There is lots of rust, nd how many "little things" are missing,I couldn't tell you. So understand in advance you are getting FULL DISCLOSURE. I have not tried to turn over the motor, s ithas no kick starter. You could add that, long with keeping the original electric start, ith an aftermarket side cover, esignedto allow this. I have NO IDEA of the condition of the motor/transmission, r anything else.
The bike was Harley's answer to the Cafe Racer craze that most people didn't adopt, ut dreamed that they could do. I stillam racing after 45 years of it! We have a "5-Day Road Race" every year. Gone over the Sierras aboard my '02 XL Cafe Bagger.Camping inthe snow. And I don't even consider myself "Hard Core". Bikes are meant to be ridden, nd rode hard. I haven'tgotten around tothis one, o off it goes.
This is certainly a PROJECT. It is very much a "Niche Market" motorcycle. Not many people know what this is. They onlymade a few of them, nd only for 1977-1978. It is basically an Iron Head Sportster with clipon-type bars and rearsets. Theyare just not far back enough for me. I need to lay down. My normal pegs are about 6 to 8 inches aft of the Passenger Pegson my other Harley. And that's with the Drag Bars 4 to 6 inches Forward of their normal location. Clip-ons wouldn't work onthe XL, ue to that necessity.
This bike is REGISTERED TO ME, o you will have to TAKE OWNERSHIP by showing me your Drivers License sothat I can transfer it through the DMV. I will no longer be responsible for parking tickets for this vehicle.
I live in Santa Barbara, alifornia, nd I prefer that you come to pick it up. If youpay in advance, could drive it in thebackof my pickup to you, r on my trailer (if I still have it) for $1 a mile (don't forget, have to come back). NOARGUMENTSABOUT THAT! (If you can't afford adollar a mile, ust come get it yourself). That would mean the Los Angelesarea wouldcost you $100 to $140. You would,also have to BE HOME for me to drop it off, r I would turn around andyou would stillpay for the trip. Gas prices in Shallowfornia are obscene, nd my truck is no Princess in the mileage department.
It seems that many of you really want to ship this motorcycle. I have access to a commercial business address, hat ison flat ground (my house is on a hill, nd it would be difficult to pick it up here). The commercial address would cost youless to ship from. If you absolutely MUST have it shipped, our shipper would have to come and take posession of the bike.I will NOT crate it for you. I will just be there for the trucker to take it and put it on the truck. I am losing too much moneyon this deal to dance.
It seems that my original price (that I paid for it) was too high. I have adjusted this price down $1000. The BIN price is now$3500. See if that resonates a little better with you. I'm fair, nd it's time to sell this project off.
The bike is fairly priced, ut you can ship me a slightly lesser offer. Just don't expect a reply to low-balling. I will not takenonsense from anyone. I am seriously tired of the gamers and the scammers.I don't have the time to answer all of thegoofygames people are fond of playing. So if you don't get a reply to your silly-assed low-ball scam, now that I don't want to dealwith you as a result of your attitude and conduct. Please just showsome class and leaveyour games at home.
