Records show that this fine example was imported from Iowa to the UK in the early 1990s. It has been featured in The Classic Bike Guide magazine and also Harley-Davidson – The Complete History, both of which are included in the sale. It had three-and-a-half year rebuild that followed included the fitting of two extremely rare components: a reconditioned Harley-Davidson Fairbanks-Morse magneto (as used for the XLCH) and a Paucho of America exhaust system. All moving components in the engine have been replaced, so the XLH Sportster will require careful running-in.

The motorcycle is now in good running order and in fine condition once again, in ‘Bobber’ style. A new solid state regulator unit is supplied with the machine, together with Pillion footrests and other useful spare parts. The history file contains the V5C registration certificate, a service manual, a parts catalogue, wiring diagrams, the two aforementioned publications, photographs and others. A superb opportunity to purchase one of the first ‘iron-head’ Sportsters, of which few have survived in such original condition. It comes complete with a current V5C and two files of documentation. There are no fluids in this machine as we're part of the display.
