Sportster bob job for sale!


After years of fine tuning and perfecting it is now the best it can be and time to move it on for you to enjoy!
It's a 1975 XLH Sportster, 1000cc right side shift, matching numbers. Loaded with special goodies and cool vintage parts, original K model gas tank, tail light and headlight shroud. Amber colored Bates headlight and amber spotlights. 18 nch rear wheel, 19 front, with new Shinko whitewall tires, Flanders dogbones, chrome 1 piece handlebar clamp, white rubber pieces everywhere: steps grips etc. 1960s cable wrap.
Bike runs and rides great. Very smooth shifting and no oil leaks. This bike needs nothing, jump on and enjoy. (If you can live without blinkers / speedo / mufflers!) It is pretty loud, but a nice kind of loud! nice deep rumble
Bike is located in the Netherlands Europe and can be shipped worldwide. Please ask for a quote.
Asking 7200 euro (8000USD / 6400GBP) contact me here

Finally!

almost a year later, it is finally driveable!
Slapped on a bunch of K model parts like the tank, headlight shroud and taillight and kept the whole bike nice and chubby.




Also added some old style tires by Shinko which recently have a 19 x 4.00 in their program. It's a tight squeeze!
The cool thing is that I could re-use a lot of stuff that was already on the bike like the crash bars, spotlight bar, seat and tank logo's to name a few. Which all give it a nice dressed 1950's style looks if you ask me!

big thanks to Erwin who tipped me on the bike in the first place,
mr Magic, Daan, Rudi, next beers are on me!

remember how it first looked!?

Sportsters are fun!

Got a new project in the form of a dressed up 1975 Sportster,
after getting rid of the ugly (well most of it, forks will need to change as well)
The winter is coming, so this time it will keep a more snug low look with big tires
So for shits and giggles been messing with some other options!

How can people do this to a Sportster!?? Luckily it doesn't have forward controls, those are always a pain to fix back to stock








so, what's your choice!?
I've got my mind made up already, so stay tuned for how it's going to turn out!
