I have decided it is time to let my beautifully restored Harley Davidson EL go. It was a 3+ year restoration project and was finished approx. 2-1/2 years ago. I have ridden it on occasion since. This bike runs perfect.
The bike was not judged, but would be considered period modified because of the handlebar set up and the paint choice. I am sure it would score in the high 90+. I will attempt to list as much info as I can, you can message me with any questions you may have and I will be happy to answer. I am a 30+ year member of the AMCA.
The speedometer stopped working at the mileage shown, I have replaced the broken inner speedometer cable. The motorcycle has approx. 750 total miles since it's restoration.
