We have taken this rare beastie in. It’s an automatic as well. Everything is original, needs some TLC. Owes me £10,000, if we had time to do it I would retail it for £30,000. 80,000 miles registered 1977.
Pm me if interested!

Do it!!! Don’t hesitate!! You will NOT lose any money on a springer trust meWhat can I say that won’t get me banned
I have never really been into HD but a pal of mine just passed away and I am thinking of buying his Springer off his family. Absolutely beautiful bike. No idea what it’s like to ride but the pose value is priceless.
Do you know which model and what year it is??

2009 I think. More than that I don’t know. Very very few miles. Was once in a collectors collection in NI but sold through A HD dealer in Glasgow. I went up with him to collect it about 9 months ago.

Yea I've been hearing the weather over the whole of Europe is a bit hit & miss at the minute, might leave it for a couple more weeks or so and see if it all settles down, it's been lovely here in Ireland for weeks lol ☘☘

Sounds like it could be a crossbones mainly black all over!
If it’s a chrome show it’s defintely earlier, they did a no frills springer 05/06 and a more chrome one around 01/02. Now if it’s really a chrome show with tassels and acres of chrome it will be a pre 01 evolution engine springer. Would love to see a pic of it! Either way if you can buy it, buy it
any questions on the HD front fire away

To be honest she's more into the bikes than me I keep mine mainly to keep her company if she wants me to come along on a spin with her

They didn’t make a white springer in either of those years, the last white springer was 2001

OK. Will research some more. I can’t ask the family just a yet as they are still in mourning. He was a great biking friend. Died in Manila where he had a house. Just 69 yrs. Real bike nut. It’s probably the only HD ( sorry as you are a fan) that I have ever thought I might like to own.They didn’t make a white springer in either of those years, the last white springer was 2001

He’d fall off his perch.Sorry you lost a friend
Would your friend give you a wry smile from up there if he saw you on it
But I hope he would appreciate the nod in his direction.

Ah yes the panhead 48-66 I prefer the look of the knucklehead 36-48.I do like the old 40&50s Panheads, would definitely get one of them if I decided to go back into old bikes, also like the Indians from that era
You need to look for a 65 Electraglide! The one and only year they did them with the panhead, after that it was the shovelhead 66-84.
The Indians at the time were better than the Harley’s, whereas hd only allocated a percentage of bikes to the military WLA 45 Indian went all in and that sent them under around 53, but a 53 indian chief is a thing of beauty
I was offered a beautiful 42 WLA 45 in excellent working order back in 2003 but I didn’t have the 5k to buy it
If I ever got another HD it would be a springer and I would take it to the grave
