1971 Harley Davidson FX Super Glide (Tampa, TX)

1971 Harley Davidson FX Super Glide

The color is called sparkling burgundy. The bikes history being an original Super Glide is very interesting with Harley Davidson and Willie G. as you most likely already know. It has forward controls for my long legs. I have the original parts to change back if so desired. I also have the air breather that goes with it. It still has original speedometer. The bike has 30 100 miles as stated in ad. Basically the bike has everything it came with when purchased in 1971. The VIN tag states it was made in Dec of 1970. The only thing I have modified is internal in the engine. I did go from 74 to 80 cubic inches with a mild Crane cam. That was over 3 000 miles ago. And it runs very well and has a little more kick. One more thing it is an original kick start only and that is the way I kept it. The tank was repainted. The boat tail is original paint and emblems. Never been laid down or any major body damage. What you normally will see is the Sparkling America (White). They made 4700 of these original FX Super Glides (Night Trains). Also in this series they made sparkling blue green black and burgundy. I have all documentation and all original parts to bring it back to authentic. To include documentation of work that has been done by an old school certified H-D Shovelhead mechanic. (His name is available upon request) If deal is right will also throw in Service Manual. Motor and frame do have matching VIN numbers 2C18102H1 12 70. I have a copy of the owners manual that will come with the bike. I am open for questions. I would want to know everything about bike before I made a purchase. There is more great things to this bike than pictures can tell. i.e. New front brakes (oem) new rear wheel brake cylinder-Wagner-(oem) brand new stainless steal brake fluid lines. Replaced both front and rear wheel spokes with stainless steal spokes. All other non grade 8 nuts and bolts are stainless (which means no rust). New oil pump (oem) all new oil lines and hoses and original factory hose clamps. Original fuel tank shut-off valve. Original FX sticker on points cover. Original emblems (Super Glide) Original Tank emblem ( 1). Case hardened valve seats were installed to be able to run unleaded high test. Engine has been balanced and can provide documentation.
