Dirty Old Shovelhead

This is a 1980 Harley Davidson FLH 80. It's very close to all original with just shy of 24,000 miles on it as of 11/30/2023.I purchased it in September of '23 in non-running condition. Most of what I did to it is documented here:

What's new on it:

tires

fork seals

front brake caliper

ignition coil

battery

dash

rear turn signal bar

points cover

clutch cover

Handlebar bushings

Headlight bulb

Intake seals

It does run and drive as it should. Here is a video of me taking it for a ride through all of the gears:

It's dirty. I live on dirt roads and try to ride it at least once a month even in the winter. It's not going to be polished as long as I have it.

There is no choke cable attached. I do have a cable for it that I will include with the bike. It came with the dash and is designed to feed through the dash, but the Keihin carb that's on it does not have the bracket for the choke cable. You can buy them, but it was $40 and it starts fine as it is but just requires a bit of babying until it gets warmed up.

All lights work including the turn signals.

The price is firm for now simply because I haven't really had a chance to ride it yet. If the summer of '24 is almost over and I've had a chance to ride it, I may negotiate -- unless I get attached.

Around Thanksgiving, I decided I should fill up the gas tanks for winter. When I did that, I noticed that one of the tanks leaked. I took it to a local body shop, and they patched it but when I put it back on I learned that it leaked in another spot, too. Thats a shame because the factory paint is pretty nice. Somebody other than me might be able to fix it, but I didnt want to go any further. So, I bought a replacement set of tanks off eBay. Thats why right now the tanks are mismatched. Both sets will go with the bike, though.

I might take trades. Im willing to hear your offers. Specifically, though, I could use a tractor with a PTO that makes at least 25 hp. It should run well. A tractor/generator combo would be ideal. Or, Id like a standalone diesel generator. Something to blow snow might be okay but it would need to be sizable. Im not cleaning sidewalks. A backhoe would be fun, too.
