1972 Harley Davidson FLH For Sale see timeless-moto.com
Without fail everyone who has seen my little collection stops and comments very positively on this bike. I was no different, and had to have it when I saw it. I believe the Shovelhead has and will continue to progress as a highly iconic and collectable Harley.
As the story goes this bike was part of a large collection in Texas where the owner decided it was time for the shovel to undergo a refurbishing. It is my understanding and belief that the 9,900 miles on the odometer are original as the condition of some of the original parts I have examined with expert Harley mechanics would give good reason to be so. The bike was professional refurbished to exacting specifications. New paint, saddle upholstery, wheels, spokes, tires, hoses, clamps, cables etc. The engine and transmission internal components are untouched I have had many experts hear the engine running and they all concur it is a very smooth sounding shovel.
This matching number bike has the majority of its original parts which have been plated, polished and tins repainted in the correct Starburst Purple. It sports the first year front disc brake (not drilled originally)
This is an excellent pristine example of the AMF era.
All the bikes get a lot of detailing attention but this one seems to catch my eye regularly and is subject to refinements and improvements every time I focus on it. I have had the bike running many times but currently, it has been properly decommissioned for display in the collection. Easily recommissioned.
Recent upgrades include several pieces re-chromed, a new OEM Briggs and Stratton ignition switch and a new front caliper which is a high quality German made, exacting replica. (Not shown in all of the pictures) I have also rebuilt the original Bendix carburetor with a Zenith genuine Bendix carb rebuild kit and an NOS Bendix float bowl.
