Most
likely an old renovation, has been in the swedish register since 1975 and are
well used after that. The engine has new cylinderliners recently and it runs
well.
The
Harley looks almost like it is an old original unrenovated bike so it is
possible to use it like it is wich I would do. It is also possible to renovate
it again as it won´t be an original paint job that will be ruined.
After we cleaned the bike and it looked better then I expected. I filmed after the
wash and you can see the movie at the link below. I have tried to film the
damages on the paintjob. It is a little wet so it is probably more shiny then
in real life.
After
driving it I can give this verdict.
Was ok
but I think it could be much better with an overhaul, it has been used a lot
for many years. Engine sound nice but could probably be better with some
carburation and ignition adjustment. Clutch is slipping at third gear, may
be adjustable, gearbox works fine. Electrical seems to work a little intermittent, system worked three days ago but
not today, the switch besides the ignition switch is said by the former owner
to be working and not working, today it was not. I think I would fix this
first, the wiring looks like it could be original.
Chassie
is working ok, it feels very loose when it is just standing still and you shake
the handlebars but when driving it works fine.
The
paint job I think was made by a good painter long time ago, pinstriping is masked
not by brush.
