Picked her up at 6am this morning for $200. Sitting in a machine shed since 2007. Rolls, has good rubber but tubes are toast. Rats nest in batt compartment. Tank clean inside. Black paint starting to come off motor. For 200 cant go wrong. Wife thinks Im flipping but i kinda want to keep both. Is it crazy to have two Rideable motorcycles?

Looks like a great buy. Can't say I ever got one that early in the morning though

With the left side petcock I am guessing a 75 or 76 ? How many miles on the ole' ticker ? As far as quantity the more the merrier, always good to have a few spares

Thats how i sell it to the wife...."But honey, I can be back before the kids get up!"

You stole that thing! Great find!! Having too many bikes is akin to having 'too much horsepower' or 'too much fun' - no such thing.

Did the Sportster come with it?

Sdsbassist · « **Reply #5 on:** April 26, 2015, 07:23:34 AM »

Plan right now...new battery plugs fluids and carb clean...see what happens

Kool!!!

Had a '63 CH and loved it!

Gotta remember which side the brake is on though, or things don't turn out well!

Ya. For sure. Im pretty well used to shifting on the right at this point

Might look like one of these wonderful foam aftermarket Uni filters that came in a bike I got -

Glad I didn't do too much cranking before I checked.

Crazy to have 2 ridable bikes? You mean only 2?! You're asking the wrong crowd.

Congrats, nice find.

Sdsbassist · « **Reply #13 on:** April 26, 2015, 08:07:35 AM »

Guy thought caliper was stuck too. Must be a sticky on it here somewhere!

Going to look at my blue find in 1.5 hrs. Hope I snag it..

$200 Gus

What a deal

Nothing wrong with 2 bikes, very few members here have only one bike. I myself have four Honda's and a Harley and that's a drop in the bucket to what some members have. Isn't that right Eric

Sdsbassist · « **Reply #16 on:** April 26, 2015, 09:02:16 AM »

I thought this would be a great bike when the harley is down (7 days out of 10)

Wire says accelerated. Maybe elect ignition?

Black engine means it's been outta the bike. For what reason?!

Sdsbassist · « **Reply #20 on:** April 26, 2015, 10:11:02 AM »

Dude says replaced clutch

Sdsbassist · « **Reply #21 on:** April 26, 2015, 10:33:14 AM »

Is there a way to safely test starting the bike with no battery?

What a bargain.

You can easily change clutch without removing engine.

Have you checked engine number to see if correct for year as F2 had black engine as standard.

I can post a few pics when i get home

Use your HD battery for the test. If it wont fit in the battery box, just set it on the footpeg.

In the meantime, order a battery here...
