Hello, I have a 79' sportster done up as a Skoal Bandit bike. It has the Skoal Bandit decals, green and white Skoal colors, chromed parts,etc. The bike had 1000 miles on it when I got it. I think it must have been a promotion bike for them. I am trying to find some information on it and am not having much luck. If someone can help me or steer me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Thanks,Matt1958

This one maybe?

Probably not but it's worth a try...

 

Hey Matt, I got your PM and found the picture in your album.

That's a cool looking bike and in great condition!
Ahhh, the good ole' days, I can remember when the grass was green and the irrigation systems were running.

 

Thats not a sporty.

 

MAN!!! that thing is awesome! i have a friend that is a skoal girl, i will ask her if there is anyone she knows we can contact...

 

Matt, here's some links to information on the old Ironhead Sportys just so you know what you're in for:
