Hey! My name is Ty. I have been riding motorcycles my whole life. I currently have a Yamaha FZ1. I am here seeking information. I recently had an uncle pass away and he left a couple Harley Davidson motorcycles behind. I'm looking at buying one of them from his daughter (the new owner). I know nothing about Harley Davidson motorcycles so anything you can help with would be great.

Welcome to the site. What info do you have on the bike? What is the VIN?
There is a Classic section on the forum, you might to post there as well.
I can get the vinlater this week. Probably Fridayor Saturday. The information I have in the bike is what you see before you. I helped move them out of a garage into a different shed so they can sell the house. Thanks

Hand shift, foot clutch...it would be fun...but terribly under powered and horrible drum brakes coming off a FZ1
That is a spare pair of oil/gas tanks beside it...you would want to get those also...hard to come by.
The blue shovelhead behind it would have a lot more power.
It looks awesome and looks like it would be kick *** to ride. I have wanted some thing like this for a while. And yes super spoiled with the power and handling of the FZ1. But motorcycles are fun no matter the speed or power. Also thank for the information!

Reason: Multiple posts
More of a collectors bike than a daily driver I would think. It takes a lot of cash to restore them properly and you really don't want to be stranded riding it.

If you don't get the bike, can you post the asking price? Your correct, it would be kick *** to ride.
