If I was rich, I would own one in a heart beat. Hands down one of the most awesome bikes ever. Im only 23, but I have watched that movie time and time again. Grew up with it. When I was working in Malaysia, I watched the last couple mins before the credits over and over where he gets the girl and rolls into it leaving the rodeo. That was the day I said "you know what, f*ck it. Im buying one when I get home."
Also, at the end of Avengers, Captain America is on a Slim. So I kinda have a Captain America bike! hahaha.

Jevanof, WOW! Great job. Is that bike for sale? If so, how do I contact you and find out more about it. I had Black Death Motorcycles build me one several years ago. The bike looked awesome but man they did a horrible job on quality control. The tank leaked, the wiring sucked, and on, and on. I redid everything and sold it to a guy in Texas. I wish I would have kept it now.

There are 3 bikes used to make the movie "Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man" ! being a jap bike used for the wheelie scene and nobody cares about that, another as a "stunt" bike and a 3rd bike that legend claims was Mickey's personal bike. Both FXR based bikes have extremely different parts on them. At no point in the movie, I have found where I can see the ugly is in sticker. But everyone puts one on there replica bike cause they see it in a museum. I choose to build a replica of the bike that is seen the most in the movie, in fact every seen but 2...

You can come cash & carry it direct from my house in Las Vegas, Nevada if you want to save some dough on shipping.
This is a Genuine H-D, Title, Frame, Engine & belly Numbers Matching, Swing-Arm Harley Davidson FX .
This is Not a special construction, Not re-constructed, Not Salvage, this is a REAL HARLEY-DAVIDSON and is titled as such.
35 Thirty Five Year Old Plus Genuine OEM Title, Engine, Cases, Frame, Numbers, Matching H-D Shovelheads without broken fins, cracks, welds, repairs are few & far between to say the least.
IF you are looking for a Real Genuine OEM Factory H-D Kick & Electric Old School Cool, Fast & Loud Harley-Davidson Big Bore, Big Twin that stands out from all the rest on bike night or bike week, and DEPENDABLE, RELIABLE enough to get you to Sturgis and back or coast to coast then you found it.

Very cool, Bohemian. I can't imagine 500 miles a day on that sort of bike. Credit to you. I don't think rigids are that bad, but that seat has to suck.
