Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Planning to make a few videos of bringing this forgotten Harley Sportster 1200 back to life!
Check out the Vance and Hines pipes I put on!
• Bringing This Abandone...
It has good compression on both cylinders, needs a few cosmetic things and some vital components as well!

    This bike was obviously layed down, hence the broken control bolts and brake lever. Some people wreck and never sit on a bike again. Hadn't been touched since it was simply wrecked... SMH!

    I like to add Seafoam additive to the gas and oil to something that sat for a while. Ride it for 50 miles and change the oil again. You might be surprised at what comes out. I did that plus new plugs, air and oil filters on a 96 1200 Sporty and damn! Thing pulls! I love it.

    I don't even understand how someone lets a bike that isn't even old or fucked up in that situation. On its side, in tall gross wet grass. That seems insane to me. Why couldn't he just leave it on the kickstand in the driveway? I mean, his bike, he can do whatever he wants, it just doesn't make sense to me haha. Also, when changing oil, I always fill the fiter with fresh oil too so its not dry upon first start up. You may have done it, I just didn't hear you say it when you lubed the seal. I am pumped you are bringing it back to life! One more thing, I am assuming someone stole the mufflers when they took the mid controls. Sometimes the pipes have to be removed to get at the controls so it would make sense!

    I have always subscribed to the thought tgat a good bike is one where every part can be individually repaired or replaced. Peter Egan expounded upon this in his "Leanings" articles. The Sporty is just one example. It's worth the price of admission after you 'snick' it into gear after a rebuild.

    That’s an evo for you… treated like dirt (literally it was if you think about it) pun intended… and was tipped up and started fairly easy. The brand speaks for itself. I pulled an 84 shovel head out of a barn in 2020 to restore as a “lockdown pandemic project”. It was there for 24 years… new carb, fresh fluids, plugs and wires, gas and a battery and it started within 10 seconds of cranking. It was mind blowing. They are tough bikes whether people want to admit it or not. 24 years in the grave and that old bike took me to the store and back after three hours of wrenching.

Not the motorcycles fault but part of the Revival process I guess. They all start life is good bikes. It's just the abuse they endure through their lifetime.

    Hey Harleys don't leak oil... they mark their territory. Go on Craigslist some times you can find parts for cheap or for free. I got 2 brand new exhaust systems for free. Also the best pipe for Harleys is a thunderheader bar none!! Their spendy but well worth it. There is a web site out of Dayton ohio. Called KCINT2 that I've dealt with many times. Great service even better prices. Enjoy your ride.
