Cool old, original crusty 1947 FL Knucklehead.
This was always a real bike but went thru the chopper years. The original frame is painted kind of purple/pink. The fenders are real, same as the '47 only gas tanks, even tho the colors don't match. Original offset front end, handle bars, shock, horn, headlight, rebuilt speedo, M35 carb. It has
old Buco bags that most of the bottoms are gone but still have a good look. Working 6volt charging system. Has old wheels as well as tires. It has a new wiring harness, coil, and bolt kits but most of it is old Harley stuff. Some parts have been antiqued to look old. Starts and runs good. This is sold as is! Clean title.

1970 is often considered the ultimate year for " unit" Triumph motorcycles.
They had it all-the classic beauty, more modern 12 volt electrics, twin leading shoe vented front brakes, and other upgrades just before the ugly and problematic " oil in frame" models in '71. The motorcycle offered here is the single carb 650 TR6R
or " Tiger" Each Triumph model came in only one color, but different for each year. In '70 the Bonneville was maroon and silver and the Tiger was the color you see here, called " Spring Gold" It is arguably one of the prettiest Triumphs ever and is instantly recognizable as the '70 Tiger.
This matching numbers motorcycle was treated to a sympathetic restoration prior to my ownership. It was repainted, engine freshened with new rings and whatever else it needed, some rechroming, and wheels rebuilt with stainless spokes. The seat, wiring, and electrics are all original and in excellent condition. The restoration was done some 20 years ago, and has had approximately 6000
miles since. Everything on the bike is OEM (original manufacture) with no repro parts. The original Champion spark plug caps are present. Even the tank badges are original UK items.
A rarity these days, the original British numbered keys are present, including the correct smaller head key for the steering lock (which functions perfectly). The paint looks brand new. It is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. There are two small chips in the leading edge of the fender that have been touched up and they would not show up in a photo. There is a pinhole size nick in the side of the tank paint. The rest is perfect, like glass. The frame has a couple of small nicks but is otherwise excellent and I believe
it is the original paint. The chrome is near perfect with only a minor flaw here and there.
All the correct stickers and decals are present and the bike comes with a factory workshop manual, owner's handbook, and the ORIGINAL factory Union numbered keys, including the steering lock key. This is a late production bike and has the correct, later black faced gauges which were phased in mid-year. The tires are older Dunlops and should probably be replaced only due to age-they have plenty of tread. The wheels are original stamped Dunlops upgraded with stainless steel spokes. The chrome is excellent on both wheels except for a small section of the front wheel that is a little foggy-again impossible to photograph but visible to the naked eye on close inspection.
Everything on the bike works perfectly. It starts with one or two kicks and runs beautifully. There is no smoke and it shifts and brakes smoothly. A Boyer ignition was installed several years ago and it works flawlessly. It has plenty of power and is a super comfortable mount. It comes with a clear title.

This is an outstanding original example of Craig Vetter âs 1970âs icon â the Triumph X-75 Hurricane.
Mileage is 7,315. The engine number and frame numbers match. As is correct for this machine â the Triumph engine numbers are stamped over the BSA stamping. The bike still has the original stickers on the speedometer and fork tops
and a partially worn âMade in England â on the frame downtube! This is one of only 1,200 Hurricanes produced. The bike comes with an original Triumph 1973 full line brochure featuring the Hurricane on the first two pages. It also comes with a Factory Parts catalog and an Owner âs handbook (that maybe a copy. )

1947 Harley Davidson Knucklehead FL Motorcycle.
40,586 Miles on the speedometer. Clear title! It was last on the road in 2004. Looks to be a mix of Panhead/Knucklehead/Shovelhead. It was purchased from an estate. Previous owner had passed. So could not get all the details of the build. It looks to have been built for a nice riding knucklehead.
Looks to be a 1960's? Shovelhead frame. The engine turns over with lots of compression. Matching belly numbers. Both front and rear brakes no not work. They will need to be rebuilt. Both Tanks are clean inside. The right tank has a dent in the rear , Tanks are solid.
The throttle works fine (Gas was drained before storage). Bike shifts through the gears. The clutch pulls nicely. The Goodyear tires look great , with lots of tread left. Also no dry rot. Trip Odometer works. The chrome does show some rust/pitting. Everything is solid. Seat is stiff. M-74 Carburetor. The frame looks to have no cuts or modifications. I do not see any repairs to the engine.

Selling my beautiful 1973 Moto Guzzi Eldorado Police Conversion motorcycle.
I've had it since 2005. Always garaged and only ridden on the weekends, weather permitting. The bike was in excellent shape when I bought it. 90% original paint, with what appears to be some touch up that previous owner did. I just don't ride enough and it needs a new
