I have been fortunate to have owned this Bi Centennial since 1997. However all good things must come to an end.

In the time I have owned it I have taken it from a rough and crude form and restored it to a more honorable and relyable existance. Doing old school things like polishing and buffing by hand the aluimum parts like these control levers.

However when it come to engine work, I turned that
over to Butch Clayton, of Clayton Performance. Shown here working on it.

The entire engine was gone over, and a fresh top end was done.

The bike has less than 500 mile on its rebuild, and has less than 31,000 original miles. The only changes being unleaded valves added.

There are many other spare parts that go with the bike, Including another set of 76 gas tanks.

Those interested in owning a truely rare 1976 ShovelHead Harley Davidson can contact me by phone.
This maybe the last all original and non-aftermarketed shovelhead from this area, and the only FLH Bi-Centennial known to be FOR SALE in existance.
