So if you are here you no doubt know you have found an absolute peach and the place where Harley kicked off the factory custom bike look we have its 72 boat tail brother also so excuse similar ads , these bikes are hard to find stateside never mind here , for those that don't know what they are looking at
The Super Glide, which saw the light of day as the FX in 1971, was the first design of the acclaimed Willie G. The type designation FX was a combination of the F designation of the Electra Glide FLH and the X of the Sportster line, such as the XL and the XLH; the Super Glide finally used the front end (the forks and 19in wheel) of the Sportster, and much more parts (frame, engine, transmission etc.) of the Electra Glide. It was H-D?s first factory custom to become the ancestor of many custom and chopper versions

The Boat tail rear fender was standard on the models in 1971, but already after one year it was replaced by a ?normal? fender. this being the normal one
Willie G?s first design, the ?71 Super Glide, sparked off a lot at the time. Willie G. Davidson is a descendant of one of the founders of Harley-Davidson; his grandfather was William A. Davidson.
Willie G became Vice President of Styling at H-D in 1978, and the man turned out to have a talent and a vision to lead H-D with his custom creations to beat the competition, and was often ahead of his time.
The Super Glide is the name we all know but few know that the first official name given by H-D to the model was Night Train. It was scrapped after a short time for unknown reasons and would become the designation for a line of Softail models many years later.
This bike is well just superb survivor, the paint is original and was just starting to lift around the cap we have saved this by an old school trick and it should be good for years to come and meant it could keep its penguin p** s cool paint , the shovel head motor is as clean as a whistle and is both electric and kick start , Kick start is awesome when you know you need to show off , kick start is great first thing in the morning , its fitted with S&S heads and does go well and sounds the absolute bees bits through those straight pipes , has a chrome rear swing arm and not sure if that was stock or an option if I'm honest but looks like its been there forever

Just in to us from a sunny state and boy does it show , we only bring the best and not just anything to fill a container , the bike is extremely original and I think you will agree it looks absolutely fantastic and would grace any collection.
The bike is here because we want to sell it and not because we need to, so hopefully stupid offers wont come if they do they will be ignored

Its quite possibly one of the nicest 1973 Fx around and as such demands proper respect

It really is a fantastic looking bike its the thing of dreams and dreams are to be fulfilled

So there you go you can probably tell I really like it, why wouldn't I

Tax and MOT exempt for the lucky new owner so ready to get you out in the wind and make memories
Feel free to come and see for yourself what an absolute stunner this is

Cheers Matt and Lisa
