Description
OFFERED FOR SALE IS MY 85 EVO SOFTAIL, THIS IS AN EARLY FIRST GENERATION EXAMPLE OF THE SOFTAIL MODEL AND RETAINS MANY FEATURES FROM THE EARLIER SHOVELHEAD MODELS INCLUDING THE 4 SPEED GEARBOX, CHAIN DRIVE AND KICKSTART..... THE FRAME, SWINGARM AND MANY OTHER FEATURES ARE SPECIFIC TO THIS EARLY PRODUCTION MODEL WHICH MAKES THEM VERY RARE AND COLLECTABLE NOW....
THIS PARTICULAR EXAMPLE IS IN LOVELY ORIGINAL CONDITION, STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL BLACK PAINTWORK AND RETAINING ALL OF THE HARD TO FIND PARTS THAT USUALLY GET SWAPPED OUT FOR AFTER MARKET ACCESSORY ITEMS... ALL OF THE ORIGINAL WARNING LABELS AND VIN LABEL ARE STILL PRESENT ON THE FRAME ETC....
THE BIKE RUNS AND RIDES WELL, ALL THE ELECTRICAL ITEMS AND CONTROLS WORK AS THEY SHOULD, HAS JUST HAD A FRESH M. O. T TEST ON 6-7-23.... UK REGISTERED WITH V5C PRESENT.
THE SPEEDO SHOWS JUST OVER 5000 MILES BUT PLEASE DISREGARD THIS AS I HAVE NO HISTORY FOR THE BIKE TO VERIFY AND SUSPECT THE SPEEDO HAS PROBABLY BEEN REPLACED AT SOME STAGE IN THE BIKES PAST....
SO ALL TOLD THIS IS A LOVELY UNRESTORED EXAMPLE OF A PRETTY RARE BIKE, I HAVE BEEN VERY CAREFUL TO RETAIN ITS CHARACTER BY NOT ATTEMPTING TO SHINE ANYTHING UP PRIOR TO SALE, IT IS WHAT IT IS, ITS GOT AGE RELATED SCUFFS, DINGS AND SCRATCHES, BUT ITS A NICE OLD SURVIVOR AND I FEEL IT WOULD BE A CRIME TO RESTORE IT...... THEY'RE ONLY ORIGINAL ONCE HEY......
VIEWING IS WELCOMED AND PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME SHOULD YOU REQUIRE ANY FURTHER INFORMATION
WOULD CONSIDER A PART EX FOR SOMETHING OLD OR INTERESTING.....
