So I'm getting a Hardly Ableson

[JPG1911]

A friend of mine is in the unfortunate position that he needs to sell some things for some quick cash. He has offered to sell me his 1980 Ironhead sportster for a song. Mrs. 1911 originally shot the idea down, but I reminded her that within the next month we have 1) Father's Day 2) My Birthday and 3) Our 10 year wedding anniversary. So the Harley will come to stay with me

The bike has shared a tool shed with pool chemicals for the last 3 or 4 years so the tires can't be trusted, and all of the chrome on the bike is either flaking or gone. This is perfect for me since I hate chrome and plan to paint or powdercoat most everything flat black anyway. The sportster has custom blue paint on the tank and fenders, FatBob tanks, forward controls, a S&S Super E shorty carb, and a very nice Corbin leather seat. For some reason, they replaced the electronic ignition with points and condensors, so I plan to swap it back. It will probably be a few more weeks before I go to get the bike, but I will post more pictures when I get her.
