With their large V Twin engines and swing arm rear suspension, the Harley FL models became the touring bike against which all others would be judged.

With their large V Twin engines and swing arm rear suspension, the Harley FL models became the touring bike against which all others would be judged. To this day, the word iconic is the ideal way to define these machines. This incredible example was completely restored just 2000 miles ago so that it now looks, runs and drives just as it should. The “Panhead” engine is the original one and it comes with the side mounted “suicide shift” hand control for the transmission. This is an astonishing opportunity to own a collectible motorbike which is a world recognized triumph of engineering and true work of art.
