1971 Harley Davidson Superglide also known as the Night Train. This is one of the first year collectible Harley Davidson Boat Tail Superglides. I purchased this bike as it basically is from it's second owner. The second owner purchased the bike from the original owner around 1976. The second owner stored and maintained the bike to a high standard as he did with all of the motorcycles that were in his collection.
He made some modifications to the bike over the years to have the bike more user friendly. He added a slightly larger front end for better handling and a disc front brake to increase the stopping power as opposed to the original factory front drum brake. The second owner also had the bike repainted in Harley Davidson's Racing colors of Black and Orange. The paint scheme mimics the way these early boat tail Superglides left Harley Davidson with only the color change from the factory red, white and blue.. The paint work was done years ago and still presents well. The original tin pieces, 3 1/5 gallon total fuel tanks and front fender, are in very nice condition as well as the fiberglass rear fender and boat tail. All of the bright work is in nice condition. The engine was rebuilt a few years ago.
I had both the tires replaced earlier this year. Dunlop D401 and D402 Harley Davidson tires were installed. The battery is less than a year old and the speedometer has been replaced. The actual mileage on the bike is unknown.
