65 iron head sportster


This is my 1065 Sportster which I have owned since 1969.Naturally it has gone thru many transformations over the last 40 years but this is the final version for me and I regretfully have to part with my baby for medical reasons.
The motor was a stock 900 cc but has been converted,with the use of 1000 cc barrels and heads,Shortblock Charlie heads which are superior in all the flow chart results at every rpm to screamin eagle, It has 9 1/2 to 1 Manley Pistons, and Manley valves, Sifton cams which make Andrews cams look like tonka toys, a 23 tooth primary srocket for high gear ratio and better cruising speed and comfort with less vibration. It also has an S&S Super G carb and is a one kick machine due to propre timing with a light as opposed to old timers who use matchbook covers. And last but not least It has Truit and Osborne Stroker fly wheels with a 4 1/2 inch stroke. using S&S rods for added strength and stbility. I built this motor about ten years ago and it still runs like a Swiss watch.Anyone who would like to see it start and hear it run is more than welcome. This bike is a no problem rider but I onlr recomend it to someone who can handle the power combined with old school tecnology Contact me at r65xlch@comcast.net Thank you
