Late XXXX Harley Davidson FL (XX cu in)
Second Year Panhead, First Year Hydra Glide
Harley factory records state the company sold XX,XXX new motorcycles in XXXX.
The bike we're selling here today is late 'XX model, vin XX,XXX. Harley introduced telescopic forks in XXXX.
At this time in Harley's history, the OHV twins did not carry names, being or EL for XX cu in and F, FL, or FS for XX cu in. But sometime during the 'XX season, the merchandising division decided to name the overhead valve models 'Hydra-Glide', celebrating the new 'fluid' forks, and began stamping the name into the front tins. Earlier 'XXs had no name stamped on these tins, but our late-model does indeed have 'Hydra-Glide' stamped into the front tins (just behind the headlight).

Make me reasonable offer, and I'll talk to the owner.
The bike has been owned and ridden by two brothers since their father passed away. Our shop has been servicing the bike for the second brother for more than ten years. The current owner's recollection is that his father bought the bike in the late XXs or early XXs, and that the mileage is original and correct. He believes the engine has never been overhauled, and our shop has no reason to doubt this assumption. When the speedometer failed in XXXX, personally sent the instrument to Palo Alto Speedometer Inc in California. This company is well known in the industry and they overhauled the speedometer leaving the original mileage on the odometer (XX,XXX miles at that time). The bike can be seen at Zap Leather and Cycle in Paynesville, MN, Mon-Sat Xam-Xpm, Sundays and holidays XXam-Xpm.
