Actually, Harley-Davidson did not invent the V-Twin, it is hard to believe. Harley-Davidson is more recognize when they winnings in races, endurance contest, and hill climbs. For a long, long time this V-Twin stayed with Harley Davidson motorcycle.

The Harley-Davidson Company saw further growth in the year of 1912. They also became a motorcycle exporter this year and their first overseas sale was made in Japan. About 20,000 motorcycles were used in the war, and most of them Harley-Davidsons. Harley Davidson was the biggest motorcycle factory in the world and they have nearly 2,000 dealerships worldwide in 1918. A long with appearance changes such as the “eagle” design, which was painted on all Harley-Davidson gas tanks, changes were also made to the engine.

Now on, the 1340 cc is the biggest Harley Davidson motorbike that ever appeared. Civilian production on the motorcycle was mostly suspended in 1941 because the company turned out motorcycles for the world war. Harley-Davidson received the army-Navy “E” award because of their commitment and excellent, this would not be the last time.

1977 Harley Davidson sportster info?

I will be inheriting a 1977 harley sportster from my uncle who passed. I have never owned a harley as I have only owned sports bikes, and I am having trouble finding information on this bike. Anyone know of good websites with info and parts for this bike. I would like to replace certain pieces that have rust and what not on them. Any info on this bike would be helpful
Thanks
Is this a good bike? How would you rate it overall? I would like to make it really nice (has been sitting a long time, but runs great) Does this bike have any value? I do not want to put too much into it if it is only worth 500 bucks. I could just use it as is. Thanks again
I am not going to sell it because I would like to keep it in the family.

they do hold their value,how much depends which model it is. there should be a tag on the neck(xlh,xlch,xls)I'm not sure when xlx came outbut those are rare,or if its a caferacer. you are going to have rust on some parts because it has cast iron parts (ironhead). JandPcycles,custom crome,and several others have replacement parts. set up right it will keep up with most sport bikes. A good one can be worth over 4500
