New to the Harley world, can someone please identify this bike

70's FX or FXE


FXE had electric start, the bike in the vid has a kicker though.

Not a wide Glide, definitely an early Super Glide


something between '72, and ..... '76
 
My guess is a 74/75 FX.. That group according to the flyer on the video is playing in Wa. in sept. at the outdoor amphitheater at the muckleshoots about 5 miles away. I stay WAY away when they have a concert..

NO I wouldn't get near that mess to ask the DUDE... All featured in video make "good looking bikers" but doubt IF that bike goes with them up here. Just the right age/style bike for that video.... Nice

The pics are definetly iron head sporty. could be a 70 with an aftermarket trans. 70 would have the foot shifter and break on the wrong sides. I think in 70 the xlh was a 883 and the xlch was a 1000. kick start only. the small pics make it hard to see but it is far from original. ive got a 70 and just going by that.
 
The original photos are that of an early ironhead Sportster and probably 883. Somewhere after 1964 as the 64's were the last year for 6 volts and the motor pictured has an electric starter but prior to 1973. I would juess from the pictures the only stock items would be the motor/trans, the front forks and brakes. Can't tell about much else. The breaker appears stock also.

Keep the dirty side down Ride safe

If you like that one, click on the video for "Blind in Texas". Great song/video and ZZ Top even makes a quick cameo appearance. Living in Dallas, I can really relate to that song. :D
 
Nothing much stock/orginal on this bike. Can't remember those side cases so maybe in the 65 to 69 year range but they could be aftermarket as well. I thing you can lump all the old iron head Sportsters in the $1500 to $2500 range. I would put this one in the bottom but that is me and I haven't rode it. You need to be able to adjust points on the fly, and would carry a tool kit for first few months until you gain that comfort level. A good running Sportster will be a street brawler light to light fast. But so many were hacked on by guys that were not into a long term aproach. More like the get it through the season approach. Buyer beware
