1988 Harley-Davidson Sportster 883 Hugger custom show bike. Asking $10,000 OBO.
This motorcycle was purchased used, stripped down and rebuilt from the ground up in 2015. I was told the build was completed by Chad Michaelis of Waukesha, Wisconsin, specifically as a show bike, and that it won multiple trophies.
A Harley-Davidson mechanic who inspected the motorcycle said the engine appeared to be a fresh build and estimated that approximately $12,000 was invested in the motorcycle’s custom parts, build and workmanship.
FEATURES:
• Custom emerald-green metallic paint and tank artwork
• Custom genuine alligator-skin seat
• Extensive chrome and polished components
• Custom chrome wheels
• Custom handlebars and controls
• Current odometer displays 795.5 miles
• Starts, runs and rides great
• Running video available
• Service records included
RECENT HARLEY-DAVIDSON DEALERSHIP WORK:
• New front and rear tires
• New front and rear valve stems
• New front and rear wheel bearings and races
• Correct front and rear wheel spacers installed
• Wheel-bearing endplay properly set
• Bearings packed with Harley-Davidson wheel-bearing grease
• Rear drive chain serviced and lubricated
• Dealership inspection and six-mile test ride completed
Additional documented work completed during my ownership includes a new battery, new spark plugs, engine and transmission fluid service, filter service, brake-fluid service and additional hardware repairs.
MILEAGE AND SPEEDOMETER DISCLOSURE:
The motorcycle’s current odometer displays 795.5 miles, believed to represent mileage accumulated since the ground-up rebuild. The Wisconsin title records an odometer reading of 16,069 miles and states that the motorcycle is exempt from odometer disclosure.
The aftermarket speedometer’s live speed reading becomes inaccurate at certain riding speeds and cannot be properly calibrated. This issue is documented on the Harley-Davidson service record. An OEM or GPS-based speedometer could be installed if desired.
Asking $10,000 OBO. Serious, reasonable offers are welcome. No trades.
No test rides without the full agreed-upon purchase price in verified funds held by the seller, a valid motorcycle endorsement, proof of insurance and a signed test-ride agreement.
Located in Eagle, Wisconsin.
