Lot 372
Single Owner - 11, 015 Miles From New
1991 Harley-Davidson 1340cc FXRS-CONV Low Rider Convertible
Registration no. H449 TUY
Frame no. 1HD1EML17MY116772
Engine no. * EMLM116772*
This Low Rider Convertible (the convertible aspect relates to city or country riding), was purchased new by the vendor in 1991, from Motex, and was supplied with the following factory fitted extras:- Screaming Eagle cam, ignition unit, and silencers, smooth bore Mikuni carburettor, and solid rear wheel. The owner later fitted stainless steel spokes to the front wheel, changed the rear chainguard, side covers and fuel cap for chrome items, and removed the screen. The original camshaft, carburettor, ignition unit, silencers, rear chainguard, side covers, fuel cap, screen, spokes, and factory-supplied soft panniers all accompany the bike, together with an after-market Le Pera single seat.
H449 TUY was used regularly by the vendor most years, but only in Summer months, for limited mileage. The mileage from new was only 11, 012 at the time of consignment. It has been regularly serviced by the fastidious owner, who is a trained mechanic with a lifetime of experience. It is obvious to the most casual observer that this machine has been cosseted by the careful custodian. Having covered less miles in recent years, the vendor has regretfully concluded that it is time for the Harley to pass on to another, who can exercise her a little more regularly. An opportunity to acquire a one owner, low mileage, Harley Davidson Low Rider, ready to use and enjoy. It should be noted that this machine is not the Dyna-framed model, which was introduced in 1991. Documentation comprises a current V5C, original sales brochure, current MoT certificate (expiring 6th May 2025), a factory workshop manual, old Mot certificates, and sundry papers. Two ignition keys present, but no steering lock key.
All lots are sold 'as is/ where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding. Visit the Bonhams Motorcycles website for all pertinent auction information.
