Antique! Original Owner! Antique! Collectible! Rideable! Clean Florida Title! After 41 years, I’ve decided to send my beloved XL350 on to another owner. The kids aren’t interested and I’ve ridden it less than 1000 miles in the 20 years I’ve been in Florida so it is time to go. It has been garage kept probably 95% of its life and is in very good original condition with no noticeable rust or corrosion. Never been wrecked. Usually starts first or second kick. Gets about 60mpg and has only been fed Premium fuel its entire life. Ready to ride or restore--has a bunch of new parts and has just been serviced! Currently registered and insured. Note that this bike is kickstart-only. It has charging, ignition and headlight coils and will run without the battery but the taillights, turn signals, brake lights and horn will not work. The engine has to be running for the headlight to work. Brand-new GEL battery. The engine is a 339cc single-cylinder, overhead cam, Radial Four Valve Combustion (RFVC) with two progressive carburetors--one opens before the other. Carbs just rebuilt. The transmission is 6-speed, 1 down/5 up. The valve clearance was just checked and was fine and needed no adjustment. This bike was voted “Dual-Purpose Motorcycle of the Year” in 1985 by Cycle World magazine. When I lived up north I used to ride it more frequently and mainly on a trail network in the woods. I’d guess at least 50% of the miles are off-road. I didn’t beat on it or race it or anything and it has always been well maintained. It will boldly go where no Harley has ever been before! :D When I first got the bike I put on the Hondaline luggage rack and front fender extension, DeBruzer crossbar pad, the SuperTrapp can, heavy-duty clutch springs as well as a 48-tooth rear sprocket up from the original 40-tooth. This is the second or third chain and sprocket set (SunStar, Japan) and has around 1000 miles on it. It idles at about a walking pace but top speed dropped 5mph to 70mph or so. It is not really a highway bike… Brand-new parts include: 50/50 knobby tires and tubes (rear is one size bigger than stock) Fork seals, fluid and gaiters Front brake pads and fluid Carbs rebuilt (it has two) Oil and filter changed Pleated paper air filter (custom made) GEL battery--got 9 years out of the last one All cables lubed and fittings greased Lockable waterproof bin bolted to the luggage rack. There is a plate inside and bin is sandwiched to the metal and rack. You can lift the bike up from the bin. Also included are the Owner’s Manual, Original Title and dealer paperwork, Factory Shop Manual, original muffler, Acerbis handlebar guards (one is cracked), Original Tool Kit, some misc. OEM parts, machete for the handlebars, etc. Doesn’t really need anything. Maybe a spark plug and rear brake shoes down the road. Reply with your phone number and a copy of your valid driver’s license. Motorcycle endorsement and deposit might get you a test ride--depends on if you are sketchy or not… ;) A 1984 model sold for about $11,500 a month ago on BaT and I get ONE chance to sell this so we'll start the bidding at $5585.
