Robert's 1983 XLH Ironhead 1000
Robert from Highlands, Texas, rides this 1983 Harley Davidson Ironhead 1000 cc Sportster XLH which has 30,000 miles. Except the Ironhead engine, this bike was totally rebuilt three years ago, with all new wiring harness, controls, bearings, bushings, grips, foot pegs, seat, and the frame was sandblasted and painted silver. Robert recently rebuilt the front fork and put a new clutch in.
Here at Harley Ironhead we aim to show you the Ironheads as they are.
Robert has been riding his bike for the last few years, so no surprise that she has a little bit of rust and a few scratches in the paint.
