1984 Harley Davidson XR1000. Registration number A691 KJT. Frame number 1HD1CDH34 EY111014. Engine number 1HD1CDH34 EY111014.
The XL 1000 was a development of the 1982 Sportster chassis and engine bottom end, and added new, better cylinders and heads bolted to the crankcase. A single carb with competition-look K&N air filter fed each head with a high level exhaust, again with a nod the the XR750. Wheels were cast aluminum, paint was more subdued; most of the two year run production run of 1100 were charcoal in colour, 177 were black with an orange strip.
The basic XLX Sportster was just $3995, the XR1000 was nearly $7000 so never sold well.
KJT is a rare UK machine with only two owners, the first being Frank Chapman of Oxford who registered it on the 2nd March 1984. He sold it to our vendor in 2004. There are MOT's on file from 1998 at 3,758 miles, 2000 - 2004, 4,970 miles, then 2008 at 4,982 and 2009 at 5,248, today it is 5,256.
Unused for many years it will require recommissioning and will make a great addition to any Harley Sportster collection. Sold with the V5C, V5, old MOT's and purchase receipt for our vendor. The believed original front mudguard and seat in black and orange are included with the machine, there are no keys.
