You ride a Harley?

I've got a 1993 Harley sportster I'm looking to invest my money in. In other words I'm trying to buy this bike but it's a non runner, its so beautiful. I'm pretty handy myself. So I'm gonna look into ordering a used engine and go from there. The plan is to be riding one by next spring. You know I like to ride Doc, I'll have to take you up on that ride next time I come out to Austin or Houston and you're around.

My advice is to stay away from a non-running bike and buy a running, fuel injected bike. The 93 will be a carburetor bike. With this crap ethanol fuel we get these days, in a month, the carb will be varnished up if you don't ride it often. What you will spend getting a used engine (lord knows what condition it will be in) plus labor to install, you can avoid the hassle and guess work and will be money ahead getting a much newer bike that runs! That's my $0.02 worth.

I hear you. I was actually gonna attempt to do the motor swap my self so I wouldn't have to worry about labor. I think it would be a great project. I've worked on cars before and have been able to do a great job I'm mechanically inclined if you will. I know Mike's are a whole different story but it's cheap and what the hell she s a beauty. I'm not necessarily looking for a bike I just came across this one from my friend

Eagle Mountain Cycles in Azle is a small shop that has worked well for me. Also check out the North Texas Harley group on Facebook for recommendations.
