Additional:
Bike is a restored/modified vintage Harley. Looks vintage except for disc
Brakes but rebuilt to keep up with today's roads and driving conditions.
Paint is HD "Ocean Blue", 18 years old and shows signs of bike actually driven daily. (not perfect. has small chips and scratches). Definitely more chrome on bike than HD original. First bike Harley ever named, "HydraGlide". First Harley with hydraulic front end. (hence the
name). Also first Harley to use stainless steel screw heads and electric
frame welding. Some chrome not perfect but all shinny. Haggerty stated value insurance at $40,000. Starts easily, but requires technique.
