More about this bike
Listing details from the bike's own eBay listing: Year: 1948; Make: Harley-Davidson; Model: EL; Mileage: 0 miles; Engine: 1,000 cc; Type: Touring; Color: Black. Let's Go! I always meet great people here. I am selling my 1948 Harley Davidson EL Panhead survivor. This bike is highly collectable because it was the last year of the springer fork, and the first year of the more reliable Panhead motor. I parked it about 10 years ago and recently changed the gas and oil, reconditioned the battery, cleaned the plugs and it fired right up. After all that time it needed a little help so it just spent the last month being completely gone thru and repaired by an amazing local vintage bike mechanic. The oil pump was cleaned and repaired, the throttle was adjusted, the electric system was gone thru, the tires were changed, and on and on. I am not a Harley Davidson scholar so I am hoping to learn more about it from all you experts out there. I think it is a very original bike - the case numbers are all correct and it is maybe a 15 year old restoration? It is a rider now however, I will include the original handlebars, original seat, original sissy bars, original manual, saddle bags, and license plate, with the sale just in case anyone wants to show it. Priced it on Hagerty - it's not in concours but is in excellent condition ( which books out at $41,800) . Clean Colorado Title. I have the bike marketed locally as well and reserve the right to withdraw the listing. Bike is being sold in as is condition. Please review all photos and videos carefully. If you are not local I will work with you and your shipper to get it picked up. Buy with confidence - I have sold cars, watches, jewelry, etc on eBay for 25 years without a bad review. Please feel free to contact me at 303-906-1616 with any questions. Thanks Sean I love eBay because you can find great deal on those favorite items from your past. It like shopping in a time machine! I do not want to sell anything that anyone is unhappy with. I do my best to describe the items I sell, but if you are unhappy please let me know and I will do my best to make things right.
What the photos show
- Black 1948 EL with springer front end, full fenders and solo seat, photographed on a driveway in daylight.
- Gloss black paint on tank and fenders looks bright in the frames, with chrome tank badge, air cleaner and oil tank.
- Panhead-style V-twin with chrome covers and black fishtail exhaust; a case stamp reading 148-9135 is shown in one close-up.
- Spoked wheels with chrome rims and thick tread visible; no close brake inspection in the frames viewed.
- Tank-top speedometer reads 00000 with a 17.5 trip showing, so true mileage cannot be judged from that dial.
- Separate frames show a spare solo seat, spare handlebars, rusty crash bars and a studded leather saddlebag off the bike; floorboard rubber shows cracking and the horn screws show rust spots.
- Can't judge from photos: cold start, running condition, charging, underside or title and numbers matching beyond the one stamp shown.
Money: $32,500 buys a glossy black 1948 EL as pictured, with spare seat, bars and saddlebag shown separately — verify numbers matching, title status, cold-start and running condition, and whether the spare parts are included before bidding.
