2004 ARLEN NESS ORIGINAL BUILD - HARLEY DAVIDSON

£15,999

This is a rare piece of “Californian Custom Bike Builder" history.

You are looking at a true Master Piece, built by the Godfather of custom bikes, ARLEN NESS.  This bike was built by ARLEN NESS himself and was purchased by a friend of The Hogfather’s directly from Arlen and Cory Ness (with documents, to show). The bike is a 2004 model year, as stated on the Certificate of Title. It has done about 2000 miles. 

The Previous owner advised that the bike was a multiple show winner throughout America and Europe. It recently won the overall custom bike show at a Harley Davidson European Rally. As you can imagine ARLEN NESS has ensured only the best quality parts have been used during the assembly of this bike. The build quality is exceptional - its show winning record is an endorsement of that!!

The bike is fitted with a 96 cu Patrick Racing, hand built, 1600 cc custom chromed engine. Very smooth, very powerful and sounds absolutely fantastic with the upturned BUB pipes! Unlike most custom bikes, this bike was designed by ARLEN NESS to be used. It handles beautifully and is extremely comfortable.

THE PREVIOUS OWNER COMMISSIONED THIS BIKE DIRECTLY FROM THE ARLEN NESS FACTORY AND IT COST $37,425 (IN 2004). TAXES AND DUTIES PAID ARE £5,675. SO, IF THIS WAS COMMISSIONED AND IMPORTED AT TODAY'S EXCHANGE RATE, THE OVERALL COSTS WOULD BE WELL OVER £50,000.

ONCE THE DVLA ASSIGNED A REGISTRATION DOCUMENT TO IT, WHAT THE HOGFATHER HAD TO DO WAS PUT A UK PLATE, ATTACHED A DAKOTA DIGITAL MCV7000 SERIES SPEEDOMETER, TACHOMETER INFORMATION CENTRE AND FRONT MUDGUARD. IT IS NOW FULLY LEGAL WITH MOT.

IT IS BELIEVED TO BE ONE OF THE LAST BIKES ARLEN AND COREY NESS BUILT TOGETHER.

 ALL DOCUMENTS ARE AVAILABLE TO SEE UPON VIEWING THE BIKE.

This machine is for sale in our showroom so may be sold without notice – it will be withdrawn from this site, at the earliest opportunity when sold.
