UP FOR AUTION IS EXCELSIOR HENDERSON #1503 OF LESS THAN 2000. I BOUGHT THIS BIKE NEW IN 2002 FROM A DEALER IN GA. AFTER THE FACTORY CLOSED . SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE GENTLY USED THIS BIKE,ITS ALWAYS BEEN STORED INDOORS THE MAJARITY OF TIME IN A CLIMATE CONTROLLED SPACE. THESE BIKES WERE KNOWN TO RUN A LITTLE HOT SO I ADDED A FAN ASSISTED OIL COOLER AND HAD ATLANTIC E-H DOWNLOAD THE SUPER X TUNE WHICH MAKES THE BIKE RUN COOLER AND ADDS A LITTLE MORE POWER.NO OTHER MOTOR MODS HAVE BEEN DONE TO THIS BIKE THESE BIKES HAVE A PROPRIATARY V TWIN MOTOR DESIGNED BY WESTLAKE ENGINEERING IN THE U.K. DAN GURNEYS EAGLE MK1 WAS BUILT AROUND A WESTLAKE DESIGNED V12.WESTLAKE HAS A LONG AND CONTINUING HISTORY OF BUILDING ALL KINDS OF MOTOSPORTS AND AVIATION POWERPLANTS. THE "X-TWIN" MOTOR DISPLACES 1386cc. THE REBORN EXCELSIOR HENDERSON MUCH LIKE THE ORIGINAL WAS WAY AHEAD OF THE COMPETITION. IN 2000 THIS BIKE CAME STANDARD WITH SEQUENTIAL-PORT,CLOSED-LOOP FUEL INJECTION , RUBBER MOTOR MOUNTS , DUAL OVERHEAD CAMS AND HYDRRAULIC CLUTCH AS WELL AS A LEADING LINK FRONT SUSPENSION. ALL STANDARD , ALMOST 20 YEARS AGO. PARTS ARE STILL AVAILABLE AND THERE ARE A FEW SPECIALISTS THAT SERVICE AND MODIFY THESE BIKES .ONE IS ATLANTIC EH,aka SUPERXPARTS.COM. IF YOU ARE A MOTORCYCLE NUT AND UNFAMILIAR WITH THE SUPER X STORY YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF TO GO TO : Motorcycle.com>features>skidmarks-excelsior Henderson THERES A REALLY GOOD ARTICLE WHICH GIVES SOME OF THE BEHIND THE SCENES STORY OF THE ATTEMPT OF THREE PEOPLE WHO WENT INTO THE MOTORCYCLE MANUFACTURING BUSINESS. THAT BEING SAID THESE BIKES WERE PRODUCED BETWEEN 1999 AND 2000 THE FACTORY WASNT AROUND LONG ENOUGH TO HONOR ANY WARENTEE ITEMS , HOWEVER SPECIALTY SHOPS LIKE ATLANTIC EH AND MIDNIGHT MOTORCYCLE AND EHPARTS.NET WILL SERVICE AND REPAIR THEM. DAN HANLON [FOUNDER] STILL MAINTAINS A WEBSITE DEDICATED TO ASSISTING OWNERS HELP KEEP THEIR BIKES ON THE ROAD.I BOUGHT THIS BIKE AS AN INVESTMENT,BUT HAVE DECIDED TO LET IT GO TO A NEW HOME . I SIMPLY DONT USE IT ENOUGH AND I ALSO OWN A SECOND ONE #1703. I CANT HELP BUT BELEIVE THAT THESE BIKES WILL BE THE 1901-1953 INDIANS OF THE FUTURE , BUT ONLY TIME WILL TELL . THIS IS A CHANCE TO BUY A SMALL CHAPTER OF AMERICAN MOTORCYCLE HISTORY THAT CANBE RIDEN AND ENJOYED AND SEE WHERE IT TAKES YOU . THIS ISNT SOME S&S CLONE KIT BIKE, THIS COMPANY WAS FOUNDED BY AMERICANS WHO WANTED TO SHARE THEIR AMERICAN DREAM WITH OTHER LIKE MINDED AMERICANS,THEY PUT IT ALL ON THE LINE IN A WAY THAT FEW TODAY HAVE THE BALLS TO . I'M LISTING THIS BIKE WITH A VERY FAIR RESERVE . I WILL BE AWAY FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS BUT ALWAYS MONITOR MY AUCTIONS SO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. INCLUDED IS A COPY OF DAN HANLONS BOOK "RIDING THE AMERICAN DREAM" SIGNED BY THE FOUNDER WITH THE BIKES SERIAL # ON THE COVER. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AND HAPPY BIDDING
