This 1973 Harley-Davidson Servi-Car is powered by a 45ci flathead V-twin paired with a hand-shifted three-speed transmission. It was refinished in green during a refurbishment under previous ownership and is equipped with a locking fiberglass cargo box, an electric starter, a Mikuni carburetor, an engine guard, a front disc brake, a Hydra Glide fork, a steering damper, and 16″ wheels. The trike was acquired by the seller in 2023, and service in the time since included adjusting the valves, changing the oil, installing oil and fuel shut-off valves, and replacing the seat, grips, front wheel, tires, alternator belt, battery, spark plugs, points, condenser, and air filter. This Servi-Car GE is now offered at no reserve with the replaced front wheel and a clean Pennsylvania title in the seller’s name.
The trike was refinished in green under previous ownership and features a fiberglass cargo box with a piano-hinged lid, a lock handle, a lid-mounted antenna, bright metal bumper strips, four round taillights, and a chrome cat-eye lamp. Other features include a front-hinged black leather saddle with a sprung center post, a valanced front fender with chrome trim, a chrome handlebar, dual mirrors, a chrome headlight nacelle, a black-painted engine guard, and footboards with black rubber treads. The seat and handlebar grips are replacements. Photos that show paint chips and scratches can be viewed in the gallery.
A replacement 16″ wire-spoke wheel is fitted up front, and the rear axle carries 16″ steel wheels wearing chrome smoothie hubcaps. All three are finished in black are mounted with Shinko 240 Classic whitewall tires that were replaced under current ownership. Suspension consists of a Hydra Glide fork with chrome covers up front while the box rides on a combination of leaf and coil springs and hydraulic dampers. Braking is provided by a front drilled disc and a drum at each rear wheel, while the handlebar clamp accommodates the adjustment knob for a damper in the steering stem.
The chrome cat-eye console houses an ignition switch and a 120-mph speedometer that is noted to be inoperative. The five-digit odometer shows 240 miles, approximately 50 of which were ridden by the seller. True mileage is unknown.
The 45ci flathead V-twin is equipped with a replacement Mikuni carburetor, an electric starter, chrome primary and air cleaner covers, and a black-finished two-into-one exhaust system with a fishtail finisher. Oil and auxiliary fuel shut-off valves have been installed, and service under current ownership included adjusting the valves, changing the oil, and replacing the alternator belt, battery, spark plugs, points, condenser, and air filter.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through an enclosed double-row primary chain, a foot-actuated wet clutch, and a hand-shifted three-speed transmission with reverse as well as an automotive-type differential and a semi-enclosed drive chain.
