This 1972 custom Harley Davidson rigid shovelhead chopper is a rare find in the vintage motorcycle collector's market, particularly given the demand for unique, fully customized builds from Japan.

Notably, the combination of the original 1972 Harley engine with custom features like a jockey shift and one-off mid-step adds to its exceptional value, as collectors often seek vehicles that demonstrate both authenticity and uniqueness.

The current bid of ¥2,980,000 reflects the significant appeal of this vintage motorcycle, especially in Japan, where such meticulously crafted machines are held in high regard and often outperform typical market prices due to their outstanding condition and provenance.
