Title:1961 Titled as Harley clear Florida Title
Engine :Very nice cases no welds found ,looks like it was polished way back Magneto and Cycle Electric Generator produces good power so no dim lights at rpm.Front Cylinder head has two small broken fins to the front.
The only leak we found is at the oil cooler line that is mounted behind the engine to the bottom.
The engine sounds tight but with all bikes we would suggest to take it down and check it out to prevent future issues.
Someone disabled the Magneto adjustment on the internal handlebar grip.
Frame :Looks like Ness Please correct us if we are wrong) but unsure as it was molded no damages found looks nice and straight but we did not check this with laser on frame bench).
Oil Tank :Looks like Ness as well.

Front End :Looks like Durfee again correct us if we are wrong)

Front wheel and front brakes:Narrow spool with dual airheart brakes one line was blocked off and we have the second caliper that needs to be rebuilt Master Cylinder is hidden under the tank and the one brake does have some pressure .... Airheart brakes are available by airheart not sure if they sell rebuild kits but complete calipers are fairly reasonable.

Prism Gas Tank :Again here unsure but could be one of Gary Little Johns creations £ Has flaking in side but holds gas without issues.  Never seen another one that is arched on the bottom ....

Rear Wheel :Stock rear Sporty with drum,....

Tires
Need to be discarded and replaced

Handlebars :Internal Throttle and Mag mag is locked in one position has two micro switches one for low and high beam and one for the shutoff shutoff to mag does not work)
