The Bike is registered in New York as 1950 EL Harley Davidson with New York State transferable registration, which serves as proof on ownership in NYS for vehicles prior to 1971. C.O. will for the custom frame will also be provided. The bike has just been built, Fresh paint, and the engine, transmission, clutch, wheel bearings, etc, etc has been redone. This is as close as to new 1950 HD as you're likely to get. The top end was redone, rebored to .020" with new pistons, new valves, and the bottom end has been fitted with new crankpin and rollers and the rods sized to match. The main bearings were honed and bearings sized to fit. In short, fresh motor. used 38mm Mikuni and fitted an automatic advance points unit for ease in starting. This is to kick starter, and runs strong, Displacement is 74 CU. and 8.5:1 compression. Everything possible has been done to make this reliable, good looking bobber you'll be proud to own. The transmission features close ratio first (2.6) and third gear clusters for smoother shifting and better suited ratios for light weight bobber. It has 1/2" belt drive, and the clutch is setup with new and updated parts to ensure smooth engagement and ease in selecting neutral when stopped. The electrics have been updated to 12 volts and uses an electronic regulator. 60/55 watt quartz halogen headlight is fitted. My preference when building this bike was to use original HD parts when possible, such as the hi/low, horn, and iginition switch, as the quality of these veteran parts exceeds by far what is available aftermarket today. Good used, time proven HD parts were used elsewhere when appropriate. You can expect this to be good running reliable ride, that will not only get you there, but have you lookin' good doing it. I've been building bobber HD's for myself for over 40 years, and, now that I'm retired, occasionally build one to sell. I'd love to keep this one myself, but need to move on. Look at the pics, and feel free to ask questions. Also, the bike just took first place in the Custom Street Bike category at the Syracuse Super Swap meet last weekend.
