I recently picked this little Harley Davidson 45 up and got it ready to race. The new genre of Vintage Motorcycle Racing has really changed the antique motorcycle world. I read an article recently where a motorcycle enthusiast was ready to give up on motorcycles and then he was invited to the Race of gentlemen event which completely changed his view point on old bikes.
A person (yes guys and gals) can now get into these old machines and actually use them. With the advent of such events as The Cannonball, Race of Gentlemen and the Sons of Speed event put on by the Lane brothers these bikes are taking a good second breath.
The pictured motorcycle is for sale and is located in SOCAL
This is a nearly complete race ready Harley 45" flathead motorcycle that needs very little to have up and running. Would make a cool Race of Gentlemen motorcycle.

The handlebars are Indian and I do have some internal parts and cables that will work with these bars. You will need to purchase the grips. If you prefer I will change the bars out to a new set of period correct bars but the spirals will not work with them.
A new set of WR style exhaust pipes If you are local and pick the bike up I will include a set of custom pipes but they do need some adjustment.
Original Harley RL front fork and brake. They are chrome but still nice.
The bike is wired for a distributor ignition only set up. You may need to play with it as well as set timing.
