The picture is something I found on the internet
I have been searching for a 1952 or 53 Harley Davidson K Model that I owned years ago. Many years ago!I know it was a 52 or 53 because it did not have the trapdoor to gain access to the gearbox. The last time I saw it was in Vallejo, California and I believe it is still in the Vallejo area.
Here is all of the history that I have. I went to Vacaville to look at a basket case K Model with my friend Mark Alexander, this was in about 1983. It was scattered throughout an old shed behind the sellers house and we picked up everything that looked like a Harley part and Mark bought it.
I had always fancied having a flathead Sportster since looking at a beautiful custom K Model chopper in Benicia earlier in life. It was for sale but hopelessly beyond what I could afford.
After my Death Trap 650 BSA tried to kill me one last time I decided to sell it. I was then working on my 1947 45" Harley and the thrill of owning the BSA had passed. I asked Mark if he would swap the Harley K Model for my BSA. It was a pretty rapid transaction.
After the horrible accident on Highway 29 my friend Mike Dickerson was in need of something to focus on so I gave him the Harley K Model project. He never built it and the last time I saw it he had painted the sheet metal tan and the frame black. After his death, his brother Ralph Dickerson inherited the motorcycle.
Ralph went away for awhile and a guy named Donald Williams in Vallejo had possession of it. I believe that Donald also died and after that the trail went cold.
It was in a garage in Vallejo the last I heard but I couldn't get a response from the person who had it, I believe it is a relative of Donald Williams.
Here is the chain of ownership as I know it
Mark Alexander
Tim Drennen
Mike Dickerson
Ralph Dickerson
Donald Williams
Donald Williams relative ???
So if anyone knows where this motorcycle presently resides please give me a call @ 951-992-9839
