1927 Harley Davidson model J.


Did some more quick assembly for grins and to see how things fit.  Still lots of work to do on the engine.  I also have hours of cleaning, painting, sanding and more painting and sanding!  Still need a rear fender and drop stand.

JD cut-away.

For sale right now on Ebay.  Expensive but, very cool.  Says it was found in a South American trade school and brought back here to the states.

Just took another long trip for Harley parts!  I found a 1927 61" J engine thanks to a tip from Dave at Flat Out Vintage.  He told me to try Mark at Linkcycles.  Mark was kind enough to go through all the parts with me and show me what to look for, what was good and what was not.  Upon getting home I spread everything out along with parts I already have.  I put together a list of things I need or just simply want to replace.  Thankfully most everything is available from Competition Distributing.  Now I just have to keep the wife from looking at the bank account for awhile!

About the old photos on my page.

Most of the photos I post are available for sale on Ebay.  Not that I need any more people bidding against me!  Beware though.  Many of the images being sold are available from Shorpy and the Library of Congress archive for FREE!  I try to post quality images whenever I find them.  My intent is to create a kind of archive for vintage American motorcycles.  The other images are for my own amusement!
