Good afternoon guys,

We are in the process of finishing a restoration on a 1911 Emblem single, with the atomospheric intake valve. I am interested in hearing your opionions in regards to cam...

Hey Cory

See ya!

Denis

Hey Emmanuel,

Thanks for letting us know about your bike sale. I will be happy to pass the word along. Sorry your having to close up the shop!

Take care

Denis

Hey Tom

Those numbers look weird to me. Are you sure about them? Shouldn't it be W20L5409? and W20L5465? I thought that there was just the "W" model for 1919, the WF (magneto) model for 1920 as...

Um good question Eric

We usually change pistons. 9 times out of 10 we go aluminum. The only time we stayed with original cast iron was when I restored a 1915 Sears Dreadnaught. We found (believe...

November Lima-

I have a text published from Antique Cycle Supply Inc that appears to have been taken from a Harley-Davidson Text. For 1963 the colors are, Hi-Fi purple, Hi-Fi red, Tango red,...

Holy Cow!

Thats very cool. Thanks Duffey. I'll take some pictures of my Rikuo switch tomorrow. I haven't inspected it for those details yet. I think its pretty close to some of your pictures....

Hey Mike

When you guys pull it back down, would you give me the measurments of the rings. I will need cylinder bore size you are going to use, piston size you are going to use, ring groove height...

Ah!

Tom that is so funny!! It is a small world! I just love this stuff. I think I like the history and the research as much as I love working for the museum and doing the restorations! I just want...

Johnny,

I have a very good metal fabricator in Canada that can repair or build you a new tank. He's not cheap though. Let me know if you need his contact info.

Take care

Denis

Thanks Tom

Thats really interesting to hear. I'll have a close look at my frame on Monday. I had my tank repaired in Canada, with one side of the tank replaced. I still have the other side, so...

Now this is getting fun! Louie, if your Original Paint tank is Olive, it would have to be before 1922. That is when I believe they changed the primary color (to brewster green) and the pin striping...

Hey Chris,

I'll have a swing... I'd say the top photo is 1919 Sport Twin model "W" One of 753 for that year.

Picture number 2 I think is a 1920 WJ model, One of 823 for that year.

Picture...

Thanks Guys

All very interesting! Louie you put forth a very compelling argument. I have a few historical Harley-Davidson photos that are claimed to have been taken in March, 1920. The author...

Hey Bnsons,

What color are you reffering to? Looks like in your pictures you are making new tank decals? Are you in the process of restoring a Sport too? Just wonderin...

See ya

Hey Peter!

I'm so glad you are following this... I agree!! I was thinking the same thing my Friend.. During my research, I found period Harley-Davidson photos showing the early Trade Mark tank...

Hey Martin

It was such a interesting tour. I wish you could have been with us. Our guide, Bill Rodencal, the Museum's Corporate Archives Conservator, was so helpful for the millions of questions...

And a few more!
