Title: Going to look at a 39'
Post by: BBQBIKER on May 08, 2015, 07:22:53 PM
The owner says it runs, has a 1967 motor that replaced the original motor. I gues HD made flatheads till 73? I don't know enough about Harley's this old to know if this is worth buying, or run away. Thoughts?[attach=0]

What about the title? Title numbers will match the original motor.

I'd be worth it to me for the right price.

the bike pictured is a 45" solo.  the "G" motors for that model were also used on the trikes that were discontinued in the early 70's.
Great bike to ride as they are a lot of fun. not much for top end speed but a lot of fun on the back roads.

When I road servi cars for Toronto Police in the 70's the last new one we received was in 75. Down hilll with a tail wind you could get maybe 45mph.

The stock military motor as a solo will do 85 in original trim, all it needs is a big sprocket.
