Well done Rick. Many thanks indeedIt is a WLA model..........45 cubic inch (740 cc) V Twin Flathead (knuckle head)
I remember that build fondly John. Learnt a lot about leather work from your model.Yep definitely a Harley. I think its a 750cc but I am no expert. I did build the 12th scale kit, or maybe it's ninth scale.
Just come across this thread, you're forgetting that they were also a 'suicide shift' - hand change on the left of the tank (including clutch), some changed them to a foot change and hand clutch on the bars.Without digging out my Harley Refs. .......buried in storage, It is a WLA model..........45 cubic inch (740 cc) V Twin Flathead (knuckle head) Top speed over 60 mph.........must of been a scary ride at that speed on a springer suspension with fabric tires.
Think an electric fence would be better , easier for those taking photo's Rick . Its shame when people just cant respect displays.First shot shows a 1941 Indian S-41 partial restoration, the second is an H.D. WLA from the rear with the Indian on the right. Sorry for the lousy pics, The Museum put up a fence cos people can't read signs and control their kids, to keep them from climbing on the exhibits.View attachment 464178View attachment 464179
TBH John, that is needed at any show, the number of little brats that have to be chased off exhibits makes you wonder what the parents are like - worst case I've heard of was a chap arriving at a show, gleaming bike, as soon as he switched it off to book in, a woman allowed her toddler to grab the exhaust pipe and then had a go at him because it burned the childs hands! Lucky that the brat didn't grab the downpipe - would have been hospitalised.Think an electric fence would be better , easier for those taking photo's Rick .
