1942 Harley Bobber Project

Opps I did it again and the other one isn't even finished yet!!

I’ve never really been a Harley type of guy until I saw my bosses VL Racer from McSands Motor Shop Switzerland (www.mcsands.ch), after a while toying the idea I found this picture and decided to take the jump (even knowing the shit I’d get from some of my friends) well that was it no going back now!
Here’s my inspiration for my Bobber project. Jey Leno's WR.


How it started.........

“Ebay US:- Guys and gals. ‘42WLA engine with clean title. Most of the parts are here, been in storage for years but motor turns freely and all mounts are in good condition. All fins look good, heads are alu and all the bolts are there. This would be great to restore your old bike. Thank you and good luck!”
Click, PayPal, Job done :o)




“Ebay US:- Here she is, old but good, straight and not all hacked up. See the pictures. The frame is a 32 – 36 type R solo frame for a WLA Flat head. Ask anything! Thank you!”


This project is now sitting at my buddies’ house in MPLS USA just waiting to be sent to Switzerland which is a good thing because in the mean time I’ve found a few other parts to go with it now, after all better to send one big box then lots of little one :o)

“Ebay Canada:- 38 - 40 '45' two bolt transmission, No breaks or welds to case. Shifts good, gears look good. Buyer pays exact shipping.”



Well what can I say this baby is starting to take shape, just need to put a few more ticks on the shopping list, I’ll keep you posted.
