| Description |
1947 Harley-Davidson WLA
Purchased from a Chinese motorcycle mechanic in Jakarta, Indonesia in 1990 as a basketcase/rebuild. Then I had it rebuilt again in Medan, Sumatra by another Chinese mechanic, every nut,bolt and part was laid out on a white sheet and either painted or chromed. We found aluminum beer cans shims on this teardown. This is where the paint job came about. It is a copy of one from an old Easyrider magazine bike. Chrome work was performed in Medan and is not very good quality. Some flaking of the chrome is apparent. At this time some NOS parts were added from the USA. I then "rescued" the bike from Indonesia in 1993 and brought it back to the USA. I had the engine disassembled and gone through by an experienced Flathead mechanic in Colorado and the bike has less than 50 miles on the rebuild...
