Default The First Harley-Davidson Factory Custom

Here's an interesting piece of Harley-Davidson history. The "Woolery Bullet" was the first motorcycle to come out of Milwaukee without the standard "Harley-Davidson" script on the gas tank. It's also made with an interesting combination of parts making this the first "factory custom" produced by Harley.

Check it out on the HDForums homepage: The First Harley-Davidson Factory Custom

It's like a CVO before the CVO.

Those are actually factory colors for 1933. Usually you see the '33 paint scheme in red and black, but the silver and turquoise was available too.

I figured they were stock colors but I wouldn't have bet money on it. It looks "girlie".. I guess because they're soft and not harsh like black and red would.
