Cool picture! I never knew there was one of these. Although when I first saw this, I thought there was going to be a picture of a UPS or Fed Ex truck bringing you some Harley goodies

Back in the 70s my brother in law had a service car trike 45 flt head and eventually cut it in half and married a sportster front section with the motor to it. It really was a shame. However, it was pretty fast and did look good. I have no idea what happened to it.

An old riding buddy of mine has one of these. I believe its a 1947. The frame looks just like a regular sidecar frame only its a little wider.

That's one that isn't in the Harley museum! We did see a Harley postal delivery cycle, however.
