Default 1939 WL45 value??

Hello all... New to this forum (first post) and new back to the states (been in Europe for almost 20 years)
I have brought back my 1939 WL45, and was wondering what was the best resource for determining what it was worth if I was going to sell it.
Any suggestions?

Default RE: 1939 WL45 value??

I did a search on Walneck's Classic Cycle Trader from 1939 - 1941. Just plugged in harley w/no particular model, since there were several variations of the WL models. A couple came up, from a "restored" '42 WLA (it wasn't 'cause WLAs are military bikes), and a '39 WLDR. Prices were from about $15k - $22k.
