Toyman...Your Servi-car looked so nice I just thought that I'de toss mine up there with it to keep it company. We cant have the only servi's on the forum, there must be more of them lurking out there somewhere? I love servi's and I love their place in history and doubt I'll ever be without one. You got a heck of a deal on your, but I supose you know that...Rsh[/align][/align][/align]

Where did you find those rear tires? As much as I ride mine I'll need some someday.

I purchased my tireslocally but they can be had almost anywhere on the web through the various vintage suppliers. In no particular order I have provided you with some links and resources, the last three of which include some of the finer servi-pictures on the web as well as a popular servi-car devote site ... Although I justreceived this email tonight from Stephen of DL45Homepage so you may want to bookmark and pay his site a visit at a later date if its down, although I just checked it and it was up and running..."Just to let everyone know that my site is down for a couple of days for maintenance. Just let others know that this is temporary. Thanks, Stephen Gilbert [/align][/align]Also, a short but informative and entertaining article on Servi-cars by Herbert Wagner.[/align][/align]Hope this is of some help...Rsh.[/align][/align][/align]http://www.nosparts.com/[/align][/align]http://www.olddude.com/parts.htm[/align][/align]http://www.45partsdepot.com/index.php[/align][/align]http://aaok.com/index.html[/align][/align]http://www.antiquecyclesupply.com/[/align][/align]http://custombikes.startpagina.be/[/align][/align]http://thisoldbike.us/Links.htm[/align][/align]http://www.vtwinmfg.com/Catalog1/VTwinCatalogIndex1.htm[/align][/align]http://www.hd-shop-oldtimer.nl/english/index.html[/align][/align]http://www.jpcycles.com/[/align][/align]http://www.roadsters.com/harley/#Vintage[/align][/align]http://panhead.proboards1.com/index.cgi?board=WL_[/align][/align][/align][/align]http://www.dl45homepage.com/[/align][/align]http://www.aa-ok.com/HDGalleryServi.htm[/align][/align]http://www.sandiegohistory.org/colle...torcyclese.htm[/align][/align]
From No Respect To Prize Collectable
The Servi-Car

By Herbert Wagner
“I don’t get no respect!â€
[font="times new roman"][size=3]If the Servi-Car had a motto, that would be it. Harley-Davidson’s faithful old three-wheeler has long suffered from what might be called a Rodney Dangerfield or Barney Fife complex. We see it here on Chuck Westlake’s 1948 “GA†model (48G2462) with its fictional Mayberry Police Parking Enforcement graphics. While Barney was the bumbling deputy sheriff on the old Andy Griffith Show, who can’t picture him borrowing a cop Servi-Car and tooling around on some zany adventure?

Servi-Cars were never fast or flashy. That was part of their problem. And because a trike was something you rode as a kid and grew out of, there was very little machismo in this overgrown tricycle. For those reasons Servi-Cars never fit the biker image and never got much respect from the rest of the Harley-Davidson clan. Only in the antique motorcycle hobby has the Servi-Car risen from its former I don’t-get-no-respect status to today’s prized collectable.

From a hobby viewpoint the humble Servi-Car has several positive attributes. These include a unique perso
