I bought most of my parts from 45 Restoration Company. They had the best prices, selection and fast shipping. \\; Also used 45 Parts Depo (Flatland Motorcycles) and the following eBay Stores sell WLA Repop parts. ALso I check Ebay frequently for used, NOS parts, found some great deals.

I have \\;the Bruce Palmer \\;restoration guide as well as the Conner Data \\;Book \\;and went to look up some info for you to maybe help you out with factory colors, number of bikes produced, ect... for your bike but couldn't find anything.
 \\;
Not to be a smart *** or anything, but who told you you have a 52 WLA?
 \\;
The last year of the WLA was 1951 according to all the books I have. Only 1 was produced in '51.
 \\;
My books still show a WL in 52, but I seem to remember hearing that they were just leftover 1951 models.
 \\;
Your engine serial number has the model right in it, mine is 39UL1855, model year 1939, model UL, number 1855 built.

Maybe I am wrong, and if I am, you should contact Rick Conner so further editions of his book, Harley Davidson Data Book, can be corrected.
