Help and Flathead parts needed :)
Hello from Greece!
I have recently acquired the remnants of a '31 VL, and would like to start a long task of restoring the bike to its original condition with all original parts.
As you will see from the attached photo, quite a lot of work is needed and I would thus like to ask for any of you who have worked on flatheads previously, to please contribute any useful information (including restoration tips, part sourcing, etc)
I am quite realistic and know that restoration will probably take years, but a good headstart is all I need!
Thank you all in advance,
John

John-
Nice rare find.. For New Old stock parts, www.jwboon.com
And there is a VL specialist over your way, Steve @ www.VLheaven.com that's all he does..
I think Steve may have Manual for your project as well..
Keep me posted, I always enjoy knowing another Hd has been rescued....

When this company was in previous owner it was good source of flathead parts, now it's owned by S&S

They were manufacturing flathead parts from better materials and with CNC machines.
