Hey guys just a new guy that wants to say hi. Iam posting a picture of a 1942 45 that I finished about 8 months ago. I found this as a basket case andrebuilt it myself. I did all the paint body everything but the motor and trans. Iactually ride it here in town.I dont get on the highway becauseit does only 55 and that is a challenge. Besided the trucks scare the hell out me.

 

sweet bike. Nicely done

 

Welcome; you should be very proud of that 42.

Clean machine.I especially like the color.Jeez, I feel like putting mine out for big trash day,after seeingyour bike.

 

That's really nice and a '42 WL is a real keeper. They didn't make a lot compared to the WLA.

 

Is it a WL or WLD? Either way, like Oldtimer sed, it's a pretty rare beast. I show 142 WLs and 133 WLDs were made in '42.

 

The engine number will probably tell you. 'Course that only works if it's the original engine or the old one was sent in to the factory for exchange. They used to send out exchange engines with the same numbers as the one you sent in.

 

Ron anytime you want to part company with yours you let me know!

 

Nice job on your 45. Get it out on a long straight stretch. It should do about 70 mph. I guess it depends on your gearing.
