Default Truly stunning

I rarely come across bikes that make me swoon nowadays, but in today's browsing, I came across this.

http://www.motoroso.com/collectionIt...=52cf054d706c4

I'm in love. Lots of other cool stuff on the site, too. Easy way to waste 15 minutes if you're looking to do that.

One of my other favorites, though not strictly Harleys (but plenty of them!).

Very nice, simple bike. Fairly retro, but with some subtle modern touches. I like the laid-back headlamp.

Nice bike but it's gonna ride like a brick, best to just keep pushing it in and out of the trailer for shows.

Default Flathead 1940

The caption says it is a flathead 1940...maybe the frame is but I don't believe that is a flathead motor.
It is, however, a beautiful bike.

I was scratching my head about that flathead as well.

Anyone able to get an ID on the motor from the first picture? I'm not as up on my visual IDs of a custom flathead as I should be.
