To old Harley experts, in reference to the pic in post 8. I see the toe shifter. It appears there's another foot lever behind it going into the primary. Is that a separate down shift lever?

Not sure there is any evidence Elvis ever rode this bike...he was constantly given stuff, that he would give it away...

Last bike Elvis was photographed on was a 1976 Liberator...

I’ve read that Elvis not only was an avid Harley rider, but that he frequently gave bikes to his friends so he’d have someone to ride with.

No, I wasn’t one of his friends.
