I guess what im looking for is a bit more info and help on what I actually have/what a guy shoud do. Do I try to contact Harley, and who would that even be? Do I.....??? I dont know guys, as I have never had anything this rare.

Any info/comments would be helpful!
thanks!
Why not talk to your buddy since he has already been down this road?

I have tried, and will continue to try, as he is one of them "out of towners" that are always on the go, and he has my number and I dont have his....either way to awnser you: I am and will be, but just trying to get as much info as possible and I thought this forum would be a good bet

I would find someone who thinks it's worth a bunch of money, and sell it to him for a deal

I started this thread to reach out to some of you who might have more info then I, and help me get through the mess that is finding real facts about this model.
Im not here to get into the drama of what is fact and fiction as viewed in what makes an "original", I am simply trying to get to a point that I can speak intellegently about what I have an dwhat it means to the history of HD and motorcycles.
That's the problem with this, and most other internet message boards - you have to weed through the morons to get anything of substance. But it does exist on here, that's why I still frequent the place, you just gotta look.

Looks like you got a few good leads. I'd also suggest getting ahold of one of that guys at the National Motorcycle Museum, or Dale and his guys at Wheels Through Time in North Carolina (although they're moving) and Chris Maida or Buzz Kanter of Classic American Iron magazine and website and message board. All these places have websites and contact info.

I work as a spotter for an Australian muscle car and motorcycle exporter. Sometimes I run into older bikes we might be interested in, but don't know that much about. I use the internet. And sometimes, it takes a while, but I get most of the information I need eventually. Sometimes that leads to message board posts, emails and the occasional phone call.

Good luck.

It may be rare, but it's not beautiful.
