hmmmm....never heard of anywhere like that. I'll ask around

 

I'd love to see that. there's a place on Long Island that has a great collection of bikes, but I can't say the name online.
Looks like you maybe got your answer from Road King.

 

Sorry Bud I cant remember the name of the place it is in Ravenna Ohio he has all kinds of parts and stuff.

 

If it is in Ravenna it would be Bear's which is a block west of Downtown.

He has a lot of older parts for sale and a very nice collection of vintage bikes.
He is also a very nice guy and will take time to answer questions or comments.

 

Why oh why oh why oh...

Did I ever leave Ohio?

 

Hey schu, sounds like a road trip !!

 

don't make any vehicle deals with bears.. he will screw you over in a heartbeat if you let him...the 41 knuckle hanging on the wall, the guy he got it from, i dated his daughter through highschool.. he traded an advertising business worth supposedly $50k for the knuckle.. the business ended up being one of those portable billboard signs on a trailer.. i was there talking to him about the bike one day, he offered me a 90 caprice station wagon for my fresh built 72 electraglide.. then i think he was offended that i didn't want to trade.. he also offered to paint my 01 EG.. $2700 for a single color, it would take at least 3 months to do it, then i would have to let the parts sit inside the house for another 3-6 months to cure before putting them on the bike.. that place is a lot better museum then place to actually buy anything

 

I keep asking myself why I stay here!
