Did the cat from hunting harleys ever visit you? This vancouver bike seems very failiar. Was it kept it a back garage room for many years? Trying to figure this out, I have seen this bike before.
It was running when it was taken out of the garage, you charged the battery or used a battery charger to start it, ran fuel from a can and it fired right up and idled...Am I right?

 

Sorry, new to this. What was deleted?

 

Not sure what you're talking about... Hunting Harleys? That's a thing? The bike sits on a tender, my dad starts it up about once a month and takes it out for a run. He barely rides the thing, mostly rides his 08 FLHTC. It'll fire up no problem first try.
