Yup.
1953, Original paint- probably the only one. Came out of an Ohio barn in the 80's.
there is a "restored" '53 in Florida in Glamour Green- But I don't know for sure it was originally that color.
The seat is the correct part number, but 80's manufacture, I have the original tires/wheels stored in my garage...winter apron kit some other stuff. Optional footshift for '53.
Everything inside the cases is new. Electronic ignition, 6 volt

not always- some riders ask why I don't paint it a nice color or get something chromed...( most of the brightwork is stainless) or etc.
my old BMW was like that too...some people asked me why i put BMW badges on my honda.
the only bike I have that always either gets a positive comment or completely ignored is the Trail 90.

Mike,
Not trying to hi-jack this thread, but that is a sweet '53!
Do you have a thread on it? Tried searching through your threads here to no avail.

I like that shade of green except for the ugly graphics. Not a big fan of single tone paint on a bike. Would prefer 2 tone such as Green/Silver or Green/Black.
The other green I liked was the CVO Street Glide and hard candy green metalflake on the Deluxe.
