Default Newbie needs info
Hello, I'm new to Harley's. I recently restored a 1970 Triumph TR6 last year and I'm bored so my uncle found me a mid 1930 VL model with a side car that I'm going to restore. My question is where do I start? Are there any good books I can get about model history? For my Triumph I got a workshop manual and parts manual, can I get the same for Harlye's? I will have a lot of help for the resto from my uncle and his freinds but I would like to get some literature about this bike. I don't have any details on the bike yet. Hoepfully I'll have those in the next few days.

Thanks for you help

Peter
