1948 Harley-Davidson Other

Description

1948 FL Harley-Davidson. Panhead. Matching numbers. This is the first year for the Panhead and last year for the Springer front end. Originally a foot clutch, hand shift, I converted to a Mouse-Trap with a foot shift. I worked for a local Harley Dealer for over 40 years and know the history of this bike from the beginning. It has been converted to a 12 volt system and Bendix carb. The heads have been extensively re-worked and set up to run un-leaded fuel, however I always run leaded hi-octane. I have been collecting parts over the years and many parts are NOS. Cylinders and pistons are standard, oil pump is new, cam cover is new and I used one of Tom Sifton's cams. It sounds great! I built this bike to ride but wanted it as period correct as I could get it.
This is my favorite of all my bikes, but has to go as well. Health has finally caught up with me and I don't want my family to have to deal with selling my stuff. Please watch for my other auctions as I'm cleaning out my garage. I've already sold many parts but still have some small stuff left.
Serious bids only. If you have a poor feedback record or none at all, don't bother bidding and wasting my time. If you don't have the money or Mom won't let you buy it, don't bid. If you can't pick it up, or make arrangements to have it shipped, don't bid.
I hate to see this one go, but I hate to see it just sitting too.
Sold as-is, where-is, with no expressed or implied warranty. But it is my personal bike and I've been building bikes for over 50 years.
No trades, cash in hand before the bike or paperwork goes away. Clean Harley-Davidson title, NOT a builders title.
