1942 Harley-Davidson Restored Custom Bobber
Great Show Bike and it Runs as well as it looks
1942 HARLEY-DAVIDSON FLATHEAD 45. # 42WLA69679. I like this bike. It's just fun to look at. I took this bike in on consignment and almost sold it.
From the first day I wanted to add this bike to my collection. I had it advertised and I had a almost buyer. The buyer needed about $2,000.00 to have the money to buy it. I called Rob and told him I had a possible buyer but I really wanted to buy and keep the bike for myself. I asked Rob what he could do on the price as it was more then I wanted to pay. Rob gave me a price brake so I bought the bike. The other end of the story I never heard from the possible buyer.
This bike would look great in anyones garage but even better in an office or the company's foyer. The look and the workmanship are outstanding. This is how 50's bikes where set up in the early 50's. They were called Bobbers and Squirrel bikes. Clean and simple. It's set up to ride. Check out all the info below.
