Here are a couple of photos of a project I picked up a month ago.
It's a 1920s Harley J model boardtrack/roadrace replica. 1921 J model pocket valve 1000cc motor in a 27 JD frame. It has a 3 speed tank shift transmission with an early clutch setup. Has a real braced boardtrack fork, 28" clincher race wheels, and period Firestone racing tires. Wide boardtrack bars with internal throttle and spark advance. This one has brakes, as it's styled after the bikes used in endurance road races of the time. These were distance races run from city to city over public roads in the States and Europe. Should be pretty cool when it's finished!
