So I got it home on the trailer before the Tropical Storm Rains have begun here today. No great pictures outside other than the quick pick off the trailer on the way into the garage. Bike has so much original character. Cloth covered cables and wires. Clean speedo. Original Owner's manual. Supposed to be one owner acquired by my seller from a friend of the family up north. Sat in a basement for 30 years. He took it back to Florida and had his "Mechanic" go over the engine before disassembly and sent to his paint expert. Engine and wheels are not cleaned up. Needs a battery, fuel line (no gas clean tank) fuel line hookup, fork boots. Going to be fun.
Only downside is no title
but I know the Florida DMV ropes pretty good and believe I have the documentation to get a title without too. much effort.
Got many bonus items including the $100 Harley maintenance parts listing and specification book for 1950-1957 bikes.
And last but not least, those that asked what I paid, I paid fair market price for an original bike with professional paint work and a 1973 Orange Krate Stingray bike with rare rear disc brake that has a value of $2500-$6000 depending on who is buying it or selling it! Both are keepers for me.
