I have decided to sell off my Harley 45” Flathead race bike to fund some other projects. This bike is pieced together from parts that I acquired from friends, swap meets, Craig’s List, E-bay, etc. First and foremost, I DON’T have a title for the bike or motor. It has an “assigned” VIN number stamped into the VIN pad, which appears to have been done many years ago. The 14H number plates are not included with the sale and will be removed. Engine: In assembling the motor, I used a lot of performance parts from Paul Friebus at American Cycle Fabrication (ACF), Bloomsburg, PA. Surplus/replacement cases with matching 1945 belly numbers (45-2610). As previously stated, the left case has an “assigned” VIN number stamped into it. The VIN boss has not been ground down. OEM WR flywheels and connecting rods trued and balanced by ACF. OEM cylinders and pistons are .010 over. The cylinders have been ported, relieved, and oversize valves installed, along with WR/Knucklehead intake nipples also by ACF. OEM aluminum heads decked, relieved, and clearance for the oversize valves. No broken, cracked, or chipped fins anywhere on the heads or cylinders. Linkert M53A1 carburetor rebuilt with rubber ducky float and 4 bolt WR intake manifold installed. Snap throttle also installed. Friebus C grind cam set installed. Four vein oil pump upgrade. Fairbanks Morse-HD magneto. Inline oil filter installed on return line from Marty at USA Racing. Dual exhaust. Transmission: The Harley 3-speed trans was NOS before I installed it in this bike. Date code F-3. Everything works as it should and it still has most of its original OD green paint remaining. Later style shift drum was installed. Frame: The frame is nice and uncut, with the only modification being the tabs that I welded to the top of the seat post casting for the solo seat pivot. It could easily be removed if the buyer wanted to run a pogo seat. It has a #4 hallmark on the neck casting. Palmer’s book dates it 1942. General: 19” front and 16” rear star hub wheels with Firestone ANS tires. The rear wheel has bead screws installed. OEM Harley springer fork with 7/8” stem and big twin rockers (servi-car). The front leg has a #20 hallmark. Note: the front leg has a very slight bend in the right tube. I have run this fork on several different bikes with no problems, but I wanted to make it known (see pic). Original Flanders parts: #8 handlebars (stamped on the underside), 4 0 risers (stamped), and inline top clamp. OEM tanks are 47-50 WL. Shift gate is from a servi-car. OEM bobbed, 3-piece, wide brace rear fender, which I believe is 46-48. Leather Bates style solo seat (possibly Selli?) and genuine Bates leather fender pad. WR foot pegs and clutch pedal attached to OEM straps. The rear brake is Harley WL. The bike starts easy and runs really well. It was run at “The Race of Gentlemen” last October at Pismo Beach, CA. It will make somebody a great C-class or TROG racer, or you could get a title and put electrics on it to make it street legal.See it run on Youtube: https://youtu.be/-OTbf2oVaHk Please call (no text) 570-956-111eight or email hutchjr7@hotmail dot com with any questions.
