Dale Walksler finished this bike up in '95, but it was actually built 55 years past. Before Dale bought this bike in a basket, it was owned by George Shwim, an old H-D dealer from Illinois, who used to ride this bike to the track on Sundays, take off the headlight, race AMA Class C with it, then ride it home at the end of the day.
It's a '37 EL punched out to 68 ci., and whoever bobbed those fenders originally took a "just right" cut to each of them, and the proportions of the whole bike are, in my opinion, perfect. Don't you just love that exhaust?

ReplyDeleteNicely done bike! Looks very 40's "correct", but... A 62-64 Sportster muffler & the MT-53's (altough great looking) feels a little out of place.
