![]() ![]() It is all there and I am confident it can be made to run. Of course we have won the local Vintage Bike Show with it. I have never tried to crank this Motorcycle as I have plenty to ride and bought this one for my collection only to display and look at it. I bought this bike just as it is from a gentleman a few years ago he had known of and been involved with the restoration when it was done. I am willing to let this one go to fund other projects as I am lucky enough to have another of the 65. This is a very nice 1933 RLDE 45 cubic inch Flathead. The front and rear brakes work properly. Some features of the bike include:Aluminum high compression headsPistons tops are cast with “Made in the USA”Zenith Bendix 38mm Carburetor “Made in the USA” with custom manifoldNew spark plugsNew Drag Specialties vintage style 6 volt batteryNew 6 volt generator “Made in the USA”New chrome voltage regulatorPaugcho 10” extended springer chrome front endCustom made chrome Z bars mounted on 3” risersChrome open header dual exhaustCustom Z themed tank paint with matching fenders, primary and chain guardChrome tank mounted shifterChrome clutch pedal assembl圜hrome air cleaner assembl圜hrome foot boards 18” mini drum brake front wheelOriginal 16” rear wheel and drum brake assembly with chromed rim, spokes and hubVintage style 5.10-16 Chen Shin rear tireCustom dash panel with keyed ignition, toggle switches and indicator lampsNew chrome brake/tail light & license plate mountNew solo saddle seat with original plunger post Clean California title as a 1959 Harley Davidson1959 engine with matching belly number cases1949 original Harley Davidson Solo 45 framePlenty of paperwork with receipts and repair & parts manuals $8000 or best offer Delivery available, if you come buy the bike first All of the lights and switches work properly. ![]() The clutch works properly with limited slippage. The 3 speed transmission shifts positively and quietly. It even starts on the first kick when warm. The open header exhaust sounds very healthy and the engine has no funny noises. The bike starts right up, runs, revs and idles very well. The bike was then displayed for a few years until I bought it from his daughter Mary. This 45 inch flat head engine has great compression and is very powerful. As a final tribute to Ted, his family and friends gathered together to fire up the bike for the first time but it was never ridden that day. Unfortunately, just as the bike was being completed in December 2008, Ted passed away. Ted was a master machinist, engine builder and the first NHRA driver in the 7’s. It even rides well if you dare! A suicide shifter, foot operated clutch, 10” extended springer front end and Z bars will bring a whole different perspective to the rider up to the challenge. The bike was built by NHRA champion Ted Cyr. It features matching belly number cases and high compression aluminum heads. The 1959 flat head engine was fully rebuilt in 2000 and has only a few hours on it. This unique bike always attracts a lot of attention.
