OMG, Houseboat, that was my first bike!!!
 My father gave it to me for my 16th birthday. It was special because it was as old as I am (1946). LOL, that suicide shifter damn near killed me before I figured it out  I hope all goes well with the restoration.

Nice...my old landlord had a 63 BMW...it had an original leather saddle on it that was worth more than the bike itself. Forget the name of it. It has cable brakes...lol!!
Enjoy restoring that...I have a little 67 Harley Sprint "basketcase" sitting in boxes at my parents house in PA....one of these days... |

Rode the Indian today rebuilt the carb,new battery,got everything working but the generator.Tore the generator down it is a 6 volt 3 brush system.The brushes were broken and the armature looks like toast,so off for a rebuild on it,but was able to drive the bike a couple a miles today,without a hitch..

As far as my 1949 flathead Harley doing a rewire and rebuilding a few bushings in the front end.But this bike is pretty sweet..Some old timer told me the handlebars on it were worth about a thousand dollars,they called them Hollywoods,apparently they were a pretty limited production.Ill keep you posted.
