He is gonna want to put that pogo back in...To keep from pissin blood

He is gonna want to put that pogo back in...To keep from pissin blood

He is looking for an orginal seat, orginal tanks (these are not 47 tanks - I think he said they are 46 or 48 tanks) and various fender trim pieces.  He says the transmission is out of a 41, but the motor is orginal to the bike.  The handlebars are not orginal stock either.  He has located someone who is somewhat of an expert on old HD's who has told him the 41 tranny is quite rare, and if he finds the right buyer, he should be able to buy a 47 tranny with lots left over - as the 41 is rare and valuable.  Apparently sometime this summer, there is a swap meet/auction in the Davenport Iowa area where he should be able to find about everything he needs.

Labor day weekend...It is known as the "Big One"  hundreds of acres of swap meet!  I wish him good luck, he should be able to swap out for what he needs.... 

To "restore" according to amca means to showroom condition!
