One of the best looking motorcycles, a classic.

I have a 1945 and love that old bike, it's a glorified lawn mower engine and in the manual regarding tightening head bolts says to get them tight "unless" you have a torque wrench then tighten to 65ftlbs lol

Very tastefully done without all the added bumpers and goofy covers that some guys put on.

Hey Buzz, I'm trying to get that look with the bigger tires on my WLC, what size can i get to make them look beefier or are people changing the wheel size ? Thanks Craig

Modern bikes are nice and all but show me one in 80yrs that is still running and can get on the highway.

Great googly moogly! Ah, but do you know what tht little hole in the fin is really for, and why it is not used on a restored bnike (hint, I know Buzz does...)
