"Hardtail Harley with springer forks, featuring some older custom styling and updates. It’s ready to ride, just needs a few small adjustments."

Description

The current owner is passionate about old bikes and bought this one around two years ago. It had already been modified with classic custom touches, including a deleted front mudguard, shortened rear mudguard, high-rise handlebars, a more modern headlight, and various other details. Although it hadn’t been ridden in many years, the engine turned over with good compression. The bike was reviewed and fixed and brought back to life, and re-registered in 2024.

It was ridden last summer and runs fine, though a few minor jobs remain. These include adjusting the front brake, possibly swapping the carburetor jets (a spare set is included), fine-tuning the carburetor, and replacing a few missing engine covers. The next owner can enjoy it as-is or take it further by restoring it closer to its original specification.

There is no available documentation to verify the bike's early history or origin.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    Reviewed last year, the bike received several essential replacements and upgrades, including a modern carburetor and fuel system, a newer ignition coil, a custom battery box, and a hand-made copper exhaust. It starts after a few kicks and runs well, with the engine, gearbox, and rear brake all in good working order. The front brake could use some adjustment.

    Whitewall tires add a classic touch to the solid wheels, and an extra set of carburetor jets is included for easy tuning. Newly registered and inspection-exempt for life, it’s ready to ride—just a few minor tweaks away from being fully dialed in.

  • Interior condition:

    Fitted with a newer seat in good condition

  • Exterior condition:

    The black and white paint has been resprayed at some point in the bike’s life. Overall, the paintwork presents well, though some paint chips are visible. The lower white section of the tank appears to have been hand-painted. The tank itself is in good condition, with a small dent underneath on the left side. Chrome tank trims are included but not yet fitted. There is some surface rust on the gearshift pedal mount.

  • General condition:

    A always sought-after 1940s Harley, with plenty of options for the next owner—enjoy it as it is, or take it back toward a more original look

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.

  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
