A wonderful project, in preparation for the upcoming; "The Race Of Gentlemen"! To pass the "TROG" test I would prefer to see it with its original wheels, sprung girder forks, original fuel tank with its hand-change gate and lever, foot clutch, low and wide original handlebars, headlamp, etc just like all the other "45s" in the race! I've watched most of the TROG races on KZbin since they first began, especially the races in Wildwood, New Jersey, (the best location for it!). The 1930s Side Valve WL45, is one of my favourite, vintage Harley-Davidson Vee-Twins, after the 1920s Harley Model JDs, IOE, (Inlet Over Exhaust). I will be watching this rebuild very closely...trust me...get it right (original)!...LOL...! Take care all, and be SAFE!...from England!....😉....😉....!

Springer= Harley. Girder= Indian. We knew what you meant, just sayin'.

[@Roolis77]

Your bike styles inspire me most ! Thanks

[@Kevin-cy9cv]

Looking good, I think you're right about the seat springs, they look long, one bump you could be in orbit......

[@bagelroman]

that AR tire hoodie is fire

[@podthewelder]

Stop signs? what stop signs

[@CaptainJacksIsland]

If you can't do a California Stop in California, then where can you? 😁

[@arthurleino]

Nice looking bike!

[@bzvr]

feels nice to be this early

[@johnnywelder]

Have your XR buddy watch how to start an XR the procedure is easy and it starts every time 😊😊

[@calvinnoah6372]

most of what i do with motorcycles is fix what other people have already crapped up

[@kalashinikovchop250]

Looks cool, but is it fast?(for a flathead)

[@davidhuckstep9703]

Love the video

[@micheallinderman481]

Put the half tanks back on!!!

[@Seaniesean111]

Keep the tires as is and go with Green. Use the same colour as your pants

[@justinreedflynn]

Don't you know green 45's are BAD LUCK?!? You know, 'cause of all the G.I.'s that died riding "army green" 45's in the wars...

[@ЕвлампийГадский]

Nice! Hi from Sibiria! - 30C!

[@douglas9607]

How's about the gray and yellow of your banner. with Mazi/Moto lettering. Keep it in the family, so to speak. thanks for your vid. I like wathcing friends together.

[@larskristiansen9158]

Dragon-green best green

[@calvinnoah6372]

Nooo, dont chuck it up in the mill. all those old soft necks are all egg shaped. 70's sporty taper bearing neck cups are correct for the 45. use dremel tool to clean it and then round it till the cups will hammer in tight. dont make junk

[@CaptainJacksIsland]

Ah, dang. I'm kinda sad to see the Mr Horny name go away. It was a distinguished name, perfect for a gentleman's race.... and maybe even a gentleman's club 🧐
