1948 Harley Davidson WL Sport Solo 45" 750cc
The 1948 Harley Davidson WL Flathead is a very original civilian model motorcycle. You don't often see a real WL that has not been customized are plagued with a bunch of mix match parts. This particular is one of the nicest ones i have seen come to the market. with not a lot of prior history was more than likely Restored probably sometime in the late 10 years. It has been in the present collectors collection for the last 5-6 years. This Motorcycle is mechanically sound as it was probably restored mechanically the same time it was done cosmetically. Don't miss out on this great motorcycle, as i said they don't come up very often.
Overview:
This 1948 Harley Davidson Panhead has lived most of its life in California and maintained in the current owners collection for the last few years in a climate controlled facility. This Harley 45 has been on static display for the last couple years. It was put away with fresh oil and fluids were drained from tank. To commission this again to running condition will probably only require a new battery and some gasoline. (We will be working on getting this running again to get videos).
