1929 Harley-Davidson, JDH 2 cam "cut down", Bobber... only 100 made in 1928 & 29

You are looking at a 1929 JDH 2 cam "cut down." (bobber these days). This bike has been a cut dow, I believe, bout 80 years. There were only 100 of these Harley-Davidson motorcycles made in 1928 and 29. The 1929 crash and depression was on it's way and these Harleys were about 200 bucks more expensive so they didn't sell well. Better for us, guess. It has 3 speeds and original rear stand and new chain, prockets and clutch. A couple sets of points and some rear brake lining goes with this Harley.I got invited to the 2012Canon ballrun but our house caught fire and I had to rebuild it, o couldn't go. Mypreparation for the canonball was to completely rebuild the transmission which was done by Steve Lipoldt, ebuild the generator, ith nos parts, one at Harbor Vintage in Vermont and to get the original coil rewound with, et this, 500 feet of .0015 wire. New plug wires. These bikes had dual headlights as new but this one only has one with original taillight. It's been painted black & white for a very long time. It has two extra taillights I added to the rear. Can't have too much light back there. It has the rectangular dash, ot the triangle dash with ammeter as some had. This 1929 was the second year of the front brake. With these old front brakes the bike went faster when it was pulled ;-).It now has a 1968 BSA double leading shoe front brake that stops great. Both wheels and tires are 400/18" Dunlop K70s (C pic). which handle and ride great. This bike is very nimble handling. The handlebars and spirals are re-manufactured with all new inner and outer cables. The grips are just tape like riders did back then. This machine has been completely rewired. It has switch and fuse on the ground wire for fast shutoff if needed, here is no speedo but there's no more that 600 miles on the motor and only about 100 miles on the other rebuilt items.This Harley is for sale on 3 other sites, urope. plus locally so this auction may end without notice so if ya want or need a very very rare old museum piece or a daily rider, id...ahnobody hasta tell ya that.
