Description

Basics....It is a correct 1937 frame, lthough frames in 37 had no serial numbers. It's a three finger rake. Nothing has been cut from the frame. All the original tabs are there, ncluding the ones for side car mounts. The engine has maybe a thousand miles on it since it was built by Paul Friebus (American Cycle Fabrication). Holder of Bonneville Land Speed record with a 1937 flathead at 180 mph. Here's a link americancyclefab . com/ Cost of the engine/trans rebuild alone, as over $6,000. This bike will run 75 mph all day, hich is pretty outstanding for a bike that couldn't go over 50 mph when it was new from the factory. Most of the bike is correct original, ut I have made a few changes that are to my taste. Like, he tombstone tail light is not correct. 1937 had a bullet tail light. The footboards are 40's half moons. 1937 had long rectangular boards. These are just my preferences in style. The bike has Coker tires on the 18 inch stainless rims and spokes. The electrics have been upgraded from 6 volt to 12 volt, ith a Cycle Electronics generator that has the built in solid state regulator (no more shorted points or batteries puking acid). The Linkert carb is from Paul's race bike and is nickel plated. I do have the original forward engine guard, hich I do not care for. I've owned this bike since 2002 and have been through every piece of it. It's all done, nless you want to change the appearance to your own taste. If I did not have the issues with my back, I would ride it coast to coast without giving it a second thought. If you have any specific questions about the bike, et me know. Everything that was ever done to this bike was done with no cost spared. I still don't want to sell it, ut I can't ride it anymore, nd it would be a disgrace to let it sit in a garage until I'm gone. Ride it to the show, ust remember, ou'll need to tie the trophy down on the luggage rack.
