Description

Here is a rare piece that we have listed on consignment. It is a rare 1960 Harley Topper Scooter with a title. Most people don't even know that Harley made a scooter. This particular scooter is in excellent condition.

Here is the information from the consigner:

Toppers were made in Milwaukee Wisconsin between 1960 and 1965. There were approximately 6000 made.

Scooters made after the midway point of 1960 had a lot of changes from the Toppers made early on in 1960. This Topper is one of the rare ones made in early 1960. The later Toppers had a longer crank shaft, wet clutch, ey switch on the handle bars, bigger carburetor, nd decals instead of badges.

This particular Topper was purchased from a gentleman in Kansas that had started the restoration. He basically had torn it completely down and was in the process of reassembly. He got as far as assembling the engine, ut everything else was in pieces. During the restoration, he gentleman went through a divorce and his ex-wife did something with the box containing the clutch guard, lutch flange belt, nd a lot of small parts.

It took the consigner two years to locate the aluminum clutch cover and the outer clutch sleeve. The clutch cover came from Chicago and the outer clutch sleeve was NOS out of Vermont. Anything with a dry clutch is hard to find.

The consigner has never started the motor since the rebuild so there are no miles on this scooter since the rebuild. This is a show quality restoration on a rare scooter.The only flaw that I am aware of is there is a small chipon the corner of the cover on the right side next to the gas pedal. It is shown in the photos.

The consigner, ay, an be reached at 816-630-2691 between 9 AM and 10 PM. He will answer questions regarding the scooter, ut not the auction itself. This auction will not be ended early and it will sell to the highest bidder.

The remainder must be paid by a bank check or cash before pickup.If payment is made by bank check, hen it must clear prior to pickup.This will be a local pickup only auction.
