1936 RL #115 WL 45ci Flathead Bobber Bike Assembly rebuild 41 WLA Harley by tatro machine

bike was a 1929 Harley 45 flathead POS with a new style WL motor.
kept the 1929 fork and gas tanks. sold off all the other junk.
frame is a 1932-34 Harley RL frame modified to take the later 40's 45ci WL motor and 1935-52 star hub 16" wheel with a real drum brake. look up what they used before drums came out.
transmission is a 1939-40 style 2-bolt 3-speed.
foot clutch is the 30's style and the brake side is the 40's version.
handlebars are some VL RL leftover parts I welding together back in the early 80's.
the dual headlights are some 4" custom jobs I am going to make work.
this bike has been a very old project bike that I took over from the owner quite awhile ago and am going to get done this year.
the gas tanks with the custom oil and gas lines is the last big task to get done. the handlebars and headlights are next on the list. the rest is your normal stuff to get a bike rideable.
see as I go.
