The Ugly Duck - "45"


When I get done rebuilding a motor, I like to sit and stare at all the hard work I just did . . . but, the poor Harley 45s only get a few minutes.  Built as a workhorse - not a showroom beauty.  Not for sales - For a purpose.  The Harley 45 - The forgotten one for years and years.  Nobody cared.  "Hey, for $200 you can have the whole bike . . . just get it out of here."  What goes around comes around - The 45 may just get the last laugh.

The 2014 Eagle River World's Championship Snowmobile Derby WINNER

Malcolm Chartier won for the 2nd year in a row on his Ski Doo.
His sled was tuned by previous 2 time winner Mike Houle.

Indian Larry

Many times when I'm working on a part (custom or stock, doesn't matter) I think about Indian Larry.  There's usually only about 2 ways to do-it-right.  All the other ways are cobbled - and only work for right now.  If it's done correctly - you don't have to take it apart ever again.  Larry's motorcycles will be around a long time since they're done right.  Customs built to run hard.  Just enough modern technology to accent performance.  Larry is the guy I credit to bring back the old-time chopper. His motorcycles will forever mark the style of that era. 

D.S.

The same group of Death Squad Riders passed me about 10 times on I-90 across South Dakota.  They rode like hell . . . but, stopped a lot. Ride Hard - Ride Short, says Peter Egan.

25T

A 25 tooth will fit with a jockey top.  
Will it fit with a ratchet top?

1981 Sportster XLH Engine FOR SALE

This motor was stripped to the bare cases, blasted, washed, painted (PJ1), flywheels & rods rebuilt and trued.  Solid factory spec'd crankshaft assembly.  Cylinders blasted, bored - new pistons ( I believe .010 or .020 over).  Gear case all checked out.  Needs transmission and heads.  We might have a set of heads & rockers we could get for you?  Sell as is or if you get us a transmission, we can finish it up for you.  No reasonable offers refused. I think other parts with it too. Built by Noot Sr. 

Update:  You get a good, tested Hitachi starter, clutch basket and other parts included. 

Carb bracket for safety and stability
