Nice find! Are you going to put it back together and ride it!
Yes I’m oiling it now to keep the patina. And then I’m building it. It was running when he took it apart and crated it
Great find!! Looking forward to seeing all back together! Hope you post photos when finished.

Lucky, lucky you !! Sounds like it found a good home. Somebody said 90% of Harleys made are still on the road, and the other 10% made it where it was going.
So is it up and running yet .... come on fess up .... i could make molds for everything in the time you had to get it up & running....lol '-))))
