I can understand exactly what you did, only I did the same thing in a spare bedroom in my house. Rode my "self built" 45 for 8 years without a problem.The MOST DEPENDABLE bike I ever had bar none. Very easy to work on (not high tech at all) and surprisingly parts are still readily available. WELL DONE!!

@snoman003 You're right, need only so much passion, thx for your comment

this is GREAT..i build one and used oem parts and did not clean any parts up bolted as found, took a few years to find all the parts ..but it is a Hell of a bike it does 70 mph with .20 over pistons,stock M88 carb, & high copress. Heads and magneto. the frame on my 45 is CHROME plated from the 1960s when it was a chopper i deraked it and painted it flat black, anyway i love your WLA most dependable machine in the world!

Beautiful restoration and a tremendous labor of love! I usually don't like music in videos, but this song was cool. Congrats on a great job! Ride with pride!

@Magirusn I played your vid for my son(now 18), Explained exactly what was going on and what was being done. Kinda funny but any one who has built a basket case knows exactly what was done just looking at the pics. He remembers my bike only vaguely but he knows how much work I put into it and how much I loved it. I called it my "stress management device" cause when I was riding nothing else mattered...Surprising how clear things get when you have nothing but the sound of the bike and the wind.

@40HDmine Lots of parts are still available...HD45 restoration Co, Indian Joe Martin, Joe Sarafan, Ect.

My old 45 never once failed to start over 8 years! Rain, snow (yea I didn`t put it away till remembrance day Nov 11th,Ontario) weather didn`t matter, It was "bulletproof". Got the itch again...looking for another "Harley puzzle" (basket case) to build. Loved the "45" however given the scarcity of these bikes, this time I think I will be looking for a "big twin" prob an old Pan or Shovelhead.
