        When I first looked at this photo I thought the gas and oil tank had a wild psychedelic paint job which would seem very out of place for a picture taken in the mid 50's. 50's custom paint was usually abstract, but carefully defined geometric shapes bordered with pinstripes. However, within about 3 seconds I realized that those are shadows of the handlebars. What's interesting is, the photo was lit with multiple light sources which implies that this was a staged photo but a professional photographer would never position the light souces to cast shadows like that. Is this a Pohlman photo Chris?

          My mistake,this would have to be a mid fifties photo,John was in college until 1957 and did not join Harley until 1960.

            It is indeed Willie G. and brother John at the fairgrounds on their new one off factory customs.
