Wondering if there are any mid 40's metal covered floorboards out there? Also the "accessory" board extenders. Reply Reply With Quote .

I a have pair of sheet metal floorboard covers that I assumed were original on my '42 WLA. In good condition except a dent from the clutch lever, no HD logo. Might consider a swap for something. Last edited by frichie68; 07-31-2012 at 06:23 PM. Reply Reply With Quote .

Geez, I don't really have a lot. Some 45 fork legs, carb parts, some early original spark plugs. Couple boxes of modern HD parts. Softtail RoadKIng take-offs. Wish I had more. Are you looking for anything in particular? I could send pictures if we hit on something.

First effort at posting a photo...dunno if it worked or not.
No idea what the floorboards are worth-except not much to me. I can tell you that riding with them in Colorado in slush and freezing rain is NOT fun.
The plugs sound interesting, are they the old take-apart type? How many?
Also have a WLA front fender, good condition-wrong paint. Speedometer, works but very dirty inside, original seat-good pan, bad leather. WLA muffler, dented, very little rust. Reply Reply With Quote .

Might be interested in the speedo and seat pan if you're looking to part. Got some trading stuff....depending on what you're into of course. Reply Reply With Quote .

Trying to post photos of the speedometer & seat, no success so far. Try again later.
The leather on the seat is better than I remembered, the leather strip to attach it to the pan is rotted away.

Looking for an engine guard/crash bar to fit a '35 VL, maybe you know somebody that knows somebody? Reply Reply With Quote .

Here are the plugs I mentioned (Champions). I thought they were the rebuild-able type but guess not. Hadn't looked at them in a while. Also a front fork leg from a 45.
Wish I had something else to offer ya. How 'bout an old 45 custom chopper frame seat & Iron Cross sissy bar off a 45 chopper (just kidding) Attached Thumbnails
