    Looking for recommendations on good resourses for servi-cars. Either contacts or books, or both! Thanks.

    Genuine H-D Service Manual, Parts Catalog, and Riders Handbook.
    I just picked up a 1961-1971 Parts Catalog and a 1971-1973 Suppliment.
    eBay is a good place to find them.

      Thanks Chris. I just bought a 1933 Servi-car in orig paint. It is still burried in the barn. It is gonna take a few weeks with a tractor moving stuff out of the way to get it out. I don't know a thing about them, and wouldn't mind doing some reading!

          The early Servi-Cars are fascinating, but extremely difficult to find bits for. Hopefully yours is fairly complete. Johnny Sells book is the best source of DL/RL info.
          And go here...

            Thanks Rub! I'll check it out. I believe it is fairly complete. I'll post some pictures once it is dug out.

              The 1933 is a very rare bike. Bruce Linsday restored a 1933 a few years ago and had it at Oley. I have a few photos that I will post if I can find them

                  Nice find! I too can't wait to see pictures of it. Make sure you take photos of it BEFORE you move it to give it that "barn find" look. When I got my bike, Sorry to say; I waited to take pics of it until I got home. Shame... now all I have are memories of it stashed in that trailer along with Ford Flathead engines and other "junk". Then again, it was BEFORE digital cameras and we still used film so we didn't take as many pics back in those days.

                    I'll take photos when we dig it out. I already tried with my phone camera, but the flash is very poor. I will bring my good camera next time.

                      Can't wait to see close ups of the original tank paint. I plan on repainting my 33 and would like to see an original.
