Saw a post on a Ford website about a motorcyle display at the Ronald Regan Library in Simi Valley, CA. Antiques, moviebikes (Catwoman), etc. Looks like a nice display. Info:

Hey Steve, That Henderson looks pretty good in white, kinda reminds me of that nice white Ace from Jersey. Was white an available Hen colour? BB

I was there yesterday. Most of the bikes appear to be from the Urban Hirsch collection. A few from The Peterson Museum and a few others from private parties. A real mix of foreign and domestic machines from 1903-2010.

What does the 1903 Harley look like?

Barry, I've never seen optional colors listed for Henderson in Schwinn factory literature until the 1928 models were released. These colors were listed in a factory dealer bulletin. However, as you know, we've seen photos of the big motorcycle shows where manufacturers' displays often featured a white motorcycle. I've seen some of these photos in the trade magazines circa 1920 of Hendersons and Indians. I would assume these bikes were for sale so they surely were out there. I've seen several Ks restored in white and they look pretty sharp.

I have never seen any OP Hen sheet metal in white.
