            Dear Philippe, you are automatically a member of the European Chapter at no cost. Send me your Email address and I'll add you to the circulation list. Don't forget our International Meet 24/25 May 2019 at the American Motorcycle Museum in Raalte, NL. Our theme is four cylinder bikes and we plan to have a bunch of them and a mighty crank-up, oh yes!

                Just had this conversation somewhere on a forum. I suspect you want a troxel eagle. I had a Mike Hanlon ( Mike's a friend) seat and they are good but I bought what I feel was an even better quality one from the vendor in the corner of the horse coral at the AMCA meet in New Smyrna Beach a year ago. The stamping was gorgeous. Going on my 11 HD.

                      hello
                      I have a question regarding the chain for the HD 1912 single
                      is it a "skip tooth" chain or a block chain type ?
                      by the way do you know the lenght?
                      thanks
                      philippe

                        Bonjour Phillipps.
                        That's a nice collection of American Iron. Send some pictures when You can swing it. I have almost completed my 1923 H.D.JD Board Track.
                        Take care,
