Darn tootin!

We're got it in the bag thanks to Lonnie and Lonnie, Sr. However, as one mystery is now solved, the other remaining early H-D mystery becomes even more tantalyzing and profound!

[jurassic]

so when can we expect a rough outline of what you have discovered?

[jurassic]

original battery box

[c.o.]

It shows that machine has seen some care over the years to be in such good shape. It's always nice to hear the stories behind these old bikes. With Herb on the case it looks like we'll have another tale to ponder. I'm glad your posting this stuff Lonnie......from this far away I'm learning something with each picture!

Harley

Looks like I have a seat similar to the 1905. Anyone need one?I need a troxel seat for the 11' Yale, anyone have a seat to swap?one that fits on a 7/8 seat post, the one I have fits a smaller diameter post, as it is an early one.This seat is not too great, has a decent tear near the nose, but overall good on an original display bike or maybe a rider?let me know.

toolbox

alot of the parts on the florida bike were stored in this bad ass old tool box along with these strange tools

[Rubone]

Those look like instrument tuning tools to me, piano,harp, something along those lines.
Maybe a previous owner was an instrument tuner?

I was going to say they were the tools of an alien examiner of human . . . . nether regions.

Yeah, isn't that battery box a gem? The bracket looks like bronze and is rather a work of art in itself. I wonder if that was something the boys made or if that was an off-the-shelf item? Earl is good on stuff like that.

Yep, whoever owned that bike took good care of it. Must have had extreme sentimental value to him.

You can't get any warmer than that!

Lonnie, if Rub is right, then I've just upped my theory results to 100% correct!
