I remember that bike. It was in a bike shop in Georgia for quite awhile according to the ad on ebay. It is a beauty and has many of the hard to find, and correct parts for an electric model . . . Except for the super rare Remy unit.

[Chris Haynes]

Absolutely positively do not restore that machine.

Its yours to do what you want, and you probably paid a kings ransom, but thankfully you've allowed most of us to breath a sigh of relief.
Your a lucky man to be care taker of that old darling.

1918 j

do not find "usa" stamped anywhere.i'm thinking this was a recommissioned government issue bike. The inside of the headlight bucket has the same paint as the tanks and such so probably done after the remy generator was removed. or is this just an "older restoration".
anyway this paint job couldn't be cooler

What makes you think it was a military bike? Olive Green was the color of all 1918 H-D models.
