Justin, that's great you found a frame, glad you're moving forward.

Thanks for the motor I’ve collected all the missing parts for it.

16 j harley.jpg You are on your way, Justin, and the frame is a big hurdle, and the foundation for everything else. As your needs arise, I can help you with a few parts I still have from my '16, but I did let a lot of my '15, and '16 parts go away. I think it would be wise to accept, and integrate parts from '15 and later Js that will help your project progress. You can always sell incongruous vintage J parts (always a big market) when you find the correct '16 parts to replace them. I think it is fantastic that a motivated enthusiast, like yourself can still find Harley-Davidson parts that are 108 years old, so I'm pulling for you and hope that this continues to be a fun, and rewarding project for you.

The picture is of my '16 (taken from the roof of my shop) in 2006. I went everywhere to find those parts, and when I look at this picture I can remember who and where I got many of those parts from. Enjoy the process, and journey, and make sure you document everything because you will get the most pleasure from that personal effort.

Congratulations, Justin. Beautiful '16 frame. I found my '16 frame at the first Jefferson meet many years ago. That was a huge weight off my shoulders when I found that rare collection of rusted tubing

Thank you. Nice machine you have. I couldn’t believe when this turned up in a Barn here in Canada. Now it seems I will be able to build a complete bike.
