    that is not correct. the wagner frame neck had to accept three frame tubes ,unlike the harley neck, which only had two frame tubes attached to it.

      Jerrasic,
      Have you ever looked and an early H-D frame? They all have the lug for the third frame tube on them.
      Here is what may be a 1908. It clearly shows the unused leg for the third tube.

          A tapered sidecar mount? This neck was used 1905-1908. You think the boys were thinking about a sidecar when they built their first machine? In "Harley-Davidson, an Official Eighty Year History" author David Wright says that H-D first produced sidecars in 1914. There is an undated photo of a very early H-D with a wicker chair sidecar in "At the Creation", page 89.
          It may not be the same as the Wagner. But it was purchased from someone.
