My objective with the restoration is to get back to 100% original with the Harley-Davidson looking like the day that it came out of the factory.
I spoke to Doepie this week and he mentioned that the 3-brush 6V generator is 100% original, but that the regulator is an after-market regulator. In trawling through eBay I came across a NOS 3-brush Delco-Remy 6V regulator. It should arrive in South Africa in about 3 weeks time.
The headlight glass lense has been broken and I also came across a Cycle-Ray lense on eBay.
Lastly, the wiring on the bike has been replaced with new, plastic-coated wiring. Uglyeee! I came across a NOS coil to distributor wire on eBay. And yes, it is only one wire, but this wire is very visible on the bike. As for the rest, I'll use a replica cloth-covered wiring loom that looks identical to the factory original.
