Harley-Davidson WL Restoration Wall Hanging

Hi

I have previously mentioned that I am busy with a man cave wall hanging for the vintage Harley.  This is what the wall hanging will look like - it is 1,200mm long and 650 mm wide and should be around 80 mm deep.


The left side of the wall hanging tells the story of the use of the 4,500 Harley-Davidson's used by the South African Union Defence Forces in the East Africa, Madagascar and North Africa Campaign of World War 2.

This is followed by the high-lights of the restoration process.

I then want to mount a number of the new old stock (NOS) part packaging in the area that does not have any photo's or text that will look something like this.
 


This morning I stopped at a print shop to have the A0 sheet printed and it came out beautifully!  I took a couple of pictures of what the end product should look like .

  1. Hello Jacques !
    I just noticed your blog: wow !!!! What a beauty and what a great job to publish all the history and the details of your restoration: THANK YOU SO MUCH for all your work which is very, very intersting for me !!!
    I own a rolling barn find chassis of a 1941WL and I am looking for a engine (or just the cases) with correct VIN: do you have this stuff for sale or do you know somebody offering ?
    Furthermore: I do not find any information about the engine numbers of the 2 batches of 1941 WL which were delieverd to South Africa... Even the new Palmer book does not mention this information.
    I just got an offer for a 1941 bottom end with correct VIN 41WL5099: do you know if this engine might match to my 1941WL (long fork "centered")?
    Thanks for help !!!
    If you would like to get some pictures of my chassis please send an email to: mail(at)winicker-lieber.de

    With kind greetings from Germany
