1945 WL "45" - Bob 'em if you got 'em!!!


Got started on this little cutie a few weeks back. I've had her since 1987 and never did much with her... until now!

Popped off the top end and everything was new! 30 over pistons, new valves etc. Lower end felt great!

Dash from the stash... 

Figured out what those two holes in the rear fender were for... 
Gimme Back My Bullets!!!!


A little help in the garage doesn't hurt...

Popped a 16 on the rear with a Firestone ANS...

Some cool crusted saddle bag mount covers...

Running a period sealed beam, to go with the bobbed theme...
Gonna be Poetry in motion baby!!!
I've since put an 18 Firestone ANS on the front as well... 
more pictures on the way!
