Sure. They didn't have the replacement engine ready right at the transition of ownership, so they had to build more shovels. If I recall, the problems were due to manufacturing processes rather than design faults.

 

I'm not looking for another.....But I saw this on my local craigslist and thought it was pretty cool

I'd like to have something from the 40's era military bikes. Like this...

 

OK,I see I had my head up my A$$ this morning,I was thinkin backwards,dreaming of summer got me screwed up.

 

An 05 wideglide... someday it will be vintage.

 

I would take the 1955

 

I had A 1969 sporty that i had for three years . Sold it for a down payment on a house in 1985 . Worst F'en idea I had ! Saving up for that same bike again .

 

I really dig the Knucklehead motors--probably my fave; but, I think I'd rather have one of the early Duo Glides ... pre-electric start, say from 58-63 a couple of examples below. (Like that 1960 Police!)

1966 shovel,first year, bigger valves, they rock!!
