my friend had one in the mid 70's and while pulling a U turn he snapped the goose neck wide open on the bottom, then wrapped black tape around it and drove it home ...

Yep... the "flop". Bike got like 3" taller in the seat with the bars straight. If you let it flop, you were fighting 500 pounds to turn the bars straight again.
Looked good tho

Here is the CL info:

1930 Harley Davidson - $6800 (Seabeck)
This is a very rare bike. The Harley Davidson Model 45 DL was designed
in direct response to the Indian Scout 45 from a couple of years
earlier. This particular motorcycle was the reason behind the myth of
the "3 Cylinder Harley", which was the (snotty) nickname that Indian
riders gave to this first run of 45 cube V twin Harleys.
The 1929 was the first model year, but had serious mechanical flaws,
resulting in a 100% factory recall. The recalled bikes were given 1930
engine upgrades. The first DLs re-used a frame from the 30 ci (500 cc)
single cylinder bike, which left no room for the generator. To make
room, the generator was mounted on end, parallel with the front
cylinder, just to the left side of the frame. While it worked, it wore
out the gearing quickly, resulting in the least reliable part of the
otherwise sound engine design.
The DL model was replaced with a roomier frame, and conventional
generator in 1933. These first two years also had the unique feature
of twin, side by side, "bullet" headlamps - which never caught on and
were often replaced with a headlamp from one of the larger 74 cube
bikes. This is why the original twin lamps are as rare as stock
split-window Corvette Stingrays from 1963.
Displacement: 45 ci, (or 750 ccs)
Odometer: N/A
Condition: Unrestored. It is literally a "barn bike", and has been
since it was taken as a trade in by the co-owner of "Town and Country
Suzuki" in Fullerton CA in the early seventies. It has been in storage
ever since, waiting for a frame-up restoration.
Fuel: low-octane (or better) gasoline. The lubrication system is
"total loss" so it requires regular additions of oil to the oil tank,
which accounts for roughly half of the "fuel" tank.
Paint color: There is some of the original olive drab and red paint
on the tank. The frame has minimal paint on it.
Title status: Literally, a California "pink" slip, from a time
earlier than the 1960s.
Transmission: Original 3 speed, with "jockey shift" on the left side
of the fuel tank.
General condition: Roughly 85 percent complete. Sheet metal
components are not present, but reproductions are now available. All
rotating components spin freely. There is rust on most steel pieces,
but there are no rust-throughs.
