Hello Gentlemen,
Chad here in GA. I'm getting ready to get a bike again after many years. I've been in hot rod world working on my original 1932 Ford Roadster. I do all my own work aside from machining. The reason I say that is because I am looking for a project bike that is complete but needs work. 32 Ford parts are scarce and getting more expensive. Is it the same with these K model bikes? I don't see them a lot on eBay or elsewhere. I want a complete bike because I don't feel like chasing down rare parts, I just want to maintain and ride. I've never taken one of these apart so I wouldn't know what to look for anyway.
In the Early Ford world, there is a network of people and then there is the overpriced eBay route when looking for cars or parts. I can only assume it's the same with this era of Harley. So...... are the larger bike swaps the best place to find a bike or is it word of mouth? What should I expect to pay for something that's original but not a museum piece or a restored bike?
Thanks for your time and I hope to use the technical info in this site for my own bike this coming year.
Chad
