This is what the 53 looked like when I got it. I completely rebuilt the motor, it is 40 over. It runs great!

I like it. I am working on a 59 XLH and am curious what you did to the primary and cam covers. Thank you, Tom

They were painted with VHT header paint, but I have a 1967 XLH that I had powder coated which I like much better, more durable.
