Bob, are you and Mike going to bring a ride to Portland?

After a few fallen attempts through that time, I managed to locate a guy in Argentina who had one. Whereas he did not sell internationally he had a friend who did on Ebay. This guy (Raul) gave me a heads up right at the time he posted it so I could swoop in immediately and buy it. Then it was just 13 days of waiting until it arrived. It was a Kodak moment for sure!
I have it restored back to service ready condition. Many people say that they were black. There wasn't any black paint on this one or the one that came with the Glide. However, I have quite a few of the other models that have the red side light molded in them and there are some of those that are black.
Over time collecting Miller generators I managed to get the wheel guard and an array of parts. I had a wheel and the guard parkerized as that seemed the nearest to original.

What year is the bike ? Post some pics of the bike and what you're working on .
You could have a look in our Manuals Only section . Most manuals have parts breakdowns .
Here's a pic of my '57 . The pinion simply threads onto the crankshaft and should be pretty tight . I've never seen a specific torque listed for that .
