1942 Harley-Davidson WLA Army Original for Sale

original 1942 Harley-Davidson WLA Army bike.

The bike is in amazing unrestored condition and still wears its original paint. I recently serviced the bike and got it running. I don't have much history on the bike but was informed by a knowledgeable WLA collector that the bike was most likely overseas and possibly in the Russian army judging by

the blue paint it once had over the original army green from the factory. The bike is original paint that has been reclaimed from under the blue paint believed to be sprayed by the Russian Army. I got the bike in this exact condition other than getting it running.

I am not a WLA expert but from what I can tell it is an extremely original bike with a few parts like the seat and carb that are not exactly WLA parts but are still some very nice and valuable pieces. I don't see anything repop on the bike and I don't believe the motor has ever been apart. Even the muffler and full exhaust system is original and in really good condition. The battery cover and speedo drive are the only things

I see missing. This bike also has the original service tag that matches the serial number on the motor! What's even more interesting is the delivery date on the tag of May 2nd 1942 which is the day the German army surrendered and the Battle of Berlin was won by the Allied Forces essentially ending the war.

What an amazing date in history to have attached to this amazing motorcycle. This bike would look great rolling on the beach this summer for the 75th anniversary of D-Day in Normandy, France. Don't miss your chance to buy a piece of real history here! The ID tag says delivery date of May 2nd 1945, not 1942 as previously written. Yes, I know the war didn ’t end in 1942, it ’s just a typo! Clean title.
