DARVIN:

THE SINGLE PICTURE SHOWN IS NOT ENOUGH TO ALLOW A FULL EVALUATION OF WHAT YOU HAVE. HOWEVER, THE SHEET METAL LOOKS TO BE IN GOOD CONDITION AND THE LACK OF TANK DECALS
SUGGESTS IT HAS A REPAINT JOB.
THE TAIL LIGHT IS NOT CORRECT FOR THIS YEAR BIKE.
LOOK AT THE TELEGLIDE SHIELD AND SEE IF IT IS DEBOSSED WITH NUMBERS 125 (THE EARLY VERSION) OR TELEGLIDE LETTERING
WHICH CAME LATER THAT YEAR.

THE ENGINE NUMBER IS THE IMPORTANT ONE FOR ORDERING YOUR PARTS.
GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR RESTORATION.

Darvin,

Take a look at these -

Looks like you have a 1951 125cc generator model, one of about 5100 Harley says they made that year.

19" wheels would have been fitted.

Should that tail light be on a 1951? Thought there was supposed to be a bullet tail light on that year.

Might be useful to check out the speedometer pictures to see if yours looks like one of them - they are here:

Guess it is possible that yours has parts from a couple of years or that a later bike had a '51 motor installed...

Does anybody know what this bike is? What year and model? It says 51s 1931 on engine. Would like to know exactly what it is so I can buy the correct parts for it. Thank you very much
