Hummer parts For Sale

[exhummernut]

Hello there fellow Harley Hummer enthusiasts ! I was into Hummers for over 25 years and was involved in reviving this club back in the '90's. And even though I sold off my Hummer parts and bikes a decade ago I do have a couple boxes of the 'NFS' (not for sale) parts that I had retained for my remaining two bikes. There are hundreds of small parts and some bigger stuff. I have taken photos of all of it and will forward to interested parties upon request. 30 + pictures.I estimate there to be at least $3,500 worth of parts I would like to sell these parts as one package deal. I also have over 20 original Hummer dealer brochures. And I have tons of parts and service manuals, some NOS and even a few HD factory photos as well.
Please contact Travis at travis.harleyhummernut@gmail.com or call 719-641-6484

You guys and all the other members are most welcome. It was a very fun 25 years of my life sharing Hummer parts and hundreds of bikes all over the world. Back then it was guys my age re-living their childhoods but I am very happy now to see a younger generation taking up the baton and keeping our beloved Hummers alive ! I have fond memories of cutting and pasting ( real scissors and glue stick ) stories and pictures , collating, folding, sticking on address labels and licking stamps for years before I moved to the Colorado forest !
Cheers,
Travis

Travis, if it wasn't for volunteers like you a number of things would have ceased to exist. I envy the youth of today as there seems to be 'Apps' for everything. I also remember the days of Dave telling me his stories of putting the Club and the newsletter together... after running his ad for hummer parts in Hemming Motor News... and getting a few responses (where I saw it). With Dave being Dave that wasn't good enough. He wanted parts and info about this strange 2 stroke M/C he'd found. Dealers at that time even denied these things existed. It was as if H-D wanted them to go away. Dave doesn't like it when people tell him to go away. His starting the club was a way to work around the blockade. At the time everyone (and me... #97) who joined were looking for the same parts so it stalled a bit. Slowly but surely the members filled in the puzzle pieces each required. Some even found H-D Dealers that had N.O.S parts left on their shelfs that H-D MADE them purchase* You stepped in when needed and kept this Club alive. I had the easy part... laying Membership checks on my bed, logging them... by hand on a spread sheet (back then called a list. Windows 3.1 had come about and I had no clue as to how to understand it), and mailing them to Dave. I didn't envy either one of you as doing this I knew that, if my small involvement affected my then busy life, that it must have affected the two of you even more. Kudos to you and a MAJOR Thank You. You made what exists now until Dave found himself back to Hummerland.
Thank you.

* My local H-D Dealer was established in 1928(?) in Bound Brook, NJ. It was known as Williams H-D. I found myself owning a 1968 H-D Café Racer that had been modified (my first Harley... other than the lightweight I bought when I was teenager). One day I needed parts and off-handedly mentioned I had a 'Hummer' in my basement and asked if he had any parts for it. Otto Williams asked if I had parts numbers for what I needed. He was 'old' at the time and didn't blow me off. Naturally I didn't as I, like others, didn't have the info we have today. He pulled a catalog out from under the counter and asked me the serial number of the motor. I said '48S something and he told me I didn't have a Hummer, I had a Model 125S... and educated me as to the different model designations. Through the years I was able to purchase things through him as I found the need... but he never sold me more than I needed. "I might have other customers' was always his reply. AND, the great thing he did was sell me the parts at what the sticker price was that he'd placed on it when it was put on the shelf! If it sat for 10/20 years I still got it at that price!
The original asterisk regarded H-D requiring dealers to purchase was based on the factory need to keep funds flowing. According to Otto, Dealers were required to purchase items they already had on their shelves. It was the Dealers responsibility to move them through 'sales' or repairs.
How are these parts still available when 'stashes' are discovered? I think Otto Williams explained it to me well. Travis, Mutt, Duane, and many others have mined these sources well. Dave got H-D and the AMCA to re-recognize these lightweights. Dean Hummer and Priscilla became well recognized... and loved it.
Yes, these are little bikes... but history recognizes what it will.

Many thanks guys for all you have done to grow this great club. Thanks Travis for the parts and the race bike I purchased from you over the years.

Hi Brent,
sorry for the delay in responding. We have been having some internet issues out here..............again! Thanks to the snow and ice!
Anyway, thanks for your great post ;>) It was a very different time in all our lives and in the country. I have really missed all the m/c events we all used to attend but the last few years have been difficult for some of us that are getting as old as dirt. ;>) But the Hummer newsletter was a rerally fun and dynamic time for me and it was also the best investment I could have made ................... and it was by accident ! I just fell in love with the Hummers and all the rest is history. When I started running out of parts and couldn't find any more inventories to buy I sold off what I had left and invested it into a couple of Nimubus' from Denmark and that started an all new chapter in my life ! But I still have a couple of race Hummers and a couple boxes of parts that I feel a need to pass along to the next generation of enthusiast ! Thanks for all you did in the early days and all that you still do ! It is appreciated greatly !
Take care Man,
Travis
