harley davidson frame project.

Seems like there's as good a chance the frame isn't a Harley..

Would be nice to firm that up a bit before dropping serious coin.

it is without a doubt harley, just look at this sites photos and compare the areas that i photoed to mine they are dead on. i also checke the frame for color to be sure. i just finished my car so i'm ready for the bike parts soon.

Here's photo of a H-D bicycle that we have in the Deeley Motorcycle Collection in Vancouver. Unfortunately it's a cosmetic rather than an accurate restoration however it does have the correct crank and head badge.

well here is some better picks. yes the badge holes do line up. the earlier photo will show that. i read in a brochure, that they did offer tanks on them in 1920. i haven't seen one but it also stated that they were all battery contained inside. anybody heard of one? or seen one? i have a 1920 elgin that has this type of tank with a swithch built in to it. this elgin used the harley paint scheme and the dayton truss and rims. did elgin use the leftover hd frames?
the phots are of the whole frame and front head tube showing a seamless construction there and an interesting array on markings on the hangar with a few clear hd color chips on it. the frame has been around the block with many colors some one painted it green over the hd color.

HD offered the tank for only the 1919 model. A different style frame than yours. It held a dry cell for the headlight.
