This is a 1943 Harley Davidson WLC.
It comes with the sidecar. I'll save this space with all of the stuff you can find online about the WLC. It was a WW2 military motorcycle built for Canada. Hence the C designation. There is a lot of cool stuff on the WLA and it's almost identical WLC online for you to look at. This 1943 WLC was converted tocivilian dress a long time ago when it arrived somehow in Alaska. The SIDECAR is period correct. With the rationing of steel during the war, Harley turned to Goulding for their manufacturing of sidecars. From the looks of all the mounts and knowing a little about Goulding there is a good chance this sidecar was mated to this bike the day it rolled off of the assembly line and went into service for the Canadian Military.
This Harley is still full of a ton of original equipment and could easily be painted back to olive drab green if what you want is an old war bike. I didn't. What I did want is what I always want. A one kick go anywhere rider. The bike also comes with a lot of hard to findoriginal accessories. Look at that back seat! It is awesome huh. Try and find one now. I also added an original foot operated scrub siren. Do not let the size fool you, it's screaming loud and will really get the neighbors mad if you use it in town.
Remember, these were actual sirens used on police bikes and they could be heard for blocks. All lights and speedometer work! It's truly a one kick wonder. BUT. If you have never owned anything like this please know, it is not at all like buying a fuel injected new motorcycle. You have to kick it. You have to choke it. You have to know how to advance and person the spark. You'll need to turn on the gas and shut it off afterward too. You willneed some basic antique vehicle knowledge. I say this just to be fair.
It's cool and it starts on one kick but I do not want to let anyone down if they have no idea how to ride one of these. It is a lot of fun but it does take some getting used to. But you do need to have some basic skills in this area or be willing to learn. Life is short and this is a fun lifestyle. The bike had a major going over this winter. I like stuff right. Everything down to the seat bushing has been tightened, replaced or greased. The battery is 6 volt and less than one year old. The upholstery is new. It's great if you love the two tone red/black. If not, change it back to black.Used 1943 Harley-Davidson W 50,000 miles

I have always cared for this bike.
It was always protected from the elements and has spent 99% of it's life in the garage. I usually get it out several times a summer, do a little maintenance and ride it for a while. The seat is big enough for two and it has two sets of foot pegs so occasionally the wife will hop on it with me. The bike weighs
under 200 pounds and it is actually pretty powerful. Top speed is supposed to be 55+ mph and supposedly it will get 70-85 miles per gallon! It is a great bike to have fun on, ride with a family member or teach your kid to ride. It is a great family bike. Over the years I have kept up maintenance on the bike.
A Kawasaki dealer installed a new piston and rings around 89'. It has probably only been ridden 500-750 miles since. Some of the other things I have done in the last 10-15 years are: tune up, new tires, new clutches, new OEM seat cover, gas tank has been coated and rust proofed, new petbird and new carburetor kit installed. I am sure I am forgetting some stuff, but I have just done
maintenance stuff each year to keep it going good. The parts are super cheap and easy to get, so that is another plus. I installed a new carburetor kit this summer and the bike runs well for about 15 minutes and then sputters.
The carburetor needs a slight adjustment, but I never got around to doing it. This is a two-stroke bike so it has plenty of power. I have been premixing for about 20 years now on the advice of a friend that is a mechanic, but the bike still has the oil injector if you want to use that instead. To make this bike a daily rider I would recommend fine tuning the carburetor, installing a new battery and checking the turn signals and taillights. I have never installed
a battery on the bike since I have owned it. I always rode it the way it is.
The headlight works, but without a battery I can't test the other lights. This is a very simple bike and very easy to work on. Anyone that is handy can have a great commuter bike that will last decades more! If you want a super nice vintage bike that the whole family can have fun on, this is the bike for you. If you have any questions at all, please let me know. I know your time is valuable, as well as mine and I will answer your questions honestly. It is a 42-year-old bike with only 4,000 miles and two owners! You won't find any like this.
