I did extensive research to find the history on these motorcycles.
This one, as far as I know, is the only restored Red Dragon Honda 450 in the United States! I purchased this bike about 8 years ago. When I went to work on it, I noticed there was red paint underneath the black paint. I sanded down every spot on the bike down to the originalred paint. (I have many photographs and videos) I even found original red paint underneath the bottom steering race when I removed the races and bearings. I initially thought that the CB450 may have come in all 4 colors that Honda provided in the 1960s: Black, red, white, and blue.But that was not the case.
I found that the US market had only black bombers, the European market had a mix of black and red, white was only for the police CB450 models, and blue was never produced by the HONDA factory. I have a factory Honda parts manual for police and black bomber CB450's and they only came in 3 colors: white, black, and scarlet red. once I establish that honda actually made red ones I disassemblethe entire motorcycle for restoration. All parts removed from this bike were either repainted, re-chromed, polished replaced with OEM parts or refurbished. This was a long restoration project.
I never intended to have this bike for sale, it was for my personal collection.Used 1966 Honda CB 5 miles, Black

1940 Harley-Davidson EL knucklehead motorcycle for sale.
Matching original 1940 knucklehead cases with nice original VIN. Has original 5 fin cylinders and small port heads, I think one is a '39 and the other is '36/'37. Has on old repair on the left case that looks solid and could be dressed up and probably not noticeable, but thankfully does
not affect the VIN like so many broken short rib cases had. I have not tried to start the bike and have left it as I found it. Nice looking bike from back in the day, but not all original. Looks like a very nice later 1940s frame that appears to be uncut! I do have an old chrome original beehive taillight housing i'll include with the sale.
Would be a good bike for someone to get an affordable pre-war knucklehead that you can work on as you ride it and find all the correct parts for over the years. Has a rare springer rod stabilizer I was tempted to rob for my other bike.

I bought the Indian Chief from Butch Baer (son of the first Indian dealer) in 2013.
It was converted to 12 volts and restored when I bought it. I bought the bike to ride, so I installed a shift kit to convert it to left-hand shift/right-hand throttle like a modern bike and I added some LED bulbs to make the tail and brake lights brighter. I
have the original parts and will include those in the sale. One photo shows the bike with the original right-hand jockey-shifter installed. It can be converted back in about an hour.
