This very striking 1934 VLD was purchased from Steve Salcombe at VL Heaven. It was a project when purchased and the current owner restored it over the next few years to a good standard. Most of the parts were purchased from Steve and are ‘genuine’ where possible. As far as practicable, all original parts were stripped and repaired and restored. During the rebuild it was rebored with new pistons and rings and small-end bushes, reconditioned oil pump, new main bearings, new cam bushes, new tappet roller bearings, new valves and springs, and the valve seats were replaced with hardened ones for modern fuel, new sprockets, and chains. The carburettor was completely overhauled with many new parts, the transmission was completely stripped, and new parts where necessary were replaced. All the wheels were stripped, checked and repainted and new bearings and brake shoes. All the tinware and the frame was checked over and powder-coated, the list of the work carried out seems endless. The Harley has been enjoyed since completion and, recently tested by Alan Cathcart, has appeared in the June edition of The Classic Motorcycle. It comes with a current V5C.
