haha, elle n'est pas récente la belle
Il y a une histoire sympa derrière cette photo... la curiosité et un peu de chance m'ont amené à contacter un certain caveman1 ... Un dingue de Harley, une encyclopédie sur le sujet.
Depuis, il est devenu Randy. Un gars super sympa, même hors Deviant Art... Comme quoi

One thing that you have to know for sure on the identification of any Harley-Davidson is-- is it "100% production stock"?
Little add ons or deletions can change identification a great deal-
This was job was made easy by the front fender "1919" year tag.
It indeed looks to be a 1919 Harley-Davidson. It could be a Model "J" or a model "F". They are closely related.
The gas-operated headlight on this model was probably a dealership add on because the motorcycle does not appear to have an electrical system. If it did have an electrical system- it would be a model "JA" or "JB"
At any rate- it's a 61 cubic inch V-Twin engine. (The best that I remember- that would be about a 1,000 cc.)
It's probably a 3-speed transmission with a foot clutch and a tank gear shift.
The total production numbers for 1919 is showing: 24,292.
This website helped a lot on this one. techsweb.us/hdvin1019.html
(scroll down to the 1919 year and options.)

thank you very much !
It seems to be very well restored, but i'm not specialist.
I've seen on your gallery that you have a huge collection of these beauties...
Can you identify the model ?

I'm not an expert on Bikes, but my friend Randy has the Harley Group here on DA. Here is a link to his user page on DA, he would be happy to tell you anything you'd like to know about this bike.

It was a job made pretty easy- by the year on the front fender.
That narrows it down a lot.

Yeah, I thought that would help,lol. But I thought he'd want more info than that, and it was a great shot and he had some other cool shots too, so I thought you might want them for the group.
