1947 Harley Davidson Ul Board Track Motorcycle, Milwaukee Iron Custom Bike on 2040-motos

One of a kind Milwaukee Iron Board Track Racer, the last bike built with Gary Woodford before his untimely death in 2005. Built for the Discovery Channel series "Southern Steel" with Mikwaukee Iron owner Randy Simpson and myself. This truely unique bike is the only one ever built with a generator style motor. This one has a completely stock  rebuilt 1947 UL, 74 inch flathead motor. The motor was completely rebuilt to OEM specs including a stock bore and finish by the expert flathead builders at Harbor Vintage Motor Co in Jonesville VT. The driveline is a Linkert carburated 74" UL Flathead and a 1936-1964 style foot shift operated 4 speed transmission. The engine and transmission are connected by a Rivera Primo Classic belt drive with a pro model clutch. The final drive is a Diamond XLO o-ring style lube free chain.

Every piece on the bike is custom made, one off with large amounts of polished stainless steel and aluminum billet. Stopping power is supplied by HHI 4 piston calipers and custom 21" front and rear wheels with Avon Venom tires. The electonics are housed in a combination oil tank / electrical box. This is an easy kick start and seamlessly shifting driveline combination. Electric is supplied by a V-Twin 17 amp compact chrome alternator and a Big Boar 300 amp battery.

Pictures don't do the bike justice and it draws a crowd where ever it goes. The bike is flawless and show no signs of wear, The tank and fender are finished in BC/CC urethane black and red with gold striping. All the other colored parts are gloss black powdercoat. The custom made seat pan was expertly covered in hand dyed leather by Roberti. Lastly let me tell you this bike is down right fun to ride and is one heck of a conversation peice. I have a clean registration in hand as NYS doesn't use titles for vehicles older than 1972.
