Introducing: Serve with Honor

A full scale restoration, this original 1942 WLA took over a year to complete, from strip down to full restoration. A complete set of military issued documentation helped make the plan for disassembly and refinishing possible, with resources including the original issue O.D. Green military paint being sourced from the only remaining government approved source. The original project arrived in a civilianized form, having been found ‘in a barn’ in Garden Grove, California. Original engine numbers tracked the bike back to an April 1942 issue to the US War Department for deployment during WWII. Following it’s safe return, it cruised the streets of Los Angeles for over 60 years, remaining undercover (with a repainted black frame and civilian fenders). See more photos here.
