Parts for a 1924 JE model Harley Davidson including frame, forks, wheel, hub, 2x 1200cc barrels, flywheels, crank cases,chain cover, ignition coil (photographed separately) partial battery box cover, front and rear mudguards, oil pump, cages and various other smaller engine parts.
The frame is still in reasonably good condition with its grease and mud covering helping to protect the metal from severe rust.
This is either an excellent starter kit for someone looking to build an early Harley Davidson or would be great spares for someone.
This collection was sold on ebay in October, 2014.
Kevin ran a 26 J model Harley Davidson since the 1980s and had built up a strong collection of spare parts including an entire second engine. We carefully collected all of these together to create this incredible motorcycle restoration project which included:
1200cc JD engine with generator/distributor
gearbox
Frame
Forks
handlebars
Spoked wheels with hubs and spare rim
Complete petrol tank with caps and oil pump
Carburettor
ignition coil
main switch box parts
2 mudguards and stays (1 x unrestored, 1 x under restoration and spare rear flap)
This 1928 OHV Harley Davidson 350cc was a project bike that was almost fully restored by Kevin. He collected and carefully restored its components over many years. It has only recently been put together for viewing purposes in order to show what a magnificent motorcycle it was going to be.
The 1928BA was closely related to the racing single of the day known as a Peashooter and these too have come to be called “Peashooters”. They were sold by Harley Davidson as a speedy road bike to rival the sales of the Indian Prince at the time. Closely related to the Harley side valve ‘Pup’, the OHV version is a much rarer and faster beast.
This particular bike has matching crank-cases but has not had its engine and gearbox rebuilt yet. It was sold with the main components for these in seperate crates along with various other parts (please be aware that the carburettor displayed in the parts photographs was not included in this package as a much better one was located and attached to the bike as shown).
As can be seen, this bike has most of the difficult to locate parts already such as the switch box, front and rear stands, chromed tank plate, battery box, mudguards (fenders) and stays, ignition coil, generator, front and rear lights. It requires very few items to finish it off and most of them, such as the exhaust, are easily purchased. Some further restoration work will be required – sticky tape on the tail light is not a good look!
Note that there is also a 1926 Peashooter model in this collection. The two bikes look great together!

This particular bike is close to the racing form, built to run with a Bosch FF1 magneto (included) and as a result is much leaner looking than its 1928 brother on this site. It has no lights or switchbox and is year accurate with its nickling and handlebars – someone wanting to make this even sportier will probably fit the racing style handlebars of the period.

Note that there is also a 1928 Harley OHV single model in this collection which was sold seperately. The two of them look wonderful together!
