Harley WLC, the hunt is over!

[Rillette]

Hi to all forum members, my name is François-Xavier Dutoy and I live in Montréal. I have been regularly visiting the forum for at least a year, but somehow I was sort of waiting to actually find the vehicle I was looking for to start posting. Well I now have. Last week I bought a Harley-Davidson 42WLC restoration project. I had been looking for about a year to find a WLC and I was starting to think that I’d finally have to turn to Holland, Belgium or the UK to find one when this bike came along last fall. It took all this time to work something out with the seller but it’s now mine. It’s far from complete, but at least it still carries some of it’s original military trim. So the hunt is over, but the search is just starting. If anyone has spare parts, manuals, original period photos I would be very interested. I’m not planning to have it restored in record time, but I will try to post some pictures as progress goes. Here are two pictures of the bike as found.
