1929 Henderson 4
“A blast to ride.. easy to steer and balance with its wide handlebars… and real comfortable at 50-55 mph.” That’s how the present owner of this Henderson describes the riding experience. Considered the “Cadillac” of motorcycles this 1929 model with its new for 1929 “Streamliner” styling was both stylish and fast, with a top speed of over 100 mph. Powered by a 5 main bearing 1301cc in-line 4 transmitting its power through a 3 speed gearbox controlled by a hand shifter and foot operated clutch this was an advanced
motorcycle for its era. Largely original the motorcycle was given sympathetic restoration in the early 1950s that made it mechanically reliable while leaving the majority of the motorcycle as original as possible.



1923 Harley-Davidson JD
Stored in an Oklahoma garage for many years this very original motorcycle will not be restored to show quality condition. The owner has decided to leave it as is cosmetically – doing just enough mechanical restoration to make it a running example of a rare early 1920s motorcycle. While the seat is new and the battery box is a reproduction the tail light, amp gauge and tank mounted tool box are period correct accessories. The exhaust is original as is the “clincher” style front wheel while the rear wheel appears to be from a later model 1929 Harley.
