I bought an interesting bike with a interesting history to it.
first the number help me identify it
frame 1594-56
heads 67561-57
crank case 67xl b3485
I got this bike for my son, the story goes like this
In the start of the Vietnam conflict the Harley Davidson corp. sent several bikes in crates to be the escort bikes for the generals for the south Vietnamese Army, the little Vietnamese soldiers couldn't ride them because they were too small, so they were left crated and basically just left there, then a man named Nyguen pronounced wen. took the bike to his home and stored them there fearing for his life he hid the bike in a false room he built to hide the crates, then he was still arrested and sent to a reeducation camp for 9 years, his wife and family kept the appearance of the home up and the bikes were kept safe, several years later he decided to finally put the bikes together, he never really got them together, he eventually sold the bikes to an American who had brought them to the states who them put them together and that's how I got this one for my son. It has chrome fenders and 8.3 miles it is going to be restored to original but I need help. I can email or text pics.
wrong cylinder numbers they are 16581-57
wrong frame number 1584-56 this is just a number I found by the neck its not stamped it is raised and the one looks like it might be a 1
