^^^ Where's the shift lever on that thing?

 

haha..I’m half ashamed to say, it’s on the other side..yeah, with the brake pedal.
I had this running tr7 engine on the workbench so I tossed it in this bike until I rebuild the 650.. times are tuff but I gotta keep moving

 

The mural is making me remember it's about suppertime.

 

At the Harley Museum today

 

Single cylinder flathead?? I’ve never seen that

 

It's a 1930 500cc

 

Very neat, thanks for sharing.
Am I seeing a muffler on top of the muffler with some crossover tubes between them?

 

I can't figure the exhaust out either.

 

If you look at the top "muffler" you can see a sort of fishtail end. I cannot see the bottom "muffler" end. I do see two crossover tubes so I would make the assumption that the bottom tube transfers to the top tube and exits there. Keep in mind that we are talking about 1929/30 technology here.
I think that I have more pictures so let me dig deeper for a definitive answer. Good eye guys.

 

Okay, I checked, and both chambers have exits, so I guess that it was to make the exhaust exit more rapidly.
It a Harley 1930, Model 30 C.

 

That board track museum exhibit up there maybe ain't too realistic. You can see splinters in the old photos.

 

1941 Indian 4 cyl.

 

1942 BSA Military 500 single.

 

1915 Cyclone board racer.

 

Were any of you bike guys here over on the old Jockey Journal years ago? I still miss that site.
