I was looking at old Honda CT 70s/90s/110s, but decided I really needed a car lift, more than a motorcycle. I would like one to putter around the subdivision I live in. Those can all be registered to drive on the street. Sure, I'd rather have an Indian...but truth be told, I'd rather have the lift to work on my '46.
Well you got the lift, Now you can work toward a pair of wheels. I have a CT 90 and two for parts. Like most of what I have it doesn't work right now has leak in the tank. They are tough little critters.
This Kodak color slide photo was taken in 1949 by one of two Motor Maids in the Mojave Desert, California. The first photo in our Glenrio, TX post two days ago was taken by the same Motor Maids. They had uniforms then. We can't tell you the exact location, but the Joshua trees give you a bit of a clue. The Motor Maids were—and still are—one of the earliest and longest‑running women’s motorcycle organizations in North America, founded in 1940 and formally chartered by the AMA in 1941. They were not a nickname for a few riders; they were (and remain) a full national club of women motorcyclists.

Those struts would sure remove some weight from the Ironhead, but they kinda make my back hurt looking at em.
Haha I guess it’s like the old saying goes “we sacrifice comfort for style” Or like you said weight reduction, notice the rear wheel was changed to an aluminum rim as well, I’d guess he was cutting weight. This is how we got the Sportster from the guy who’s dad bought it new Florida 1965
