This beautifully restored Harley sidecar is claimed to run and drive perfect, and it looks fantastic.

The Model J introduced a lot of first for Harley. In 1915 it got what was advertised as the “most powerful motorcycle light system” available, a new electrical system that incorporated the headlight, taillight, horn, and ignition with a generator. 1917 was the first year you could order a bike that wasn’t Renault Grey (though that’s what is on this bike, anyway) – you could also get a polished version of the Olive Green seen on HD’s military bikes. 1917 also brought a new engine, called the New Master, which yielded a 45% increase in power up to 16 horses. Original MSRP was around $310. Unfortunately, the seller doesn’t give much information on his/her bike besides saying it was restored by a Harley specialist and that it would be a great vintage rally bike. Can’t deny the latter!
