He rode the hell out of it, includingto Hollister in 1947. The second owner bought the bike in the early 60’s whenhis buddy transferred to the big house for life. This exquisite motorcycle was restored and bobbed as new in the middle 70’s.Built from the original and NOS parts and some 1976 period parts, this machinewas barely run, tail pipes are sparkly clean, points are brand new. The bikewas put into storage and forgotten about. Recently discovered (Jan 2016) the ELBobber was covered in dust and did not reveal itself and its immaculate beautyuntil the new owner got it home and cleaned it. WOW!... talk about barn find!

This machine is ready for new owner’s desire; polish and admire or fuel, oil,tune, and ride with the wind! Your choice. Sold on clear California title.
