In Response To: Re: Confederate Motorcycles? ()

David,
Ironically, Harley-Davidson, a company that issued dress code rules banning any Confederate battleflag images at their York, Pennsylvania Assembly Plant in the 1990s, issued in 1977, a complete line of Confederate themed motorcycles. You could get Sportsters, Super Glides, and even a loaded (FLH) Electra Glide with a very light bluish grey metallic paint job and gas tank and front fender emblems that displayed battleflags, crossed sabers, and officers sleeve braid in the form of factory applied decals. There weren't a lot of them, 524 between all three models. As a guy that has restored the sheet metal and painted hundreds of antique restoration Harley-Davidsons, I've never had the good fortune to get to apply those decals on anything. They gotta be worth a pile. IF you could locate any of them. I've only seen a couple of the originals. I have, however, custom painted quite a number of Confederate themed motorcycles.
