Harley-Davidson WL750 1954 (S29) with Rikuo Engine Swap, 24,362km, Shiga

This is a 1954 (Showa 29) Harley-Davidson WL750 with 24,362 km on the odometer, being sold from Otsu, Shiga. The original engine has been swapped for a Rikuo unit (confirmed by the engine number). The bike currently does not start; the seller notes it did run at intake but was smoking and leaking oil, and it should be considered a restoration base. There is an oil leak present, visible in photos. The vehicle has various scratches, rust, and general wear consistent with its age, though the seller describes it as still presentable for a bike this old. Additional issues may exist beyond what is noted. Documents included are the vehicle inspection certificate (shaken, valid through R9.1) and a transfer certificate. As a largely unmaintained vehicle, it cannot legally be ridden away even with valid shaken; it must be picked up on a flatbed/loading vehicle with tie-downs.

Seller states the bike currently will not start, has an oil leak, and shows scratches, rust, and wear consistent with its age; buyers are encouraged to inspect in person.

Shipping: Free delivery is offered within a defined range of nearby prefectures from Otsu, Shiga (taking 1-3 weeks), otherwise the buyer must arrange transport via a carrier such as Redline at their own cost and expense. Direct pickup is also welcomed, but the buyer must bring a loading vehicle plus ropes/tie-downs since the bike cannot be ridden away.
