  • U.S. Military M1030 Motorcycle Restoration Story
    U.S. Military M1030 Motorcycle Restoration Story By Allen Foley Part 1 Background Part 2 The Search Part 3 Mechanical Part 4 Electrical Part 5 Paint Part 6 Reassembly Part 7 Completion Part 1 - Background Like most of us we love mechanical things. At age seven I learned how to drive on 1955 Ford tractor during the summers spent on the family farm. As a young teen in the late 1960’s my dream was to buy a Rupp mini bike. But this dream turned into the classic case of “champagne tastes on a beer budget”. Then at age thirteen a neighbor was getting rid of a Bridgestone 90cc motorcycle. It didn’t run but was only $25. After getting it home and making some repairs and I was “Born to Be Wild”, (not really). That started my love of cars, trucks and motorcycles which still exists today. Over the years I have owned many rare, classic or show cars. I eventually gravitated to primarily collecting military vehicles. While military vehicles are fun, I got the urge to own a military two wheeler. Around the year 2005 there was a military Harley Davidson 45 WLA for sale listed in the local Craigslist. The seller had turned into a bobber and painted it flat black. I purchased it and restored it back to WWII specifications. The bike ran good, was easy to start but it really felt uncomfortable while riding. Between the suicide shift, so-so brakes, too much engine heat and the potential of coil overheating problems, it was time to “Let Go”.
