Gday Everyone, 

I came across this forum while diving deep into some research and figured I’d jump in. I recently picked up a 1926 Harley-Davidson Model B "Pup" at auction with the goal of restoring it back to its former glory.

The bike does run, though not particularly well. And from what I can tell, it seems to be mostly complete.

I’d be hugely grateful for any advice, resources, or links that could point me in the right direction. Specifically, anything related to servicing, parts (original or repro), manuals, or general knowledge that could help guide me through the restoration process.

I’ll admit, I’m pretty green when it comes to the early model Harleys. Most of my mechanical experience comes from growing up riding and maintaining dirt bikes. These days I ride a 2022 Breakout, and I’m also midway through restoring a Honda FL250 Odyssey, so the Model B will be my next big project once that’s wrapped up.

Keen to learn as much as I can, any help would be massively appreciated!

Cheers, 

Jabbsy
