Thought this day would never come, ut I'm selling my flathead, lain Jane, o move forward with other projects and rebuild my business. I've owned this rare, ast model year, 948 Harley UL motorcycle for many years, nd have ridden it from Florida all over the USA, ncluding trips to California, evada, hio, ew York, nd Sturgis. I've never had mechanical problems with it except a punctured innertube in Utah, nd a blown head gasket in Deadwood, outh Dakota (due to it having 45-inch head bolts instead of big twin). I replaced the head bolts, nd it has performed flawlessly, eing my daily rider. Plain Jane was photographed in Sturgis by Jeff Cochran, nd featured on the cover of Cycle Source magazine for the November 2008 issue.
