Patent Decal Help 1950 FL

#1

Post by tcb-1 »

Gang,

I am trying to decipher what oil tank patent decal my '50 FL is supposed to have. Bruce Palmer's doesn't go into much decal about the 1949-50 version, i.e. the amount of patent numbers on it, etc. Did the 49-50 version say "HYDRA GLIDE"?

Any help or pics would be greatly appreciated!!

Looks like 11 patents and no HYDRA GLIDE wording.

Now for the next question. Other than evilbay, where might I find a reproduction?

Penny for pound,

Decals are the most expensive motorcycle parts of all.
