47EL for sale on ebay

#1

Old motorcycles are worth whatever someone will pay
Price seems high, would be surprised if it sells.

Extremely nice, running 99% original 1947 EL knucklehead. All original except wiring harness, muffler and seat. Correct Linkert carb, speedo, taillight, CP bolts and nuts. 
Everything works as it is supposed to, lights, horn, brakes. I have lots of pics, ask questions. 
I also have an original buddy seat with correct springs, #3 spark plugs, correct 47 spotlights, Kingsize saddlebags with lots of patina . These items are not included and are extra. Also, if interested I have correct 1943-47 reproduction Loctite saddlebags with studs and rosettes and a matching seat that look fabulous on this bike.

Pretty sure that one has been offered on eBay before with no sale. Nice bike but too rich for my blood.

I wonder if that is someone's interpretation of a Utility package (metal foot boards, black wheels, oil lines, timer cover, trans plug etc.) or if that is the way it might have rolled out of the factory.?. Pretty sure even the economy package would have come with an air cleaner.

The metal footboards and black wheels are correct for early '47 production. But without a pic of the VIN who knows when it was built.
