Two listings describe 1941 Harley-Davidson WLA motorcycles that come from military service and are later civilianized. Both accounts say each bike becomes part of the Mike Quinn Collection of Harley-Davidsons, and that the current owner purchases the machine in 2014, with the seller offering it “at no reserve” on the owner’s behalf. Each motorcycle is described as using a 45ci flathead V-twin engine coupled to a hand-shifted three-speed transmission. The listings also match on several core features, including the hardtail frame and valanced fenders, along with suspension and handling components such as a springer fork and steering damper. Both mention similar fuel and exhaust setups, including a Linkert carburetor and a two-into-one exhaust system with a fishtail muffler. Differences appear in cosmetic and some specification details: one bike is finished in black with a Buddy Seat and 16-inch wire-spoke wheels, while the other is finished in yellow with a post-sprung solo saddle and 18-inch wire-spoke wheels. Both listings state the motorcycles have clean Texas titles in the owner’s name.
