RE: Bike sizes
Gary, I just measured some bikes for your reference.

1915 HD twin w/ three speed (not including the sidecar):
Wheelbase (axel to axel) is roughly 60".
Weight 331 pounds.

Though I am not riding the following, this is for reference:

1912 HD single belt drive:
Wheelbase: 57"
Weight: 200 pounds

Both 1910 and 1911 singles are same wheelbase as 1912, but weigh about 190 pounds. I guess the rear freewheel hub is the difference.

Did you know that the 2-speed hub assy for 1914 when laced up in a wheel, with tire, weighs 49 pounds?!!! Matt Smith laced mine up for me and as I was carrying it to my truck, I thought it was heavy, so I weighed it when I got home. 49 POUNDS!
