1962 Harley Davidson Scat
>
(Before and After)
The 1962 Harley Davidson Scat was a hybrid model motorcycle designed both for on-road and off-road riding. Introduced in 1962 along with the pacer and the ranger, the scat’s pacer-inspired design incorporated the pacer’s 175cc b-model engine in place of Harley Davidson’s 165cc Super-10. To increase its flexibility, the Scat had street-legal off-road tires, softer springs, and high handlebars. The scat also incorporated a higher front fender than the ranger and had a scrambler-style higher mounted exhaust. The scat offered the ranger’s extra-low final-drive ratio as an option. All around, the 1962 Harley Davidson Scat was a great-looking bike designed to suit a mix of requirements.
This particular 1962 Harley Davidson Scat was sent to us by an old customer from Donie, Texas. This is how it looked when we got it (before). The fenders were also pretty bad. We gave it a new lease on life.
