I got this off the net. Being a Harley clone, a lot of parts might work which would simplify restoration.
Wartime History
The main motorcycle used by the Imperial Japanese Army was built by Sankyo, and later Rikuo (Kurogane). This motorcycle was a licence built copy of the 1937 American Harley-Davidson, with only minor changes. Powered by V-twin cyl, 1196cc air cooled driving 3 speed gear box and reverse chain drive. Many were supplied with side cars, which can be fitted with a light machine gun.
Tricycles
Popular in civilian life for transport, the Army also adopted motorcycle tricycles, known as Sanrinsha that used a variety of motorcycles, including the Type 97.
