Harley-Davidson Knucklehead - Eighty Years

Motorcycle technology lagged far behind automotive technology since the earliest days of the internal-combustion engine. All that changed in 1936 when Harley-Davidson introduced the Model EL. For the first time ever, a company was manufacturing a high-performance overhead-valve engine for the masses.

And what an engine it was - in addition to bringing state-of-the-art technology to the motorcycling world - a work of art. Because of the shape of its rocker covers, the engine was given a nickname to match its looks: the Knucklehead.
The technology used in this engine was so advanced that it laid the foundation for every future Harley-Davidson motorcycle, including the current models built in the 21st century. To this day, every cruiser-style motorcycle adheres to the shape of that original Knucklehead.

Celebrate the engine that changed the motorcycle world. "Harley-Davidson Knucklehead" tells the entire Knucklehead story - accompanied by modern and period photography - from the very first overhead-valve V-twin Harley produced for the public through the post-war models, continuing right up until today, when aftermarket manufacturers reproduce complete Knucklehead crate engines because of its continuing popularity.

Harley-Davidson Knucklehead, 80 ans

In the early years of motorcycling in the United States, motorcycle technology lagged behind automobile technology. But that all changed in 1936 when Harley-Davidson introduced the Model EL engine, better known as the Knucklehead because of the appearance of its rocker covers.
For the first time, an American motorcycle manufacturer mass-produced a high-performance overhead valve engine for the general market.

"Harley-Davidson Knucklehead, 80 ans" covers the entire history of the Knucklehead from the very first Harley overhead-valve V-twin produced for the public, to the present day when manufacturers are once again producing new complete Knucklehead engines in response to the continued demand for these legendary models.

Harley-Davidson Touring

With the appearance of the first Electra Glide in 1965, Harley-Davidson brought the ultimate touring motorcycle onto the market. Hardly any other machine allows you to manage longer journeys in such a comfortable and sensual way. The only difference is that nowadays it is not an oily 1200 Panhead, but a water-cooled 1690 Twin Cam V2 that provides the appropriate propulsion.
In the 2015 model year, the company's Touring range consists of the Road King, Street Glide, Road Glide and E-Glide models, and there are also limited factory custom versions of the last three with a 1.8-liter engine.

This book tells the story of Harley's touring models, shows unique conversions and spectacular baggers, gives tips on buying used bikes and presents all members of the Touring family in words and pictures.
