Product Description
Although the Harley-Davidson 45--better known as the Flathead--was designed as an entry-level big twin, its sturdy and dependable construction and unlikely racing pedigree made it one of the most prolific production powerplants in the history of motorcycles. Built and sold from 1929 to 1973, the Flathead turned up in a wide range of Harley-Davidsons, from World War II military models to the utilitarian Servi-Car. The engine also became the power unit of choice among flat-track racers from 1934 to 1969. This Color History chronicles the entire development and production history of the Flathead, examining its application in street, racing, and military motorcycles. In addition to a selection of archival black-and-white photography, the author features nearly 100 modern color shots of restored Harley-Davidsons powered by the Flathead.

Flatheads RRRR us December 17, 1999
Mark Brauninger (Kansas City, Mo.)
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Great book, chronalogically written. The author addresses the reasoning behind the changes in design and apperance through out production and is very thourough in his research. As a owner/restorer of a flathead Harley I am impressed with the spectacular color photos and the detail he has brought out about the design differences. This is not a technical book but a book that brings the reader in touch with the subject and helps them understand the wonders of these great machines. It would make a great coffee table book as the subject is of great interest to the general populatuion as antiques, art and history.
