Harley Davidson implemented their iconic 45 design in 1929. Initially it was nicknamed the “3-cylinder” because of how the generator stuck up. It was also during this time period that 45 CI (750cc) engines became the standard displacement for racing side-valve engines in American Motorcycle Association sanctioned events. The first 45 series were known as the DL from 1929-31. In 1932, the RL series was introduced. These were both total-loss oiling systems. In 1937, the W series was launched with the added benefit of a recirculating oil system. Harley-Davidson had begun releasing “hotter” versions during this time period, such as the WLDR and the later WR, which was a purpose-built race bike. These engines were also used in 3-wheelers and were designated with the letter G. Harley-Davidson kicked production of the 45 into high gear for the wartime effort. Military bikes were given the designation WLA, with the A designating its purpose in the Army. There was also a batch that was made to a slightly different specification for the Canadian Army. These were given the designation WLC. Because of the war effort, there were abundant supplies of spares manufactured, and caches of parts are still being discovered today. After World War II, Harley-Davidson continued production of the W series into 1952, when it first released the K series. The K’s were designed to compete with the onslaught of British bikes being imported into the U.S. They were now outfitted with a hand clutch and foot shift. This bike appears largely original, with all cycle parts appearing to be original, including its original paint. Ordered with the 18-inch chrome-wheel package, this bike also features one of the more unusual accessories in the Brush Cycle accessory seat for a child (or date) mounted on the front. With only 5,000 miles put on this motorcycle since new by its one owner, this particular unit is one of the most original and documented WLs on the planet, and will be sold with its original purchase papers, dealer invoice and option fees, an offer that’s hard to refuse.

This is a very nice 1933 RLDE 45 cubic inch Flathead. One of only 65 ever built. I am willing to let this one go to fund other projects as I am lucky enough to have another of the 65. I bought this bike just as it is from a gentleman a few years ago he had known of and been involved with the restoration when it was done. I have never tried to crank this Motorcycle as I have plenty to ride and bought this one for my collection only to display and look at it. Of course we have won the local Vintage Bike Show with it. It is all there and I am confident it can be made to run. I had a 29 BA before that I also never tried to crank that had also been on display for years even before I owned it and after I sold it the Gentleman I sold it to sent me a video of it running with in a week of him receiving the Bike. I have several bikes and right now I am willing to sale several. I have a 1912 original motor in a 1910 style timeless chassis, a couple more 40s flatheads, a couple knuckles, a few panheads, two Indians , shovelheads of every model of every year , a few evos and some twincams . If you are looking for anything let me know. If you have questions just ask. You can call me 870-510-6175. I do not have a title for this bike due to the age most states do not title bikes this old. I am sure most of you Know how to get a title in your state. I do have lots of documentation. Mileage unknown ebay requires you fill in the blank.
