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.
