• Thanks to many forclarifying that this bike is a WL (45 cubic inch motor) Flathead and NOT an FL Panhead(Big twin).
• Harley-Davidson's first flathead V-twin appeared in 1929 as the Model D.
• Its 45-cubic-inch engine was smaller than the company's existing 61- and 74-cubic-inch F-head V-twins, hich then became known as "Big Twins."
• The latter switched to a flathead design the following year, ut those larger engines were neither as reliable nor as long-lived as the understressed "Forty-five.
• "Though the Forty-five was no powerhouse, t proved to be a versatile engine that remained in production for more than four decades.
• During that time it served duty not only in street motorcycles, ut also in three-wheeled Servi-Cars (1933-1973), ilitary WLAs of the 1940s, nd WR racing bikes of the 1940s and 1950s.
• By 1948, he Forty-five was powering a street model called the WL. It looked very similar to Harley's Big Twin flatheads of the era, he most noticeable visual difference being that WLs had their drive chains on the right side of the bike, hile Big Twins had them on the left.
• Though 1948 would prove to be the final year for Big Twin flatheads, he WL lasted through 1951, fter which it was replaced by the K-series carrying a redesigned 45-cubic-inch flathead V-twin with unit construction (motor and transmission in one case).
