  • Help ID These Old Harley Engine Parts

    I need some help figuring out just what is mounted on my old Harley engine I just purchased. As best I understand, the engine is mostly 1914 Harley twin. But someone told me he thinks one of the cylinder/heads is 1913. Also Indian manifold. What else?

    Please click here to see lots of detailed photos on the Classic American Iron Magazine blog.

    I need to get this all figured and sorted out before the Motorcycle Cannonball Run.

    Thanks.

      Thanks. I bought the old Harley as she sits, so can't take any credit for it yet. So far we figured it has a 1914 bottom end, a 1914 cylinder/head and a 1913 ones, an Indian intake manifold, and newer Harley Linkert carb. Newer wheels and 1919 tin.

      I have lots of plans for her before the cross country ride on the Motorcycle Cannonball in September. All help appreciated.

        I heard that the previous owner had tried to sell it for quite a while. A friend suggested that he paint it red and that would attract a sure fire buyer.
