After completing my 27JD, i began wondering what each H-D Factory Production V-twin model from the beginning 1909 til 1929 looked like in contrast to my '27 as well as to see these changes year by year.
During the time of the "Japanese Invasion," when i was in my teens and 20's, beginning prior to the tumultuous AMC era and through the AMC era, i heard comments made about H-D such as, "They deserve to go out of business, they've never change anything." Of course, we know that's not true; The Factory made changes every year and within years.
Over the past couple months, i've been surfing the 'net looking at pictures of H-D Factory Production V-twins from 1909-1929 to see the changes between each year.
I thought maybe it might be fun to start a thread on these IoE Factory Production models. What i thought i'd do is post a picture, beginning with the first Production V-twin The Factory produced in 1909 through each model year to 1929, so we could write any comments about that specific model year, stuff like the factory model designation, attach pictures of that model year and any other information about these machines.
So, attached are 3 pictures i found on the internet of what are stated as the 1909 model. What was the Factory's model designation for their first year Production twin ? What i mean by "Factory Production Model" is the model The Factory produced intended to go to the dealer to be sold to the customer.
