  • Does anybody know what this motor is?

    Hope these images attach. A friend was just given this and asked me what this was. I wasn't sure so I thought I would ask if anyone could give me specifics. Thank you

    That is a 61" Harley twin engine from 1919.

      Like Chris said, 61" 1919.
      It is a magneto ignition model. The first A in the VIN indicates that it left the factory with the new style clutch installed. It was a mid year change due to a patent infringement lawsuit with Eclipse. Not sure on the A at the end. I'll have to look that up. Are the letters USA stamped on the case sides by the base flange?

          Mark there is no stamping saying USA. Does this mean something?

            It just means that it is not an army bike.
