Ah! The faint smell of Cosmoline heavy preservative grease as you unwrap a part made fifty or more years ago...The orange Harley parts boxes saying “The contents of this package have passed the most rigid inspection” and “This part is made of proper materials, made to fit perfectly...guaranteed satisfactory”. William S Harley was the Chief Engineer when the VL was designed, and he maintained an uncompromising commitment to quality even through the Great Depression. The Indian racers used Harley roller bearings and engine bottom ends because they were just that much more rugged and better made. Appreciate these enduring qualities for yourself, and save those quarter point deductions by the AMCA judges! We have the ‘usual’ n-o-s parts in our catalog, but here are a few exotic or one-off parts we are especially pleased with:
