New book series documenting the complete history of the 1930-36 Harley-Davidson VL and now also the Knucklehead years.


THE HARLEY-DAVIDSON VL YEARS

This is a series of volumes covering the Harley-Davidson Big Twin side valve model produced for the 1930-36 model years. The book is a companion to 'Harley-Davidson 1930-36 Big Twins: Buying, restoring and riding a VL' which acts as a technical history and workshop manual for the model.

​Each volume starts with a brief overview, followed by a list of technical changes by model year taken from the companion publication. Then comes the dealer publication announcing the forthcoming new models, color sales brochures from the years, followed by copies of all the relevant Enthusiast magazines published during the model years. We conclude with a list of surviving engine numbers from the VL Register.
VOLUME 1. 1930/31 MODELS August 1929-July 1931 312 pages, $69

VOLUME 2. 1932/33 MODELS August 1931-July 1933 312 pages, $69
