It is one of those miracles that nearly every Harley fan dreams of: the discovery of an unrestored classic in its original condition, a family vehicle built in 1939. This Harley-Davidson U was bought by the grandfather, passed on to the son and only maintained and preserved over the decades. Always on the road, always on the move. And all that in California, so to speak, preserved by nature.
Ehinger Kraftrad found this jewel in the USA. And it was clear from the outset: Hands off any conversions. This motorcycle with its strong character had to be left in its original, unaltered condition - with all the attractive traces of over 80 years of everyday use.
The power delivery of the 1200 flathead engine is impressive even from the lowest revs. Downshifting? What's the point? And as well the sound. Typical side-valve engine – one of Ehinger Kraftrad's favorite concepts. And a real dream even in standard condition.
