Product Description
Illustrated with specially-commissioned photography of collector’s models, as well as unusual war shots, this book presents the history of the Harley-Davidson 45, used all over the world by a number of armies during World War II. It was also a success during the post-war years, both in the commercial market and on the race-track right up to 1974 when production ceased. . . . More >>
The most wonderful book on the hardest working, most underrated HD – the 45. This book does what most fail to do, it recognises the effect this small unassuming two wheeler has had on the lives of so many for so long.
Family transport during the depression, defender of the free world, mobile shop (servicar!), post war family transport, race bike, police utility, brakedown vehicle, Europes post war intro to the HD breed, and the ultimate custom canvass. The 45 has lived many lives with reliabilty (!), dignity, and pride.
John & Garry do a superb job, and its good to see a book that contains so much UK homegrown content. – Especially the 45 once owned by Krazy Horse Kustoms very own Steve Studd (its still going strong after many years too!!).
