1930 Harley-Davidson DL Sport Solo Original Paint One Owner

In 1929 Harley Davidson introduced their first side valve powered motorcycle in a 45ci displacement. Rather than create a new frame, they utilized the frames from the smaller ci OHV singles, but new engine cases were designed to mount the generator vertically alongside the front cylinder, giving the motorcycle the appearance of a three cylinder engine. The following year, in 1930, many improvements were made to the 45. This 1930 DL Sport Solo was recently acquired by Bator International, Inc. from the original owner’s family and imported back into the US after its 86 year stay in South Africa. This beauty is in amazing original condition with Harley’s familiar olive green finish and orange striping. It is an export model featuring a front fender license plate and export front wheel stand. Only 3,191 units were produced and this DL is a late 1930 production model. The vertical generator is unique as it has two independent field coils. During daylight running, only one coil is energized, the second coming on only when the lights are switched on. The dual headlights are separate low and high beam with a toggle switch on the right hand handlebar. New 1930 features included a new lower frame, drop forge I-beam forks and drop center rims. This mid-displacement motorcycle made 18.5 hp and would top out at 60-65 mph with a happy cruising speed of 50 mph.

Note: We do have the speedometer glass and cover installed on the speedo face.

Motorcycles at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show

Mon, 28 Sep 2009

Two weeks ago, I took a break from my regular duties gathering news for Motorcycle.com to fly to Germany to cover the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show for our sister site AutoGuide.com. For two hectic days, AutoGuide editor Colum Wood and I scrambled across the massive 6.2 million square foot Messe Frankfurt trade fair compound, running from press conference to press conference to get the latest on exotic sport cars, futuristic concept models and international unveilings from the automotive world. It was heaven for car lovers, but for me, it meant fighting my way through hordes of photogs, auto-journalists and car show models to get the first photos of four-wheeled goodies from MINI, Ferrari and Lotus.
