This was the top of the line for [[Harley-Davidson]] customers in the 30s. Produced from 1930 to 1936 it was available as a solo model, with sidecar or as a package truck. Harley’s 74 c.i. VL could do it all. They were very popular during this time period. By 1937, all Harley-Davidson's [[flathead]] [[engines]] were equipped with [[dry-sump]] oil recirculation systems similar to the one introduced in the "[[Knucklehead]]" [[OHV]] engine. The revised 74 cubic inches (1,210 cc) [[Harley-Davidson V|V]] and [[Harley-Davidson VL|VL]] models were renamed [[Harley-Davidson U|U]] and [[Harley-Davidson UL|UL]], the 80 cubic inches (1,300 cc) [[Harley-Davidson VH|VH]] and [[Harley-Davidson VLH|VLH]] to be renamed [[Harley-Davidson UH|UH]] and [[Harley-Davidson ULH|ULH]].<ref name=Chronicle>{{cite book|author=Mitchel, D.|title=Harley-Davidson Chronicle - An American Original|pages=94-95|publisher=Publications International Limited|year=1997|isbn=0-7853-2514-X}}</ref> | |||
