Built under a U.S. Government contact during World War II only 1,011 of these unusual [[motorcycles]] were produced as the North African phase of WWII was almost over when the model was ready for production. Together with the increased use of the Jeep, and the lack of interchangeability with other [[Harley-Davidson]] military models a major concern, the project was canceled. It features rear [[shaft drive]], a hand clutch with foot shift and special disc wheels for desert use. It was a very close copy of the German [[BMW]] and [[Zundapp]] machines. | Built under a U.S. Government contact during World War II only 1,011 of these unusual [[motorcycles]] were produced as the North African phase of WWII was almost over when the model was ready for production.
