In 1925, Harley-Davidson was at the cross roads of their evolution, a change from the spindly looking earlier machines to the lines of modern motorcycles. A new frame lowered the rider by three inches, lowering the center of gravity and improving the handling and balance of the motorcycle. A drop forged crucible incorporated into the lower frame protected the engine from rocks and stiffened the chassis. The motorcyclist was provided with a comfortable ride from the roomy form fitting leather saddle supported by long spring posts that extended from the seat to the bottom of the frame. The familiar Sager forks had improved ride with auxiliary buffer springs while the handlebars had a new more comfortable bend that would allow the rider hours of riding without discomfort. This Harley-Davidson JD has been in long time ownership and features the 74ci V-twin engine with pushrod activated overhead valves and iron-alloy pistons. This model came from the factory complete with a three-speed sliding gear transmission, single unit ignition, including a 6-volt generator, battery, a manual ignition switch with audible warning alarm, tail light, a two-bulb headlight, and a Klaxon horn, all for $335 at the factory.
