1949 HARLEY DAVIDSON Type: FL Hydra-Glide Frame no.: 006748 Engine no.: 49FL10236 To be registered in collection 13 000 / 18 000 € Big and tough, loud and proud, Harley-Davidson is America on two wheels. The 1949 Harley-Davidson FL Hydra-Glide motorcycle was popular with riders for its modern design, comfortable ride, and large front brake. After introducing the Panhead engine the previous year, Harley's big innovation for 1949 was the introduction of the "Hydra-Glide" motorcycle. Replacing the old stick forks, the Hydra-Glide is a modern telescopic design offering greater travel and riding comfort. The big Harleys are now called "Hydra-Glide" in reference to the new fork, and it's the first time they've had both a name and a series designation. They are still available in EL 61 ci and FL 74 ci versions, but the difference in appearance is minimal. The 1949 FL was not only more comfortable to drive, but also easier to stop, thanks to a larger front brake. Although many motorcycles of this era adopted foot-operated transmissions, this was not yet the case for the FL series. It still uses the classic manual shifter and foot-operated clutch. This bike is beautifully restored and ready to be registered as a collector's item. 1949 HARLEY DAVIDSON Type: FL Hydra-Glide N° frame : 006748 N° engine : 49FL10236 To be registered as a collector's item 13 000 / 18 000 € Big and strong, loud and proud, Harley-Davidson is America on two wheels.
