I was watching TV this weekend and saw a flathead powered motorcycle. It was a 37-40 60 hp flathead v8. The narrater said these bikes can be purchased but I did not catch who it is that builds them. Anybody heard of this?

 

i have a magazine back at my tent (kuwait)that has an article on those bikes, i'll find it when i get of work

 

I read an article about them in Mechanics Illustrated many years ago. The bike with the flathead engine was on the magazine cover. It was in the 50s, don't remember the exact year.

 

Check out the thread a couple of months ago on just this subject.

Honest Charley makes them. You can see them @ www.coker.com/flathead.asp I have also seen 1 that had a lincoln V-12 flathead, It had 2 saddle bags with vents that held 2 radiators.
