For the desert campaign in Africa the US Army contracted with both HD and Indian to build a motorcycle with telescoping forks, rear suspension and a drive shaft. It was 1949 before HD put a telescoping front fork, 1958 for a rear suspension and never a drive shaft on civilian production motorcycle.

I may be wrong but I thought that BMW s from WW ll were flat head engines.

Good evening CARNAC Just completed donating. I need as much info as you can provide to help me obtain a correct SF 97, I don't know the manufactory or year of MFG of either truck. Also I would like to know as much history that is avaliable. I just pickup two M-35s, neither have the orginal...
