Books

This comprehensive manual is aimed at owners and restorers of Harley-Davidson D and R models (1929–1936, 45"/750cc) and is considered one of the most detailed reference works for these series. With over 1,750 photos, including a full color chapter on paint and emblems, the book provides thorough documentation of all relevant technical details.
It includes product information, model identifications, technical specifications, factory bulletins, parts descriptions, dimensions and illustrations, as well as practical instructions for disassembly, repair, testing, and adjustment. Particularly noteworthy are the exploded views, which have not been previously available, such as for the 1929–1934 3-speed transmission, the 1933–1937 "Slant-Top" reverse gear transmission, the 30D generator, Klaxon 11 horn, external band brake, 1930–1936 breaker points, the Mesinger No. 3 saddle, and various wheel hubs. The work is complemented by high-quality factory photos of the different models.
Although primarily intended for D and R model owners, the detailed technical information also provides valuable insights for other Harley-Davidson motorcycles from this era. Printed on glossy paper with a durable spiral binding, the book lies flat on the workbench, making it ideal for practical use.

Reprints of the original Parts Catalogues with 4-digit part numbers. Detailed illustrations of all parts, from the smallest screw to a complete sidecar, as well as exact description and part number.

Harley-Davidson launched its own magazine "The Enthusiast" in 1916 to broadcast the Motor Company’s latest and greatest exploits. Once a year, usually in late summer, there was a special issue in which the new models were announced. The quality reprints offered here are duplicates of these particular publications. They depict each new model in detail, which makes them a valuable source for restorers and collectors. In addition, they are also fascinating period magazines with articles, readers writes and pictures from all over the world, technical hints, race reports, travelogues, etc.

Fine reprints of the factory riders handbooks which were and still are factory delivered with every new Harley.

Just like today period rider gear and accessories were not listed in the factory parts manuals. H-D published special catalogs for them. These 1:1 top-quality reprints of early Harley-Davidson accessory catalogues are almost indistinguishable from the original editions and highly valuable sources for collectors, restorers and enthusiasts. They show the complete riding gear and all factory accessory parts availalble back in the days, of which most you didn't know they were.
