Not many people know that about Harley. I think they made about 1000
desert "hogs" for the fight in N.Africa with Rommel, etc. I saw number
901 in Wellman, Iowa, many years ago. I was riding my uncle's old 74
c.i. Harley at the time and the guy who owned it stocked parts for the
old knuckleheads. I earnestly wished that he would have asked if I'd
like to try to get it started.
