Harley-Davidson Duo Glide FL FLH Police motorcycles CHiPs – photo 1958 photo

Description

A superb and rare photo of the
1958 Harley-Davidson Duo Glide – FL –
FLH
Police motorcycles CHiPs,
California Highway
Patrol.
In 1948 H-D introduced the OHV
Panhead
engine model series.
The
Hydra Glide
, which followed a year later in 1949, also featured the new Panhead engine but it had something completely new to offer: the
Hydra Glide
hydraulic suspension front fork.
In 1958 the Hydra Glide was succeeded by the
Duo Glide
, which is shown on the photo that the winner of this auction will receive.
It is a gorgeous photo, showing an unusual but pretty scene of the first Duo Glide.
Unlike the Hydra Glide, the Duo Glide did not have a rigid rear end.
It featured however a swingarm with two hydraulic shock absorbers.
This wasn’t the only novelty on the Duo Glide, it also featured a hydraulic rear brake, a new oil tank, and engine wise it received a stronger transmission and clutch and a number of other small modifications like stiffer valve springs and larger cylinder head fins.
This is a very nice and very rare non period photo that reflects a wonderful era of Harley ‘s motorcycle history in a wonderful way. This is your rare chance to own this photo, therefore it is printed in a nice large format of ca. 8" x 11" (ca. 20 x 28 cm). It makes it perfectly suitable for framing!
