Introduced in 1915,the 61ci(1,000cc)F-head was a big step forward for Harley and would remain in the line up until 1929. It established Harleys 45-degree twin as there trademark powerplant,various improvements were made during its production years. Many of the magneto ignition models were supplied to businesses using motorcycles for daytime deliveries hence the omission of lights. Often sidecar boxes were fitted to carry tools and equipment pertaining to said businesses for instance NRMA.
