In 1932 the MoCo prototyped a 65" Flathead. But due to the lousy sales of the VL they shelved it. But many of its features; double down tube frame, tubular forks, welded gas tanks with built in dash were used on the 1936 EL. What was the name of this prototype motorcycle?
Silver Eagle or Model W
I think that proto bike had two names:
It was supposed to be "model W" and we know that by an old internal H-D letter signed by Doerner.
Then I think the name "Silver Eagle" appears on the bike's tank graphic.
I think that's right.
Always risky when you try to remember this stuff without looking it up....
