T'HE popular 1000 с. с. Harley-Davidson model is offered for the
1925 season with a big array of improvements and refinements. The new
low riding position will be quickly noticed. It is three inches lower
than formerly. The rider can now put his feet firmly on the ground.
There is a new design frame that provides a low center of gravity and
makes for a perfectly balanced machine. The drop forged head is extra
strong and the loop of the frame is a wide trussed, crucible steel base
that protects the bottom of the motor. There is the same liberal road
clearance.
Much additional riding comfort has been built into the new models. The
seat is extra large, form fitting. The cushion seat post is now fitted
with a buffer spring and the main spring is fourteen inches long—five
inches longer than formerly. The motor is fitted with lightweight iron
alloy pistons. Three deep, narrow piston rings give long wear and hold
compression.
This model is equipped with the reliable Harley-Davidson built single
unit electric system. The ignition coil is now further protected with a
metal cover. The battery is vertically mounted and easy to get at.
Electrical equipment on this model includes headlight, motor driven
warning signal, generator, storage battery, manual ignition switch with
warning alarm and tail light.
An ammeter, speedometer, additional heel brake, luggage carrier and
front stand can be furnished if desired as extra equipment. This model,
as illustrated on page 5, can also be obtained with Bosch magneto
ignition.
