Some 1966-1969 models also received the 80 cubic inch (1310cc) Shovelhead engine. Performance Horsepower Estimate: Typically in the range of 50-60 HP, depending on specific engine variant and tuning. Torque Estimate: Torque figures varied, but generally sufficient for highway cruising and carrying a passenger/luggage. Fuel System Carburetion: Typically Linkert carburetors on Panheads, transitioning to Keihin butterfly carburetors on Shovelheads. Specific models and years may vary. Fuel Type: Leaded gasoline, typically with a higher octane rating (e.g., 91-93 RON or equivalent). Lubrication System Oil Type: Viscosity typically SAE 50 or SAE 20W-50 motorcycle-specific oil. Historically, some models may have used straight-weight oils. Critical to follow manual specifications for oil type and viscosity. Oil Capacity: Approximately 4 US quarts (3.8 liters) including the oil filter, but subject to specific engine build. 🔧 Transmission Standard Type: 4-speed constant mesh manual transmission Optional Automatic Transaxle: The manual lists 'automatic transaxle' but this is likely an error or refers to a very limited, non-standard offering for this period. Standard models are manual. Features Drive System: Primary drive via chain, secondary drive to rear wheel via belt. Clutch: Wet multi-plate clutch Gear Ratios: Specific gear ratios would be detailed within the manual, crucial for proper engine operation and performance. Transmission Fluid: Typically shared with engine oil in older Harley-Davidsons, but specific recommendations are vital and found in the manual. 📐 Dimensions Exterior Wheelbase Approx: Approximately 62 inches (1575 mm) Weights Dry Weight Approx: Around 650-700 lbs (295-318 kg) depending on exact configuration (e.g., fairing, bags). Gross Vehicle Weight Rating: Not typically published as a strict GVWR for motorcycles of this era, but designed to carry rider, passenger, and luggage. 🛡️ Safety Features Ratings Crash Testing: No formal crash ratings as understood today. Safety features were basic. Active Features Braking System: Drum brakes (front and rear) on most models within this range. Later models in the series might have seen early disc brake introductions as options or standard on certain trims. Lighting: Headlight, taillight, brake light, turn signals (depending on market and year). Passive Features Frame Construction: Robust steel frame designed for stability....
