1950 HARLEY DAVIDSON FL
“Smooth as flying” is how the Hydra-Glide forks were described in period sales literature. The fork lower legs were polished on the touring Big Twins from this time forward. There was a 10% boost in horsepower with a design change and an increase in size of the intake ports. The carburetor was updated with an improved Linkert M-74B. Gas lines were rubber-mounted. An adjustable trail feature was introduced on the Hydra-Glide forks to improve handling on sidecar and package truck applications. A handlebar riser link introduced in late ’49 was first illustrated in advertising on the 1950 OHV model.FIRST YEAR OF THE “TRAIL-A-WAY” HYDRA-GLIDE ADJUSTABLE FORKS
