The type motor that figured in these achievements was the

Harley-Davidson Pocket Valve Type, the same general design

motor as over 150.000 other Harley-Davidsons and as those 

regulary solid. Where the maximum of sustained speed and power

are necessary requirements, the Harley-Davidson Pocket Valve Type

motor has absolutely dominated the field.
