I'm no Harley expert, but I wasn't aware there were disc brakes on Harleys in this particular time period (1950s?).  I wonder if it also has modern belt drive, too;  it looks as though it may have chain drive, but I'm not quite certain. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ammocaby]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 30th 2008 10:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Harley-Davidson gets into product placement in new Indiana Jones flick]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/30/harley-davidson-gets-into-product-placement-in-new-indiana-jones/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/30/harley-davidson-gets-into-product-placement-in-new-indiana-jones/</guid><description><![CDATA[Please tell me they aren't actually committing this Frankenbike to film!

Harley Davidson supplied us with the bikes, and we had the job of rebuilding cosmetically as well as mechanically to make be able to handle the stunts. We had 6 weeks to do the bikes, and then we had to handle the daily upkeep while filming. We dropped a considerable amount of weight from the bikes as well as dramatically increased the horsepower. The bikes ran great. Although ideally we would have liked to use period bikes, product placement as well as safety issues kept us with new bikes. The stunt rider Lee Morrison is one of the best riders out there. He made these bikes do things that we didn't think were possible. <br>For period stuff, check out Hell Ride this summer. We used lot's of good period bikes in that one.<br>Justin Kell<br>GLORY]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Justin Kell]]></dc:creator><pubDate>May 15th 2008 3:22PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
