Dedicated to those who served! Motorcycles have played an important part in both World Wars. They replaced the mounted soldier by 1917. In World War II, Harley Davidson and Indian produced over 100,000 war models. Few have survived. The Wheels Through Time Museum military collection is a tribute to those who fought for our liberty. The war department relied on American manufacturers to supply large quantities of goods on short order. Harley Davidson and Indian kept pace and delivered the goods. In 1941, a request for an opposed V twin shaft drive model was given to Harley Davidson and Indian. Both companies responded with a reliable finished product in less than one year. Less than 2000 of Harley Davidson XA’s and Indian 841 models were produced.
