This dynamic volume chronicles the design and development of the Evolution engine and the machines it powers. Told through firsthand accounts from engineers and designers, this story goes beyond the new engine to Harley-Davidson's shift to a more nostalgic look. The book also covers the softtail suspension that has the appearance of 1940's-era suspension while providing a smooth and comfortable ride. Field taps into how Harley-Davidson transformed the motorcycle of choice for outlaws and outcasts into a cultural icon for affluent excitement.
