    Harley trivia question

    Ok folks, here's a trivia question for all you Harley experts out there. In reference to the attached picture, tell us the following:

    1. What is the model of the bike, years of manufacture and type of engine used?

    2. Why is this model particularly notable in Harley Davidson's design and production history?

    Also, bonus rep points to the first person who can tell me which film this frame grab came from.

    If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!

    One year out I think. Looks like a 1956 KHK, the precursor to the XL.

    Sounds good to me. Bling awarded. From what I can tell, its a 1952-1955 Harley Davidson Model K.

    Now for part two of the question, and then the bonus...
