25 hp, 45 cu. in. V-twin engine, three-speed transmission, leading-link front fork with springs, rigidly mounted rear wheel, and rear brake.

By 1947, the 45 was available in the handsome and highly developed WL model, as displayed by the example offered here from the Cars of Dreams Museum. While it is very attractively finished in black with a turquoise and black tank, the restoration on the Harley has mellowed over the years. Nevertheless, the WL is complemented by an abundance of tasteful brightwork and a black leather saddle, and the odometer indicates that it was set back to zero miles during the comprehensive restoration. Please note that this example also features a Kentucky Department of Vehicle Registration assigned tag, number KY 12044, which is properly affixed to the frame.
