Re: What is a Square Body?
This kind of reminds me of the Harley "head" names
Flat head
Knuckle head
Pan head
Shovel head
Block head
Then they jumped-ship to twin cam
These were not Harley's words originally, though they have stolen them and trademarked them as such....
Their original designation was
Side valve= flat head
All of the others were referred to as OHV, of the particular year group.
36-47
48-65
66-84
85-00 .....Harley called these Evolution
All of the original service manuals just called them Over Head Valve.
They went a little goofy in the late 80s -early 90s stealing a bunch of terms that were just common use words among the bikers. They trademarked things like hog and forced vendors to quit using it.
I am still confused by them allowing the Sirius radio people use the word Sportster?

Learn from the mistakes of others, you won't live long enough to make them all yourself...
Bad planning on your part does not necessarily constitute an instant emergency on my part....
The great thing about being a pessimist is that you are either pleasantly surprised or right.
