Harley-Davidson Topper From Wikipedia. the free encyclopedia The Harley-Davidson Topper was the only motor scooter that the Harley-Davidson Motor Company ever produced. [7] The Topper had a 165 cc (10. 1 cu in) single-cylinder two-stroke engine mounted horizontally between the floorboards. [8] The engine required a premixed gasoline/oil mixture. The starter was of the rope-recoil type similar to lawn mowers[1][8][9] or the Lambretta E model. [10] Unlike most scooters with enclosed engines. the Topper's engine did not have a cooling fan. [2][5][6] It was expected that the low. horizontally mounted engine would be cooled by air passing under the scooter. 2] but some Toppers developed overheating problems. [5] The engine used a reed valve in its induction system. [3] The engine powered a continuously variable transmission[2][9] called "Scootaway Drive"[3][9] that included a safety device that did not allow the scooter to move from rest at engine speeds higher than 1800 rpm. [8] Final drive was by an exposed roller chain. [3][8] The Topper had 5 inch internal expanding drum brakes on both wheels. [3] The front brake was controlled by a hand lever[2][3] on the left handlebar[1] with a parking brake lock;[1][3] the rear brake was controlled by a pedal. [2][3] The front body. front fender and floorboards of the Topper were made of stamped steel. and the engine cover and body were made of molded fiberglass. [11] Storage space was provided under the seat; the manufacturer suggested storing extra containers of two-stroke oil there.
