1931 Henderson "KJ" Streamline | USA

Henderson was a manufacturer of 4-cylinder motorcycles and produced two wheelers from 1912 until 1931. They were the largest-capacity and fastest motorcycles of their time. Henderson appealed to both sport riders and police departments. Police favored four-cylinder motorcycles for traffic patrol because they were faster than anything else on the roads. The company began during the Golden Age of motorcycling, and ended during the Great Depression.

The Streamline model (factory index KJ), appeared in 1929 featuring improved engine and a return to the IOE (inlet over exhaust) valve configuration. From this moment modified engine shows 45 hp at 4000 rpm. It has a five main bearing crankshaft, and down draft carburetion. The Streamline is really fast - capable of a genuine 100 mph (～160 kmph), and advanced for its time, with such features as leading-link forks and an illuminated speedometer built into the fuel tank.

On Black Tuesday, October 29, 1929, the Wall Street stock market crashed, but Henderson sales remained strong, and business continued. At this point Excelsior Motor Mfg. & Supply Co. was one of America's "Big Three" of motorcycle production, alongside Harley-Davidson and Indian.

The last motorcycle left the factory in September 1931.

Weird Wheels: A Vectrix VX-1 Mahogany Electric Custom Motorcycle

When you first lay eyes on this Vectrix VX-1 custom it’s not completely clear what you’re looking at. It somewhat resembles the Henderson KJ Streamline but its body is wood rather than alloy and once you see under the skin you realize it’s 100% electric. This is a custom motorcycle that looks nothing like the scooter it started out as, it now has a fully enclosed mahogany and fiberglass body with…

1930 StreamLine KJ Henderson Motorcycle

1930 Henderson KJ Streamline With its 1,200-cc, 40-brake horsepower, in-line four-cylinder engine, the ‘1930 Henderson Model KJ Streamline’ could exceed 100 mph. In an era when streamlining was used sparingly in motorcycle design (American) Orley Ray Courtney’s enclosed bodywork was virtually unknown on production two-wheelers (except for a few racing machines) making the ‘KJ’ an unusual and beautiful example of ‘Art Deco’ design. Courtney believed that the motorcycle industry failed to provide weather protection and luxury for its riders. His radically streamlined ‘KJ’ body shell was unlike anything ever done on two wheels. The sleek vehicle had a curved, vertical-bar grille reminiscent of the ‘Chrysler Airflow’ and the rear resembled an ‘Auburn’ boat-tail speedster. The panels were hand-formed of steel with a power hammer. Stunningly beautiful but impractical and hard to ride the ‘Streamline’s’ complex curved body was heavy and was difficult to make. In 1941 Courtney filed for a patent for a second motorcycle design with fully enclosed fenders. Perhaps Courtney was influenced by the fact that the ‘Indian Motocycle Company’ had introduced its partially skirted fenders in 1940 and that motorcyclists were becoming more accepting of this trend. For fact fans - in 1923, ‘Indian Motorcycle Company’ became ‘Indian Motocycle Company’ and retained that name until the company closed in 1953. #neonurchin #neonurchinblog #dedicatedtothethingswelove #suzyurchin #ollyurchin #art #music #photography #fashion #film #design #words #pictures #oldsmobile #generalmotors #indianmotocylecompany #patent #artdeco #motorcycle #metalworker #designer #orleyraycourtney #raycourtney #1930hendersonkjstreamline https://www.instagram.com/p/CfYhUlfI092/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
