In 1914 Harley-Davidson introduced a conventional, three-speed, sliding-gear transmission with 'step starter' on the top-of-the-range version of the twin which, with full electrical equipment, and was listed from now on as the Model J. Two important developments in the twin's evolution occurred in 1916: the most immediately obvious being the adoption of a gently curved fuel tank that replaced the slab-sided tank used previously. Inside the engine, the cams were altered from two-lobe to four-lobe, making alterations to valve timing - previously achieved by reshaping the followers - that much simpler. The Harley-Davidson twin in this general outline would endure for the next eight years.
