1950
45ci changes: air flow
fenders, optional chrome muffler, Mellow Tone muffler which was straight
- no fishtail, recalibrated carb w/fixed jet, fuel filter w/rubber sleeved
gas line, riveted front fender brackets.
Panhead: The primary chain cover on the '48 & '49 had the screws set at
3 and 9 o' clock, while subsequent years are 6 and 12 o'clock. Also, the gear
cover screws were changed to phillips. Redesigned cylinder heads w/enlarged
cylinder inlet ports equate to 10% more power, valve guides made of bronze,
die-cast fork sliders, Mellow-Tone mufflers, (shown on pic below), "Hydra-Glide" name
stamped into fork upper front panel, bracket frame bolted to hold oil filter,
chrome plated front safety guard optional. The carbs were newly equiped with
a fixed jet, limited adjustability of high speed needle and a larger accelerating
well. The new carbs were so successful, that H-D offered a $5 trade-in on older
carbs. The oil filter was moved away from the oil tank to isolate it from vibration.
