Kerry Brethorst - 1954 KHRTT
The KH-based racers are a rare breed. The K-based racers ruled the tracks during the 1950s and 1960s, as they fit in a special niche under the AMA rules of the time. Not so for the KH-based racers. The number of 1954 KHRTTs is unknown, but there were only 23 KHRTTs built in 1955 through 1957.
Check the Production Figures page for more details. Kerry has restored this bike to the way it would have left the Harley Racing Department in 1954.
