1939 Roadmaster 4-Gill

by Dave Stromberger · February 14, 2001

This is a rare Roadmaster with the 4 gill tank. Notice that the gills in the front of the tank that allow the noise from the horn to emit. There are usually 3 gills on each side of the tank, but on this model there are 4. This bike also features the “Shockmaster” springer fork, front loading torpedo headlight, and tail light carrier. Notice how the chainguard goes over the rear sprocket, another rare feature.
