arroll Resweber, Bart Markel, Mert Lawwill, Mark Brelsford and Scott Parker are all Harley-Davidson legends; flat track racers who could take the big V-Twin Harley-Davidson blasting down the straight and pitch it in sideways on the 1/2 miles and mile tracks around this great country. Who could forget the scenes of Brelsford in On Any Sunday when he got his XR750 “into fourth and kept her wide open all the way around the mile.”
     Flat track is different then any other form of motorcycle racing; with triple digit speeds on the dirt, every race is a dogfight among V-Twin warriors. Back in the day, they raced at over 100 MPH, full throttle and no brakes. And flat track is uniquely American; the rest of the world has never really understood it nor ever been any good at it. American riders on American V-Twins have always ruled the flat tracks.
Icon is about the street and for the street, but they honor the history and roots of where some of the greatest street machines in the V-Twin world developed their horsepower and strength…the American flat track circuit. Icon honors the great days of flat track racing with the Vintage Flat Track jacket.
     The Flat Track Jacket is another version of the popular Daytona jacket. The Vintage Flat Track is the “XR750” of motorcycle jackets–an all-American design to celebrate an all-American form of racing. All of the legendary craftsmanship and refinements of the Icon Retro Daytona jackets are here, mixed with the heroic soul of the American flat track racer. The inside liner is screen-printed with a 1977 vintage image of flat track racer Matt Holm. Like all Daytona jackets, the Flat Track jacket is made from a durable 1.2-1.4mm leather chassis with a vintage leather treatment so it feels like you’ve owned and worn it for years. CE-approved shoulder and elbow armor help keep you safe and there are zippered intake and exhaust vents for cooling when its hot, like the State Fair Flat Track circuit in the summer. For comfort, the Flat Track jacket has Icon’s straight cut body for a relaxed fit on the cruise and a removable insulated liner for changes in the weather. And to honor V-Twin racing’s heritage, Vintage Flat Track graphics bring history to life.
     There are several versions of the Daytona. Black Stealth is the basic chassis Icon starts with. Icon also offers the Retro Daytona, Dead Man’s Hand (DMH), and the newest, the Daytona Vintage Flat Track jacket.
