There’s More to The Rider’s Handbook
The Super X Rider’s Handbookcontains information you need to operate
your Excelsior-Henderson Super X safely, responsibly, and with maximum
enjoyment. It also explains the routine maintenance, cleaning, and storage that
will help keep your Super X running and looking great for years to come.
To make the most of your Super X EXperience, this Handbook also includes
stories, photographs, and illustrations from throughout Excelsior-Henderson’s
history. In the section “The Tradition of the State of the Art” the Rider’s
Handbook introduces you to the heritage that is an essential part of the Excelsior-
Henderson EXperience and reestablishes our place in the history of American
motorcycling.
You, the Super X, and the Excelsior-Henderson Motorcycle Manufacturing
Company each have a place in the continuing history of American motorcycling.
• As a Super X owner, you make your own contribution to the
Excelsior-Henderson heritage that began over a century ago and continues with
today’s Excelsior-Henderson Motorcycle Manufacturing Company.
• The 1999 Super X bears the rich heritage of the original Super X and its
manufacturer’s history and tradition.
• The Excelsior-Henderson Motorcycle Manufacturing Company is the first
American manufacturer to successfully revive an original American motorcycle
brand.
