The ironhead was a Harley-Davidson motorcycle engine, so named because of the composition of the cylinder heads (Iron instead of Aluminium).[1] The engine is a two-cylinder, two valves per cylinder, pushrod V-twin. It was produced from 1957 until 1985 [2] and was replaced by the Evolution engine in 1986.[3]

This name was applied to the Harley-Davidson Sportster motorcycles that used this engine.
