Default Are there any Knuckleheads out there!??

Looks like i am wasting my time in this forum but if there are any Knucklehead enthusiasts out there please respond.
I recently aquired a lot of Knucklehead parts and i would like to know how i can identify them as far as the year or model.Some parts like the heads and cylinders have numbers on them.Is there a book or reference manual that i could purchase to identify these parts.
Thanks

I purchased a parts listing manual from Harley Antique literature division years ago. I think it is still available. It covers 1930 to 1949. The first section of the book uses photographs rather than line drawings. The photos are small but they help. Another good reference is How to Restore Your Harley Davidson by Bruce Palmer III. If you have a specific question you could post some photographs and we will help you identify them.

Welcome to the first real motorcycle harley made..trying to identify a knuck part is mind boggling.. HD during this period took liberally from their parts bin, so years get confusing..notorious leakers..I'm waiting for a catalog that supposedly will be big help, from KickStart m/c pats..other than that, its a hands on process..what you going to do with the parts..be well, ruben..
