American Icon: Restored 1938 EL Knucklehead
By Bruce Montcombroux

The design that set a new standard in motorcycling.

 

You can not beat the look of a Knucklehead motor.

 

She’s a beauty.

 

very tastfully done...sometimes a resto can look like my vintage axe...its had three new handles and two new heads

 

 

My Cross Country Chase 46, real motor/trans,1946 license plate and speedo...the rest of it basically repop. It is a great rider.

Im currently dealing on this one, restored all 41. I'm very close to owning I hope.

3-1939 engines in a stash from a barn I bought last month

Carbs from the stash

More goodies from the barn

Cylinders and tanks, almost perfect 79 low rider tank set cool hand painted sportster tank.

93 FXLR anniversary EVO....It was in the barn as well. Hadn't had been ridden in years.

 

Very nice bikes and very nice stash you acquired.

See the sidecar frame. You wouldn't happen to have the stainless steel trim for the tub, the windshield, spare tire carrier and seat would you? Or even maybe a sourc that might have some/all the parts?

Adding a 59 hack to the 65 I am restoring. Winshield frame is wasted, seat is homemade and has no stainless trim or spare tire carrier.

 

Hey Panz, Pretty much all I got is the frame and wheel, brake linkage and hardware to hook to a bike, I will look tomorrow and see if any other parts are tucked away.
I will ask around, Lonnie had a pretty complete steel tub in Sturgis at Comp. Engineering, but its been awhile ago....Ill ask around.

 

The FXR shined up nice.....took the forwards off and put the stock mids back on it.

 

Wow... The 46 is truly stunning. Thanks for sharing! I guess this would have been among the first civilian bikes available after the war?
