Fellas,
I know y'all don't know me over here....I spend most of my time over on the Dyna page. But I'm hoping you can help a brother out. I'm helping my uncle look for a carb for a 1985 1000 Knucklehead.....The bike has a lot of history between him and my dad (who passed away a little over a year ago). Anyway the bike needs a carb bad and we're looking for a Minuki (think that's how it's spelled). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
CK

 

Hey CK,
I see you're in Richmond Hill. It's maybe a little far for you but Beaufort Cycles in Beaufort, SC should be able to help you out. Talk to Luke or Nick (843) 263-1430‎. They are really cool guys who really know older Sportsters and can give you the help you need.

BTW... what you have is an ironhead Sportster not a knucklehead (1947 was the last year they were made and they were never a Sportster motor) and the carb you're asking about is a Mikuni and the HSR42 model is pretty commonly used on (nice) Sportsters. I would call the guys at BC and make sure thats the best one to use on your particular bike though. Good luck!

 

Elvis is correct you have an Iron head last knuck was made before I was born and I will be 60 this year ...

 

Wow, thanks for the info guys, I'll have to check out the fellas in Beaufort, that's right down the road from where I'm from....Still got family over there and usually end up over there several times a month. Thanks for the advice guys, I'll keep ya posted.
CK
