Beautiful bike, did a lot of work to bring this one back. Ain’t got pockets deep enough to buy this perfect knuckle. I’m sure you’ll get what you’re asking. My first Harley was a WLA 1944 old flat head. Bought it from military surplus in 1958, still in the crate. Road that old dog all through high school parked it when I got my draft notice. That bike never left me walking. Easy to fix leaked oil but it ran like a scared rabbit after I worked the flat head over and stopped leaking oil after I got the cases machined. Should have never let that bike get away.
nobody knew back then. I got a 1947 74" FL in all original condition in 1969 for $300. Ran perfectly. I think it was a former police bike because it was sort of army green and not glossy. I was only 17 so my father made the guy take it back. It was difficult to forgive my dad for that. It was probably my mother who made him do it lol.
@joshpitts25, you're correct it's a beautiful bike. But only for the insanely wealthy. I found a Panhead 26 years ago. I still own it today. I would never be able to buy or build that bike at today's prices. The money took the fun out of the antique bikes.
@@atcjoe1600 yeah, I have a couple of those too. I have an 80 FLH that I bought in 2001. I was in my 20's. I beat it half to death. It's sitting patiently waiting in the back of my garage. I found a 71 FLH about three years ago. I picked it up for cheap from a guy in my AMCA chapter. I have already had people offer to buy it, because it's an unmolested, original paint bike. It's taken my adult lift to aquire these bikes. I'm only a heavey diesel mechanic. I don't make Knucklehead let alone Panhead money. Like I said previously, money ruined the fun with antique bikes. I guess if I sold my three bikes, I could maybe afford to buy one, beat up Knucklehead cylinder. I know, it's sarcasm. But you get my point.
