Old timers around here who still use it call it the rock and roll clutch! You'd love the bikes some of the old fellers have around here, and yes they run everyday, and no, they won't sell'em lol. Fine machine there!
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us!!, the average biker may never get to learn all of this history, the way bikes were built, modified, tuned back in the day, just proves they got it right , most of us today, wouldnt even know where to start!., the mechanical knowledge , even basic tuning, and fabrication skills, poeple today could learn so much from ....
this is really pretty. it's is the style i rode in san diego in the 70's. mine was a 45 flathead with the same look.. even the tank. one thing that is funny i used schwinn handlebar necks stuck down in the springer instead of dogbones to hold the drag bars. a friend of mine bought this bike from me and he still has it in arizona.. same setup....
very similar. Assuming the clutch is set up "stock" you heal it back to release and toe it forward to engage. This operational set up is why many old timers call this a heal toe clutch
thanks! I'm sure every "area" of people developed their own slang of what to call many types of Harley items. Some slang terms and come into their own and are instantly recognizable anywhere. te term Knuckehead is a good example. Harley never called them this, they called them the OHV for Overhead Valve.
D A M N!!!! That is nice! I've never ridden a rigid and don't know if i could handle it but would definitely like to have that old Knuckle. Btw. Would like to know more about that two barrel carb and manifold setup. Like where and if they are still available, what all engines will it fit on, (shovel?) and so forth. Any and all information would be appreciated. Thanks once again for another great video. They're the best!
everyone has their own starting technique. For some body types / heights, on certain bikes, that is the only way that particular person an start that particular machine. I've owned many, but one bike, one time, that was the only way I could start it, just like this. The angle was all wrong for me to start any other way.
Beautilful bike Todd, again black and chrome looks best! I would love to put a chrome springer on my black sportster! Sorry for the newbie question but I've never ridden a bike with a foot clutch, how do you operate them? Just like a regular car clutch?
@ JSVyolence and deckerhand12; some people use a woman to masturbate when they have sex. others make love to them. Old American bikes are like this, they want and need to be loved. Some people cannot understand or relate. Perfect, leaves more old bikes to me and the others who want to love them
check out the video I posted of Brother Speed kicking his magneto pan shovel! That bike has been all over the world, dual throat webber, just a fine machine. He blew a crack through his front cylinder so he's rebuilding that now.
I'll be thinking about themaxrider this summer when I'm riding my FXR. I'll be thinking about how much fun I'm having and how pathetic themaxrider is riding his keyboard in his parents basement.
you don't, buy a new one. Antique's are a different matter. They were made in a day when the average person who rode or drove was expected to have basic mechanic skills. new bikes are very reliable and the sad fact is, if they do have a problem, you need a computer to fix it, just like a new car. harley's are expensive. just like buying an expensive car; you cannot expect to fix an expensive car for the same price as one that sold new for 1/5th the price.
Actually, Japan asked and received the license to make Harley's in the 1930's from Harley Davidson. These are known as Rikuo. Like I said, your obviously very uneducated and ignorant of the facts. Go away and troll somewhere else
this is like fat girls, nothing wrong with them if this is what you like, but who wants to admit they like a 500 pounder? If you like it, fine with me, but don't dis something you know nothing about
themaxrider, do you have a clue just how much of a moron you have just shown yourself to be? No, wait, obviously not. You should go back to school and learn some history
You serious? That's no diss to Harley. I own a few and when they need to be repaired, the cost is enormous. We're not all mechanics and a person shouldn't have to possess those skills to enjoy riding motorcycles.

thanks! I appreciate all the suppor!. Glad you like the videos!
Great video's, love your bikes. Glad to see someone wants to save all these classics.

Beautiful job on the knuckle!

still like it the way you bought it , with split tank and biltwell seat .
Love this bike men you do cool bikes buddy thanks for sharing these with us
Really nice knuckle head bobber beautiful bike

Knuckleheads are the best! Damn that’s beautiful

Wow thats perfect , wish i owned such a nice piece of art ......👍👍

I had good luck with my first bike -- a 47 FL. Ride safe.
Looks a little like Fonzie's bike in the first Happy Days season...Cool
Man, I just got through saying the 46 Knucklehead was on my top 5, but THIS ONE just made my top 5 as well. The 46 has to go under this one.
Man,I gotta get another Knuck! I had a 1936 EL (36 EL 1980) and my ex wife sold it for $3000 when I was in prison. Really miss my knuck!
that sucks!

Now that sounds like a Harley Davidson
black, bad and beautiful...great machine!
you can also tell my camera is going bad. I need new one
The knucklehead engine was the best looking engine ever built
Really nice job. How much would that sell for?
Between 35k and 65k today
The number said it was an EL which would make it a 61 cubic inch
thanks!
wow sweet . i rode one suicide shifter. it take alot of time to get it
I understand completely
She'd look even MORE badass with a Frisco mount tank. But that's just my opinion😊😊
nothing wrong w a nightrod, still cool

HuntingHarleys Amen brother! Amen!
@JSVyolence to me part of the fun is.fixing.a.old bike any old bike needs fixing now and then
very cool!
I’d like to buy the bike any possibility
Baddasss bike. I got a nightrod if I had the money I would get a custom knuckle or shovel head bobber
WOW that is aGREAT bike
How much would a bike like that cost?
20 to 30k on average in the USA
@themaxrider its the styleing and handling your putting down that every metric is copying. Just,look at handa cruser line or v star
"ignore"
Holy shit!
I want that bike
I ment, the maxrider, not you davidson2004fatboy
I hop right on and ride them
how much you want for it?
Sold years ago
nice
I can see your one of those well educated types
to bad that guy ripped u off cuz u guys together made some baaaad stuff
damm sweet

How much would it be worth
sold this years ago. depends on what part of the world it is sold in and how much someone wants to pay

All you own is a keyboard.
I banned that fool. If you look at his tube channel, all he does it try to dis other channels. Another "shut in" with no life.
Like I said, you're obviously an uneducated moron. if you don't like it, don't watch it
it doesn't take much to get a rise out of someone as uneducated as you are. go troll somewhere else
I just creamed my shorts.
themaxrider, do you have a clue just how much of a moron you have just shown yourself to be? No, wait, obviously not. You should go back to school and learn some history
