Californiaman Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 I thought some of you might enjoy some pictures of my friends bike. He built it and is now selling it to pay for the '64 El Camino he's building. It's a '46 Knucklehead in a rigid frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djroge1 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Sweet! It sho don't look like it's from 1946 except for the knuckle headers and a few other things. Has it been bored out or is it the orginal displacement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynadude Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 That's pretty sweet. First one I've seen with a belt for the final drive. It's too bad he couldn't put electric start on it too, but they're pretty easy to kick, so I guess it's not that big a deal. Is it strictly magneto fired, with a battery eliminator?

Thundergod Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Fantastic... thanks for sharing those pics with us man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Californiaman Posted March 8, 2009 Author Share Posted March 8, 2009 According to the owner, that's an original motor. Everything else he assembled it from the ground up. Got to go play ball with the kids, I can answer more questions later. Still, it is one sweet bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Tari Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 No more Nut Busters for me. I need a soft Tail. My Back won't take the jolt anymore. Nice color, The bike looks tight also. straight pipes, No baffel,(Can't Run That Here) Solo seat, Fat Bob tanks and rear fender.Never road one with Belt instead of chain. How easy is it to change a belt, instead of addind a link in the chain? Hows the compresion on the kick peddle? You don't need the Hulk's right leg to kick it do you? I'll show a couple friends the bike.. He won't have trouble selling. Your Friend has talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matiac Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 All I can say is...Wow. That really is a beautiful bike, he should have no problem getting what he's asking for it. I'm gonna try to photoshop my Blue Les Paul leaning against it. I took the forward loking shot from the rear of the bike. I'd be afraid to take it out on these poor excuses for roads they have in R.I., but then again, it's SCREAMING to be ridden. Really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murph Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Sweet. I owned a 1947 Indian "Arrow" when I was young. It was a 437cc Vertical twin. I had to order a spring from Sammy Peirce once. Pearse? Pierse? I can't spell..... Ah yea, the good old days. Murph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
