1941 Harley Davidson Knucklehead Fl Motorcycle on 2040-motos

Harley-Davidson Other description

Pre-War 1941 FL very low serial number. I am the second owner.  This bike was professionally built by myself with 30 years of experience in restoring, rebuilding Harleys.  I built it for my own use and it is completely rebuilt.  All of the major parts are original on this bike. Some reproductions - exhaust system, horn, head light and rear chain guard are the only large reproduction parts. All of the engine castings, etc. are the ones originally installed on this bike when manufactured except the following: The engine's right hand case has a casting number of Feb. 1940.  It has the correct unaltered belly number. The original left case would have been a short rib case. They were prone to breakage when used with the 74" engines. This case was replaced long ago (the bike had 70,000 miles on it so it was certainly ridden by the original owner). A dealership installed a new case with the casting number Feb. 1947.The original numbers were stamped correctly except a round back 6 was used instead of a straight back 6. If this case was replaced in the 50's or the 60's it could or very well have a round back 6 as they were used at that time. There is no belly number on this case.

I have a copy of the original PA title and the original envelope post date of January 1941.

There is nothing in this bike that will disappoint you!
