Here is my Co- Knuck. I originally built this back in 1986. there have been a lot of copies since then. No! they didn't use Knuckle cases for Pans. Pans used Japanese engineering and castings! A Knucklehead was the last American Motorcycle made by Harley-Davidson!

So  maybe i read this wrong, last american hd ? Whaa?

[Conuck]

Yep! With all American parts. No switches or other parts from other country's.

Super 'E' has a 1-7/8" (47.6mm) throat at the butterfly and a 1-9/16" (39.6mm) venturi

Actually it was a 12 pack and $40.00 because I got two sets of pipes. Had them made in Wisconsin Rapids.

lol. she was starting to get like that. But we needed the money, and that was the easiest thing to get rid of. I love it tho, even tho its kinda of a bitch at time with the traffic here. The other drivers on the road are totally oblivious to you. In South florida they really are a death trap. Hopefully i can get one again when we move north a bit.
