WTB 74in Knucklehead Cylinders

[Jesse]

Hello,

I recently purchased a 47 knucklehead FL engine. The only repop parts are the front and rear cylinders (VTwin Manufacturing). I would like to get a set of OEM cylinders (must be 74in 5 fin) but do not care about year.

Thank you,

Jesse

Jesse If you are going to run the bike why not stick to the VTwin barrels. If there is a weakness in a Knucklehead motorcycle it would have to be the FL barrels. That is why they are so hard to find. I personally would run other than VTwin barrels but they reportedly hold up. I have 3 FL knuckleheads and run either S&S or Flathead Power cylinders.

Thanks for the reply Jerry. I have heard great things about the Flathead Power cylinders. As far as fit, any preference between the S&S and Flathead Power?
