    1947 Knucklehead

    Hi, new to the forum but not to old bikes. Restoring a late 1947 straight leg Knuckle and I am attempting to use the correct tool box mounting bracket 47386-41 does it take the three hole bracket or two hole is it mounted with bolts or welded? I would prefer someone who has and original late 47. Thanks oldblu.

      Chris: I have had Palmer's for many moon's and i have seen original 47's with the tool mount up high and low just attempting to find out what is the majority. Much thanks. oldblu.

        oldblu,
        Mine is mounted low because of the Loctite bags, which I'm told is correct.

          55tmm: thanks for the very informative information, i will be putting loctite bags on mine as well, does yours have a two hole or three hole horizontal bracket and is it welded on or bolted on and hoping you have a late xe-12 frame. this would be most helpful. Thanks again oldblu.

            oldblu,
            The horizontal bracket on mine has 2 holes and is bolted on low, original paint and shows no sign that it was ever mounted to the upper position which has 3 holes in the vertical bracket. My vin is 5_ _ _ _ with early seat and bags, frame has 11 on it.
