Why do you love Knuckleheads?

And Big Pete will keep it running for you!

I am into Knuck's because my Dad was into them. He claimed that a 61 would run cool and smooth all day and outlast any 74 or 80. He rode it many times out west and had 80 some thousand miles on it before getting rid of it.....which he regretted many times over. I believe he had 30 or 40 thousand on it before changing plugs. The motor was never touched either which when people told him they were rebuilding there's after 5 or 10 thousand he could not understand that.I'll tell ya more later.

The conventional wisdom is that the real knuck riders like the 61.
Mine's a 61 lower with 74 upper.
Very sweet runner.
Is that Downingtown, PA WackyJack??

[wackyjack]

Yes, Charlie it is Downingtown,Pa. I have lived here just about all my life. I am in the process of restoring a '47 61 cubic as my Dad would have called it. It is going to be a real project but I think worth it in the end....if there is an end!!

I'm right up the road where 23 crosses 100.
Let me know if you need a hand.
Unfortunately, unemployment has caused me to dump 99% of my parts, but I've been riding a knuckle for years and know my way around them.

I have a friend who lives on 345 si I know right where you are. I am going to take you up on the help if you don;t mind. I still need a speedo(good luck right) and handlebars as they are my main needs but I know I will need some little stuff too. Thanks in advance. Jack
