Knucklehead information and sources

[tomcat1]

Hello Knucklehead guru's. I've always loved the antique motorcycles and am now in a position to seriously start to build one. I don't believe I have the funds to buy a barn fresh project. So my only option that I see is to build one from sourced parts. I have no idea of sources other than watching ebay or CL, however, I don't want to totally rely on that. I have no connection in the knucklehead world, so that's why I have joined the AMCA. I hope those here can provide advice, perhaps sources, roads or paths to take to get me headed in the right direction. Suggested books, manuals, parts sources. ect.

I realize this will be a long process and perhaps expensive, but I just need to get started sometime, so that time is now. I've tried to email Carl and Matt Olsen, but I guess they haven't embraced the new technology and don't respond to me. Any advice, guidance, suggestions, leads, or mentoring is appreciated. I hope to make some new friends.

regards,
TC

This is the place for information. The Olsen's are also here on occasion.

Read all you can find, go to the meets and Flea Markets, talk to people. Every person I have met at the meets loves this stuff and once you get'm started, sometime it hard to turn them off.
Learn all you can before you dive in.
And above all be patient
Good Luck

The first thing I bought was Bruce Palmer lll restoration book, It covers flatheads, knuckleheads and panheads. great amount of information. Good luck, Woody


ps The Olson's are into in depth deadlines right now from what I have read trying to meet their goals for Sturgis and the Cannonball run. Great guys very talented. Hope this helps also,

Thanks everyone! I do have the Bruce Palmer lll restoration book. In fact, I forgot I had it and bought it a second time.

Matt did finally shoot me an email and they are swamped. I'll probably will get back to them in October when the cannonball is done and things maybe slow down.

I feel the need to clear this up. This wasn't in any way ment to be a complaint or disrespect. It was ment as a tongue in cheek humorous comment in fun. I apologize if this came accross as anything disrespectful. My humor can be very suttle if you don't know me. Sorry for any confusion. Please accept my humble appology.
