  • This 1941 harley Davidson EL motorrcycle is ready to be put back on the road. This is the starting procedure for an EL Knuck. This classic pre-war motorcycle was restored in the early 90's and placed in a HD Museum. It is a stunning example of the beauty of the Knucklehead motor5cycle even though some say this has too much "Bling".

      No Harley today is any better than that 1941. I have an 02 softail CVO 1450, but I wish now I would have found a shovel head cruiser and either rebuilt it or bought a low mileage one. Its less things to go wrong and does the same thing. Nothing has gotten better for the consumer, but instead is more unnecessary junk to go wrong so that marketers can make more money
