Harley Davidson EL Knucklehead. Special Sport Solo -- 61 OHV Big Twin.
Originally restored in 2006 by a well know Midwest Vintage Harley restorer, this magnificent example received an upgraded level of restoration in 2009. It is now one of the finest examples of a correctly restored 40 EL in the country. It started out as an amazingly complete original 40 EL that was found essentially complete and retains its original unmolested frame and front fork, complete matched case engine, all the important 1-year only parts and all original sheet metal. Tanks, fenders, chain guard, 18 inch wheels, brakes, lights, bars, motor guard, horn, speedo, cats eyes, etc. all original except for the correct reproduction air cleaner and gas caps. The restored engine starts and runs easily and entire drive train runs strong and smooth. The bars are original early brazed Hollywood bars.
Using the Palmer III book as a base guide for correctness, several AMCA judges from around the country were consulted to review and comment on every part and finish on this machine. All comments were considered and several improvements were made including locating, restoring and installing minor parts and correcting certain finishes, completing the restoration to excellent standards it demonstrates today. This machine was featured in 2009 at the Harley Davidson Motor Company Museum "Wall of Fame" photo collection. In September 2009 it received the prestigious "First In Class -- Historically Significant Motorcycle" at the Fairfield Concours d'Elegance in Fairfield, Connecticut. This Knucklehead is registered and titled in Connectict.
