  • Hey Everyone!
    Today we are going over 1939 Knuckleheads. The bike featured in this video is a family favorite of ours.
    Between Carl, Matt and our friends, Ruby has gone coast to coast many times and has been a mule of a bike for us! Always a dependable and reliable bike!
    Thanks for watching our video about 1939 Knuckleheads!

    just found your channel... Matt, i gotta say, the Knuckle that you builded for the Born Free it's the most beautiful bike i've ever seen and it's been my desktop background for almost seven years now... i never get tired to watch that Jewel... pure perfection in my eyes, thank you for the inspiration and materializing what i cannot even start to dream (sorry if i mispelled something, i'm italian so english it's not my native language) subbed immediately.

    Beautiful bike! I had no idea that HD have OHV that early, as their flathead 45's were very popular in the military WLA models and their civvy relativeas-John in Texas

    Men these are so good and informative! I hope you can make those bits of glass also. The dies to stamp out the brass are nice! Love ya work guys. Tell me more how it can do a wheelie ?!!
    Can you do a video on Britts flat track Harley

    • @carlscyclesupply
      @carlscyclesupply  Před 2 lety

      Hey Nick! This is Brittney, thanks for commenting! The wheelie is a pretty impressive thing and I've only seen a few knuckleheads in restored condition do wheelies! Matt and I broke his original 36 frame doing wheelies with our chopper friends in St.Paul when we first started dating. That ride home was pretty shaky and slow going. After I'm done and gone through the entire series of knuckleheads, I'll be sure to produce some videos about all our little race bikes. Thanks for watching and thank you so much for all your support!
