Your so knowledgeable I would love to have u pick apart my bikes. The flathead I have is supposed to be all original 1940 flathead 80. My dad bought it in the 70s ran it till he lost a piston and parked it. Been sitting ever since but he has given it to me just working on getting it shipped out to me in AZ. Would love to meet up with u hope u see and respond to one of my posts. If not keep the videos coming love learning from you
Severely underrated video. Even though this vid is 4-5 years old, as a new subscriber, I hope there’s more and newer content on these bikes. This is awesome history.
I have a green 63 Schwinn. Several months ago it was stolen. Aug. 27th. I see someone riding it, I ran over grabbed the bars and started yelling get off my bike! He said he gave 80 bucks for it. I gave him my last 5 bucks and he walked away before the cops got there. My bike is a cool bike too.
First time I've heard it explained & totally agree I have my gramps then dads 40 knuckle and compared every detail to the one in the harley museum in Milwaukee and found subtle differences. Seen welded necks and thought they've been repaired ? , my question is I have an offset handlebar but not offset at the bottom of the tree. ?
@@HuntingHarleys it's not on the 40 . Some project parts I was given, is the bearing stem straight on an offset? This one's inline at bottom of the tree but offset at the top , thanks
+Roger S sold, years ago. that's what happens when you buy and sell bikes, the bikes get sold. Unfortunately, due to market forces, I'm for now, out of the bike buying business.
+HuntingHarleys I came across your site 2 days ago and I started watching videos and I liked what I saw so I must of watched 50 so far a lot of great info. and I loved all the bikes you showed if you out of the buying bike business what you do now? you should still a few and try again if you got good stuff people will come.
I've spent the past year struggling to get my money back on anything I've bought and taking months to do it. Right now, I'm living off selling my collection, one at a time. The market is D E A D, for the moment
+HuntingHarleys that's fucked up, well I like your videos a lot of great information you give out, I feel bad that you have to sell your collection just to survive, where all the friends when you have 100's of bikes. I got a question for you maybe a dumb one but you been around Harley's you know I have a 2003 night train it came with a spoked front wheel and a solid back I wanted to get a spoked for the back to match the front, few guys have told me its better the solid on the back what you thing Tod
Do the Rear Legs always have a Casting #? The reason I ask is I have Rear Legs that have a XC-15A Casting #, and then I have another Knuckle Rear Legs with No #'s.
+Rexjunett as I mentioned, on any of the assembled machines, that I have at this moment in time, I cannot even read the front leg casting numbers (which are supposedly always there). While I have had a fair number of springer's and machines with springer's, I have never noticed or heard about rear leg casting number's on any (that of course does not mean some did not have them). I would love to see a picture of the leg and the numbers. huntingharleys@gmail.com Is this an I beam springer by any chance? Casting numbers were used in a forge, for a date code of some type. Unless the springer leg in question has a cast part, as far as I am aware, they should not have them.
As alway you do one hell of a kick ass job sorting the facts. You have a great talent!!!
Thank You Again
+Ken Bronski thanks Ken!

It's the tree that makes it offset or inline

+larmarbev high and low, 7- 30K
Where there chrome springers from Harley for knuckleheads?
Absolutely, pay the money they'd chrome the entire motorcycle pre 1941. Than chrome became hard to get, because of WWII
what happen to all the bikes you head, on the earlier videos you have a shit load of bikes where are they?

Just a matter of what you like. Black Bikes makes some good after market wheels, or get a stock one. Personally, I love the way a solid rear looks
