Harley-Davidson Other description
up for auction is a 1946 Harley knucklehead custom which is very old and complete from it's build 40 yrs ago...this bike was built out of a stock 46 el knucklehead by famous painter, builder, fabricator, Kelsey Martin, who is still very much involved in custom work, mostly with cars these days...a guy who is like the Arlen Ness of the east coast, has been in many custom mags, who rode in the descendants, a bike club out of salem mass. back in the day. The guy I bought this from rode with him in the club, and is a fine mechanic, and stand up guy, who is always at our A.M.C.A. national meets. This bike appears to be built from a stock el, as there is cp 1035 hardware all over it, and the frame is a customized straight leg 41-46 big twin Harley, with the stock transmission, primary, rear brake, clutch,...generator,oil tank, and a very nice running stock 1946 el knucklehead motor with correct linkert carb, and nice factory correct numbers with no alterations or repairs.,except for a nice 1939 cam case cover.Gas tank is a period custom sportster type that has been narrowed to fit the slim profile of this light build, and with the hand clutch which works and shifts smoothly, it is just too much fun to ride. Headlight 'taillight brakelight work fine, generator works great,so Iv'e been taking this out on the interstate a night when there is plenty of room to let the shaft out There is no sound like a knucklehead motor with drag pipes...the original Bates solo seat with the tag underneath works well, and you sit so low on this bike, you can walk it around while sitting on it. The bike is piece of undisturbed history that will always appreciate in value, and can be the beginning of a stock 1946 el if you wish to collect those parts while riding this bike as is...... Comes with a clear New Hampshire title and a nice period king and queen seat...I reserve the right to end this auction early as the bike is for sale locally....questions call 1-207-774-1229 .......shipping is up to you....folks with zero bid history need to contact me or bids will be cancelled...deposit ot 1,500 due whthin 48hrs of winning auction....................

I'm getting many calls about this bike...so I'll try to answer questions...this bike was put together from a stock 46' EL 43 years ago, so there are no aftermarket parts on it..... the motor is a stock bore stock el with the correct number linkert carb...it has a clear n.h. title and the belly numbers match.......

A Man of LOVE
Fri, 24 Oct 2008I had a unique opportunity this week to sit down with Oliver Shokouh, the founder of the Love Ride, only days before the 25th anniversary of the purportedly largest one-day rally in the world, kicks-off this coming Sunday, October 26.

Not only does he head-up this massive event, he’s also busy running the very busy and successful Harley-Davidson/Buell of Glendale (California).
