Tim's 1947 EL Knucklehead is the winner of the December bike of the month contest and a great look scoot it is!

These are pictures of a 1947 EL Knucklehead. I bought it as a basket case long about 1990. It's been completely gone through from one end to the other. The motor and transmission were rebuilt by a friend of mine. She has S&S 74" flywheels which brings the displacement to about 68". Gary Woodford at Milwaukee Iron restored the frame in 1996. I did all the assembly which included some handmade parts and all the hard fuel and oil lines as well as the electrics. The wires are cloth covered. The carburetor is a brass linkert M78. I mounted a period brass fire extinguisher on the left rear frame rail and she sports other brass trim such as the brass shift ball, the fork spring top cap, the headlight and horn bracket, the kicker pedal, battery wingnuts and the license plate trim. The paint is Xotic dark red candy over greek gold and House of Kolor Snow white pearl over white shimrin with gold pin striping. I did all the paint in a small shed there at the house. Being candy paint, it changes color depending on the light or as you walk around it in the sun. It goes from Burgundy & cream to a fire engine red & bright white pearl. She's a foot clutch and tank shift ride that's a real pleasure to take down the road. It's a lot different than your normal hand clutch, foot shift deal, it's like learning how to ride all over again. I hope yall think she's as pretty as I do.

Here is what it looked like when Tim bought the old Knuckle

Nice looking Scoot
