History of the Knucklehead :

The 1947 Harley Davidson Knucklehead with a sidecar is a timeless icon of American motorcycle history. This classic bike exudes vintage charm and rugged elegance, capturing the spirit of post-World War II America.

The Knucklehead, named for its distinctive, bulbous rocker box covers that resemble a clenched fist, is renowned for its powerful V-twin engine. In 1947, Harley Davidson had refined this engine to deliver impressive performance for its time. With a displacement of 61 cubic inches (hence the “61” designation), it produced a hearty rumble and plenty of torque.

Paired with the motorcycle is a matching sidecar, adding both functionality and character. The sidecar provides extra seating, making it a perfect choice for long rides with a companion or for carrying additional cargo. It’s also adorned with classic Harley Davidson styling cues, from its fender skirts to the leather upholstery.

The 1947 Knucklehead is notable for its elegant lines and chrome accents, showcasing the craftsmanship of the era. The tank features the iconic Harley Davidson emblem, proudly announcing its heritage. The deep, lustrous paintwork, often seen in classic colors like black or deep red, adds to its aesthetic appeal.

This vintage motorcycle and sidecar combination continues to capture the imagination of motorcycle enthusiasts and collectors, serving as a testament to Harley Davidson’s enduring legacy in the world of motorcycling.
