The Knuckle engine, or “61 OHV” as the Harley-Davidson factory originally called it, is a beautiful classic choice for many of today’s customs. In its 74” version it has enough punch (45 hp) to satisfy a lot of our riding needs, especially when placed in a rigid frame. “Nickled Knuckle” is a fine example of a custom built to emphasize the beauty of the engine that Harley started to produce in 1936 to motor its motorcycles. Stumbled on this one hand-built by Bill Dodge at Blings Cycles while at Biketoberfest. Blings frame, 1941 Knuckle engine, Baker tranny, front end of a Dyna narrow Glide, Tech Cycles belt drive, both front wheel is 23″ x 3″, rear is 18″ x 5.5″, Brembo brakes and controls, Bling Glass Paxx exhaust, etc.
