I used to restore these old girls, I had silly nostalgic memories when he looked in the oil tank and I could imagine the oil flow pumping back up into the tank, how weird is that,? Such a satisfying thing to see after a rebuild or a pump restoration, I must be getting old, maybe time to start restoring again.. I used to dynamic balance the cranks in old knuckles and shovels to get them ticking over nice, forged squish top pistons and balance everything, they vibrate less then, yep, I need to clean out the shed and look for a project, thanks guys..

@@kung-foo4721 So in short, your iPad allows you to get through life without acquiring any knowledge through the experience of trial and error, developing critical thinking skills, the satisfaction of problem-solving on your own merits, the development of intuition and maybe a few more things on the list of what you'll never achieve. Next time you Google, enjoy the instant gratification of the real life efforts and experience of others amassed without a battery-powered brain that requires frequent recharging. The time period you're looking down your nose at is providing you with what you need. I think you're confusing "easier" with "better".

Thanks for all the kind words. This is an original paint bike that spent the last 50 or so years under a tarp. It came with a family album of photos dating back to 1948. I have pictures of the bike at Laconia in 1948 and 1949 and a copy of the original owners AMA card issued at Laconia as well as the entry ticket. It's more than just another Knucklehead. It's a tiny piece of history. The gentleman in the video rebuilt the engine and tranny. I totally disassembled the rest of the bike, cleaned it, replaced bearings and bushings where necessary and reassembled to what you see here. Some of you may recognize the man on the bike. But out respect for his privacy, his name is being withheld. He is a recognized Knucklehead expert. We had just finished the assembly that day.
