Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Hey everyone, thanks for checking out this video we made about 1938 Harley-Davidson Knuckleheads!
The period correct 1938 Knucklehead bobber featured in this video was built by Matthew Olsen of Carl's Cycle Supply in 2021.
The video and pictures were all shot with an iPhone 12 Pro Max and edited by me, Ms. Brittney Olsen! I'm super new to all video production and editing stuff, so thank you for all of your kind words of support and for leaving us comments.
The Harley-Davidson advertising is an original article from 1938 from our personal archives. We took a picture of the ad to share the authentic style of this era of Harley-Davidson with you. Enjoy!

    This is INCREDIBLE! Love hearing Matt’s insights on the sentiments with the tank and mentorship from Kenny. And that hill climber picture is so freaking cool!

    Wagner's book is excellent. Fantastic research talking to the old timers about the bikes and the activities they participated in.

    The "bullet/wing" decals along with the lines through those tank decals and fenders, Harley-Davidson kept the "streamlining" styling that was popular all through the 1930s. The 1930s OHV models were prime examples of classic American styling. Likewise for Indian motorcycles. Thanks for a great informative video.

    Hi Matt, so nice to see that you are building bobber's in addition to the correct restorations that you and your Dad are well known for. As I remember I am pretty sure the first bobber you built was a blue/silver 46 FL for me around 10 years ago. We started with a nice restored bike and turned it into a super cool period correct post war knuckle bobber. Regrettably I sold it and sure wish I had of kept it. It came out great. Maybe it's time for me to build another one. Take care, J.J.

    We were excited to share the process of the frame for Matt’s 1938 EL bobber. It’s crazy to see how it started and how it finished. I remember seeing Matt ride down the highway during its first test run and thought man that bike sure runs straight for how bent it started out as!

    Just liked and subscribed, what a great channel. I just bought a 46 EL Knuckle and am awaiting its arrival and hope to learn a bit about these old bikes from your channel. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. I'm going to email your shop about supplying me a Buddy seat spring set up to clip on the saddle seat if you sell them.

    So what happened about the buddy seat spring set up matt, You replied to my email and said you would get some out for me, I even rang you from here in Oz. I said I would like to buy a set from you. Still awaiting a reply from last email a week ago. If there is a problem a short email reply would do.
