I don't care where the hell they're from. Their love for great bikes is obvious. RESPECT!!!

I don't know how many times I've been here, watching, but mostly listening to this amazing sound. Thanks again for this video!

I can't explain why, but that bike just has so much "character". Sounds and looks awesome.

This sounds so much better than most modern bikes.

Modern bikes? Why even bring modern up, modern bikes dont even belong i. This post. This is a knucklehead. Not some storebought bike of some store bought biker.

These bikes are more beautiful than every bike of Orange County Choppers ... sorry, just my opinion ...

No, that is a scientific fact.

i love that drum solo once it starts!!!

One of the very best looking custom Harleys on the planet, regardless of cash . Less is more

I remember watching this ten years ago , it never gets old . Great video thanks for posting .

I keep coming back to this video... I can listen to this "music" for hours !

They call it globalism.

Now thats a motherfuckin bike

americans ride japanese bikes and japanese ride american bikes

Love these old iron heads... in a class by themselves! Panheads, shovelheads, even the old flatheads are simply awesomeness.... sweet!

I’m in what’s close to the final stages of finishing my knuckle. This guy must have an auto-advance distributor on this beauty. I’m seriously considering going that route again instead of the cable advance which seems really inconsistent for the ignition timing. My panhead runs great with the auto setup and starts easier than this guy’s bike. Just clicked on here for my much needed knucklehead fix,now I’ve opened another whole can of worms. Anyway,thumbs up to whoever owns this OHV and whoever uploaded it,great job folks.

You said it all man, the bike has soul. Ive often tried to figure how to explain this to someone and youve found the right words... Ill try to get some video up of my 59 triumph Bonneville as soon as its complete, 85% right now.

Great job on the foot clutch. I run similar 'parts' for my Harley. Mines 1936-1983 mix. Thanks for sharing!

One of my favorite old Harley Davidson startups on KZread. Rock solid old machines. And a bonus is when the pretty girl wheels her Harley into the scene!

Had to come back and watch again, and again. Baddest bike on YT!!!!!!!!

Nothing but admiration for the Japanese and their Harleys. This sums it up. Utterly unpretentious. Beautiful.

Possibly the best video on youtube.

Now that is a tasteful Harley. A rare breed...

You could almost dance to the tune of that bike!! She's one awesome piece of machinery just to look at! Am hoping to buy similar bike next summer!

so rhythmic, gotta love old school. glad to see American heritage makes its way around the world.

Can you imagine how badass it is to own and ride these bikes in Japan ... unreal

Man, I love that knucklehead! I currently have a Softail, but one of these days I'll have a knucklehead.

The most beautiful engine of them all and the sound is like music!

Love the knuckle~pure beauty and power AAAAA

Damn nice bike ! Love the sound :)

The best sound on KZread.

Som maravilhosooooooooo ! e a moto perfeita !

Nice to see the kids having fun with old bikes.

I've had Knuckles, it must have been warmed-up already! Sweet bike, wish I still had mine.

The most beautiful engine!!!!

I have nothing but respect for you. All your bikes and vids are just great!

I love the way you step up to the plate and build old scholl home grown Scooters. My father used to build bikes that would sit right along side of yours. Same, same,. Good on ya...

AFter a 3 year scrougning, build up based on an 80" flathead, ca 1945, she's on the road. not a chopper,resto, bobber exactlly, just an old world roadster. I love it . but equally love your knuckle and your choking technique! one of the coolest vids on u tube. keep up the great work! William

Both the bikes are really cool looking!! I bet they are fun to ride on nice days.

This bike feels like a bike the owner have simply taken from the back of a garden full of scrap parts, car and bike parts and other unimaginable stuff where it supposly have stood and collected rust, simply done a few changes to make it driveable but kept it in a simple, well used condition, and used what's available and simply drove it away in a matter of few hours. It feels like one of those bikes who looks like they've been assembled in a few hours to a few weeks, using what's available.

That is a beautiful machine

i love that sound

Thats the most good looking bike Ive ever seen! And I dont think I will see a more good looking bike then this one either.

Bad-ass bike dude. Love the classics for sure and that thing is ROCK SOLID! I love my fxwg, but I'd love to have a knuckle in my garage too!

nice knucklehead ! i am getting my shovel next week ! :)

Nice bike! Good to see that Harley's influence isn't just confined to the US.

love that sound !!!

That sounds so nice!!!

@moruller You must be looking at the chain guard. Both the primary and drive are chains. Although, it's not unheard of for someone to swap out for a belt drive on a older bike especially when they're running a white wall in the rear.

The sounds coming out of that knuck is some of the good old USA's finest!!!!

Freakin' AWESOME! Gotta keep hitting "play" till my ride is out of the shop!! Grrrrr...

I really like this bike. Espically the slick rear tire, nice touch.

best looking bike ive seen.

Are you not looking around besides this beauty they have plenty of beautiful bikes around look around. omg

I come back to this vid from time to time just to get my fix of that sweet sound. And it kind of makes me proud to know that for all the quality that Japanese bikes have, their own people relish the traditional Harley experience. They actually get it! BTW, they love the culture of the American west like cowboys and ranching.

the bike is fantastic, the sound is fantastic, i do miss the kickstarter my first hd had, - thanks to hd and these japanese guys & dolls, your vintage bikes are great :-)

Didn't have too much trouble starting it... and not a very big guy either. Too bad that bikes don't have kick starters any more...

Best theft deterrent there is

Wicked knuckle! Extra rare to see a Japanese plate on it. Very cool.

@snowbox22 Well, If I'm seeing things right, the front brake is where it usually has always been, the back brake is on the right side, and the clutch is where the shifter is, but the problem is, I don't see no suicide shift, so who knows?

omg-love this-the REAL DEAL!

stunningly beautiful machine

She is beautiful!!

Sweet running knuck. I wouldn't change a thing. The Sporty is cool too.

love your bike dude!!!!!

now that's a fucking bike. the japanese have single handedly kept the HD scene alive for all of us. pay homage now.

FREAKING AWESOME DUDE!!!!!

wicked ride brother, keep it in nice shape!

It makes me happy to see that people around the globe enjoy some good ol' american iron. :) Thank you for sharing!

i love your bike man!!

There is a whole "bobber" sub-culture in Japan. They really take pride in their machines. Real old-school classy rides, not like the hideously painted, chromed up, bolt on crap we see in "custom" magazines over here. I would be honored to ride with them.

@opbk88: 82 hp is a lot for a Sportster considering that they put out about 40 hp from stock. Plus, Brando rode a Thunderbird in The Wild One, which only had about 30 hp.

Super,,, I love all three of them

One of the best looking bikes I've ever seen

Awesome knuckle!

Sounds great!

Both bikes look great !

This is why we love HD :-)

looks and sounds tough

WOW! Great looking/sounding bike.

stupendo !!! splendido sound !!!

Right, the name knucklhead is jsut the generation of engine that a bike uses. so any bike from a certain era would have that generastions engine. Like it was Panhead, knucklehead, Shovel Head, Blockhead (evo), and Fathead(twin cam).

This is the best Kuck of all time. So perfect.

that bike is freakin awesome!!! and then the girl shows up with the Ironhead!!! TOO COOL!!!

I love those old beasts!

love that open chain primary.

lovely bike , what front end is that ?

Sounds like a boat! Wonderful!

sugoi desune!!!!! absolutely brilliant!!!

Best kick start ever.

damn no springs, thats a hard ride man! Sweet!

So cool sounds great!

@snowbox22 I think its a foot clutch on the left hand side, if you look closely when it swings to the left hand side of the bike, you can see it infront of the foot rest :)

Nicest Knucklehead I`ve ever seen¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ A real dream.

beautiful bike man..respect!

Thats the coolest most brutal awesome bike ive ever seen!!!!!

thats the most beautiful bike ive ever seen! i thought the older ones were rather ugly but that is a beauty!! just imagine, that was the yamaha R-1 of its day

@joanzzer its there to prevent the bike from being a unicycle =P

your bobber is just perfect man!!!!!

I loved the great smile from the girl. ☺

@snakecreek82 Do you know if thats a Hoosier frontrunner? Been trying to find it, but the ones I find are all slicks. Cheers.

Som maravilhoso !

soy de Costa Rica y me gusta ver sus Videos Gracias

the guy that thought up the idea of taking to cylinders off a airplane motor and putting it between two wheels was a genius,i'm glad Harley thought of it,Davidson helped,the knuck looks great,enjoy,never let go,you'll be sorrier than sorry

The old ones originally had open carbs. Its fine as long as you know how to clean them
