That idle RPM is amazing for such a small engine! This sounds incredible too

@waynejones6144

The low idle is caused by the large flywheel that is on the primary side that is being used to start and run it.

I love the little spark plug and spark plug boots too cute! This could make for an amusing generator for lipo packs.

Most incredible is how closely this model engine follows the real knucklehead engine in is construction details. I worked on an Arlen Ness blown 93 inch knucklehead from 77 to 80, as a young Marine stationed in Hawaii, and have worked on such fifty years now. That is incredibly accurate sounding to a full scale "knucklehead". This is a fine follow on to the very accurate panhead engine that's been available for some time, thanks for showcasing this for all of us.

Wow, a 93 inch knuck back then must've been something else, especially with a blower. I had an EL replica with a "93 S&S about ten years ago and it was real fun to ride. Took a lot of people by surprise. I loved the old builders, Hunziker, Ness, Denver and Ernie Johnson were my idols as a kid. I still have the Black Gold blown 750 Honda poster that hung in my bedroom when I was a kid, those rectangular exhaust pipes were sick!

@@genefogarty5395 I rode that Ness blown knuckle for a couple years, couldn't keep it running, constantly stuck the front exhaust valve. I didn't realize at the time, I could simply make exhaust guides I couldn't buy at the time. I "nursed it" prepping it for a run, and knowing it would get ten or fifteen miles and need the valve redone. I saw the bike again and again for twenty five or thirty years. Never came close to "topping it out", way too much power for the chassis.

It needs to break in, do not go adjustment happy with these engines. Harley engines have a loping idle by nature, this is made to duplicate the characteristics of the 45 degree Harley V-twin.

I've been looking at these all year and am amazed at how much they sound (in scale) to the actual Knucklehead. Very curious to hear the Shovelhead!! The old Harley engines have such a unique sound, the manufacturer of these scale engines is really on to something.
