Mechanics & Owners Guide to 1941-1959 Harley-Davidson O.H.V. Big Twins

The Knucklehead motor was replicated by Tedd Cycle, Inc. and released on January 9, 2002; along with the (Linkert carburetor-intake port) OEM-style Pan cylinder heads in three models: The 1948-'54 (plumber manifold); the 1955-'62 (O-Ring manifold); and the 1963-'65 (external oiler) style.

Our shop manual was written for existing "runners"; and for "builders" of Knuckle & Panhead motorcycles using new, replicated parts. Some topics covered in the step-by-step procedures are explained better than the Harley manual, or the excellent, photo-ladened, Clymer's Panhead manual. When other manuals suggest, "replacing the clutch hub liner..." we show you how, and the tools and parts necessary. Our Electrical chapter is reported to be easier to use, when testing generator output and troubleshooting problems. We suggest having a library of every OHV Big Twin manual ever printed.
