Speedo and Dash
The speedo is OEM (correct for '48 to 52') and rebuilt and John Bordas in the States. The dash is also OEM with a prefect OEM GEN/OIL glass and fitted with a neutral light switch so the bike cannot be started in gear with the electric start for obvious safety reasons. Speedometers rebuilt by John fetch over £1,000.

Fenders, Rack, Bags, Trims & Taillights
The rear fender is made by The Cyclery with exact shaping and 3-piece construction (spot welded side panels) of the original factory part. This fender alone costs around £1,400. The front fender is by Cannonball and costs around £500. The rear rack is an original OEM '39 and these are super rare and in my opinion the best looking racks. Worth around £700 with the correct fixings. The rear light is OEM Tomb stone light with original glass and OEM rear chrome bumper with nice patina. Both front and rear fender eagle trims are OEM. The front is brass and looks amazing and the rear is also brass but with chrome over the top. It could be polished up to match. Again, there's quite a bit of money in trims and racks! The saddle bags are nice soft leather which I converted and attached the half moon plates and decorated with vintage brass stars. 

Faber Cycles Handlebars, Top Fork Clamp and Risers
Fitted with Stubby Speedster handlebars by Faber Cycles which I've converted to work on an S&S carb with a standard pull throttle. The control wires run through the handlebars. The top fork clamp is bronze cast and the Stelling & Hellings risers are also bronze by Faber Cycles. The complete set costs over £2,000.

Wheels, Forks and Brakes
The wheels are super nice OEM 1940's Kelsey-Hayes 18's star hubs with stainless spokes and Coker vintage tyres and have been professionally balanced and trued by Bob Wylde's in Leeds. Samwel springer chrome forks with ride control, Samwel dual leading shoe springer front brake and a rear mechanical brake by W&W. The brake lever is by The Cyclery and a very nice reproduction of the 40's brake seen on Knuckleheads. Also, has a Delco Remy Horn and correct headlight/horn mounting.

Clutch, Primary & Footboards
Fitted with a Performance Pro Clutch by Rivera Primo. This combined with the N1 Shifter makes operating the tank shift as smooth as butter! It's the best combination for tank shift with ratchet top. Costs over £700 for the Pro Clutch. The primary drive is belt drive by Rivera Primo worth around £1,000. The outer primary tin and derby cover is OEM Knucklehead with parkerized screws. The footboard tops are custom made polished stainless with Harley Davidson engraved with parkarised extensions by Strange Bird.

Headers and Mufflers
The header pipes and mufflers are by Gasbox in the States. I've converted the headers to 3 bolt flanges so they are fixed nice and tight no leaks. The muffler is the rocket fin seamed version by Gasbox which is an authentic reproduction of the original muffler with correct details like the spot-welded bottom seam. These are very hard to tell from the factory equipment and accepted by the AMCA on restored motorcycles. Both the headers and muffler have been professionally ceramic coated in graphite black which is much more hard wearing and doesn't flake off like paint. Probably around a £1,000 parts/cermaic coating.

Carb & Air Cleaner
The carb is S&S Super E and has been fully rebuilt (great performance combined with the STD heads) and has a quick release plug for draining float bowl, a custom made air cleaner cover by Tom Fork in Japan. The finned design matched the fins of the cam cover.

Seats, T-bar and Lights
Super cool OEM '39/40 Knucklehead solo seat with OEM under-the-seat '49 guide lights which I've wired up to the rear brake light. The T-bar is OEM and has the correct pin spring. 

Ignition, Generator and Wiring
Fitted with an E-Spark electronic ignition (so no points and condensor to worry about), Accel coil and leads which makes kick starting easy should you wish to kickstart the bike. The bike has been completely rewired with vintage wiring and cloth loom. All done properly (crimped, soldered and heat shrunk) and the bike has been converted to 12V with a Cycle Electric Generator. The E-Spark system with coil and leads costs over £1,000 plus the generator costs of over £700.

Battery & Box
Fitted with a 12 Cell Antigravity Lithium battery and housed in a Cannonball battery box and lid with brass wing nuts and vintage cloth wiring tucked inside the horse shoe oil tank. The battery box has a lower section which houses the Cannonball electric starter relay. All done properly.
 
Windshield & Lights
Fitted with a Hanson Roll-Up Windshield with an extra set of clamps which allows the windshield to be fitted to the narrower Faber speedster handlebars. In its lower position the screen tucks on the handlebars and you are "in the wind", but rolled-up it almost provides the protection of a regular windshield. Cost over £1,200 with the additional clamps. Fitted with Springer headlamp, visor, bar and spotlights all fully working.The ignition switch is brass and comes with 2 sets of keys.

OEM Rocker Pedals - nice condition and works great.

Other bits forgot to mention include: Crash Bars front and rear powdercoated black, wrecking crew chain guard, brass HD fire extinguiher, 40's vintage mirror, NOS vintage rear mud flap with jewels, very nice HD packarized exhaust boot guard...I'm sure there's lots of other bits I've missed but have a look at the photos for details. 

If you've never ridden a tank shift foot clutch, this particular setup with the N1 Shifter and straight slot gate is easier and safer to learn. Heal down to disengage the clutch and toe to go! All the way forward on the shifter lever for neutral. And if in a panic, you can disengage the clutch by pressing the pedal down on your heal. There's no advance and retard to worry about and the throttle operates like a normal bike. I'm happy to give some lessons but only after the buyer has paid!
