1938 Harley-Davidson Knucklehead 1000cc Pre War for Sale

The 38 has been restored back to original condition.

Replaced both fenders with original sheet metal and since it had wrong cylinders, ended up rebuilding the entire top end and transmission (all new gears). Approx 1100 miles since rebuild. Bottom end was correctly rebuilt in 90. This is an early “E” Model and has early heads. The 1938

Sales Brochure and late 37 Enthusiast show the early heads with the plugs. It has the narrow primary with belt drive. I have small spacers between the inner and outer primary to allow for some cooling/venting. As seen on early 38 models, the tool box mounting holes have the block type mounting instead of circular swage mounting.

Correct front end with #3 front legs. I did a LOT of research as I was build. I did a LOT of research as I was building this and there is always some kind disagreement with the experts on different details. This is one of my favorite bikes to ride and only selling it because I don't have enogh time to enjoy her. I built this bike to ride. The only reproduction

parts are the air horn, exhaust system, brake switch, parkerized nuts and bolts, gas caps, and saddlebags. Left the pinstriping on the rims from the 90 restoration.

The Tanks do not have decals they were painted by hand by an artist. Great running bike with some typical oil weeping from top end.
