The 1942 Knucklehead model FL is the high performance 74 cubic inch 48 horsepower machine that was advertised as weighing 535 pounds and capable of a top speed of 105 mph.
Only 799 civilian model Harley Big Twins were built in 1942 due to the US entering the war. Wonder how many are still around and running and not in personal museums or private
collections? That makes this a very rare, low production machine. These pre-war OHV Knuckleheads and seldom come up for sale. Here is one with great VIN stamps and pad, and matching belly numbers. Pretty much all the 1942 Harley Big Twins (Knuckleheads and Flatheads) would have been built prior to the December bombing of Pearl Harbor, because after that most of Harley's activities were in support of the war effort.
A regular rider, this FL kickstarts easily, idles well, shifts and rides as it should. Decent brakes, good charging, nice handling, and no mechanical surprises. Most of the bike is genuine Harley-Davidson parts, other than the aftermarket speedometer, floorboard inserts, 12-volt
generator (for better lights and night riding) and muffler. Easy to switch back to 6-volts if desired. Genuine Harley headlight, genuine Harley forks, frame, tins (repainted), tank badges, Linkert carb, engine and transmission.
Looks to be real Harley air cleaner and saddle. It starts right up with little effort, idles and runs well through all the gears. Tracks smooth and straight down the road and is about as issue-free as you could expect from a 77 year old motorcycle. Clean title.
