Short blast to the past about the 1946 FL -
For the first year of increased Knucklehead production following World War II, Harley-Davidson offered an increased (30-degree) neck angle frame, optional fork shock absorbers, off-set forks and a few more chrome pieces. However, a restored 1946 Harley-Davidson, like this one, is sure to have a bit more chrome parts than those originally offered out of the Milwaukee Motor Company's doors in 1946.
With World War II still fresh in people's minds, materials and resources remained hard-to-find. Among those scarce items was chromium for plating motorcycle parts, so Harley-Davidson relied on paint to give its new motorcycles some shine. For instance, the Big Twin's valve tappet guides were painted silver to help give the same bright effect as chrome plating, and wheel rims were given a coat of black paint or a color matching the bike's tins as well. While wartime manufacturing might have limited what Harley-Davidson was able to do when it started shifting back into civilian production, the company was still finding ways to provide its customers with a little bit of flash along with the reliability it had come to be known for.
However, the truth is that none of that really mattered to customers who were eager to just have a brand-new motorcycle, and by year's end, 2,098 customers were treated to new EL Knuckleheads. The FL remained the biggest seller, though, with 3,986 on record as being built and sold that model year. Government sales of 15,000 surplus Model WLA motorcycles meant the war was over, and the public was eager to get out and ride. This 1946 Harley-Davidson FL Knucklehead was purchased by J.C. Burgin in 1996 for his museum, and then restored by Burgin and his team of experts at Vintage Motorcycles Northwest.
