1945 Harley Davidson FL 74" OHV Knucklehead Bobber
Very cool and uncommon year civilian knucklehead.  This bike was sold just as World War II was coming to an end.  Relatively few 1945 knuckle big twins were made.  The title indicates one owner since the 1980's.  
VIN on left case, matching motor belly numbers, cylinders .010 over.  Alcoa 8 rib cam cover.  Heads and rockers all date coded 1945.  I have not opened up the bottom end so I cannot verify fly wheels, internal components, old case repairs or replacement or originality.  Again, the top end is all correct 1945 and the numbers on the cases look correct but you be the expert!
OEM frame.  All casting numbers and tabs present.  OEM inline springer with chromed front leg.  OEM 1946 4 speed transmission.  No tranny case repairs that I can see.  Shifts great, no grinding or slipping.  Wartime metal floorboards (not rubber).  New tires, new front brake
Needs rear brake linkage adjusted and mechanical switch for brake light fixed or replaced.  Front brake and tires not broken in yet.
Only selling to buy a JD.  If anyone knows of a 1925 or 1926 JD please let me know.
Might accept a shovelhead or panhead plus cash in trade.
Ask all questions before buying.  No warranties or guarantees can be offered due to age of bike.  Listed elsewhere so it is possible the auction will end unexpectedly.
