[quote]you are right..never really thought about it. BTW the HD Knucklehead motor is my favorite...47 knuck would be my dream bike...sold my 67 generator Shovelhead and boy do I miss it.[/quote]
While only roughly 30,000 Knuckleheads werer ever produced, about 1/2 were '47's making them the most easily obtained. 1947 also saw a complete redesign of the bike with new dash, tail light, tank badges, paint schemes, etc. My dream was to own a '41, first year 74" motor and 2nd year for the big port heads. I settled for the '42 because, well, a nice set of papered cases became available and it is actually a little more scarce than '41's being a war year. The XA fromt end on mine ois perhaps the scarcest part with only 1000 ever made. The '38 & '39 only cam cover is a close second in terms of rarity.
Here she is again just 'cause I love her so...
