The Harley-Davidson Knucklehead Years 1936-1947

Comprehensive Harley-Davidson Knucklehead Literature and Model Information for Enthusiasts

This collection offers the essential factory literature, model information, and Harley-Davidson Knucklehead data for all enthusiasts and collectors. The work by Steve Slocombe includes a four-volume book series totaling 1,900 pages, dedicated exclusively to the overhead-valve Harley-Davidson models from 1936 to 1947.

The focus is on contemporary documentation, extensive photographic material, and detailed text entries, rather than technical restoration guides. These Harley-Davidson Knucklehead books are ideal for motorcycle restorers, Harley-Davidson collectors, and hobbyists seeking historical model information.

The individual volumes are organized by calendar years, which do not always align exactly with the model years. Each volume begins with an overview of production at the Harley-Davidson factory, followed by a listing of technical changes for that specific model year. The series also includes dealer publications, brochures for new models, and reprints of all enthusiast magazines published during those years.

At the end of each volume, you'll find production numbers, references to further literature, and specific details about the Harley-Davidson Knucklehead models. This book series is the perfect resource for historical data, model history, and original documents for anyone looking to elevate their Knucklehead restoration or collection to a new level.
