Overview � 1946 Harley Davidson E �Knucklehead� -- Sons of
Anarchy�Hollywood Bike!
This 1946 Harley Davidson E Knucklehead motorcycle was used on the
Sons of Anarchy show. This HD �E� Knucklehead motorcycle was rented
by the studio for the filming and later sold to the current owner.
This is�THE�bike shown in the Sons of Anarchy clubhouse and
purported to be John Teller�s motorcycle. This E motorcycle is a
good runner and ready for the next curator. Current owner has all
of the necessary paperwork to confirm this bike's identity and
previous owner. This bike has minimal defects and was last tuned or
ridden spring of 2016. � This is not a factory original 1946
Knucklehead. This Knucklehead was built specifically as a rider
with a blend of the builder's favorite features from the '45-'51
model years. Although it was built for a private party, this
knucklehead represents just the way the original Sons of Anarchy
President (John Teller) would have liked it. � Gathering parts for
this icon began more than thirty years ago, before reproduction
parts were available. The engine is the original Knucklehead motor,
with original stock HD Knucklehead cylinders. The belly numbers
match and are intact. The Springer front end is also '46
Knucklehead. The wishbone frame is an original '48 Panhead frame.
The gas tanks are from a '51 Panhead. Other Panhead items include
the mouse-trap clutch and the 2-light dash. � This bike was built
as a blend of John Teller's personal riding and styling
preferences, just like any hard riding 1%er would have done in
1970. �The bike is equipped exactly as it appeared during six
seasons of the S of A television series.� � Please send us
