Vehicle Description
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.
