Motorcycle Overview
The 1939 EL was a legendary motorcycle famous for establishing Harleys OHV V-twin legacy. The 39 model year is prized by collectors because with this model, Harley Davidson successfully resolved its early oiling issues that plagued the earlier 36-38 models, helping it gain the trust of the buyer as a reliable source of transportation. The 61 cubic inch (1000cc) high compression overhead valve V-Twin created about 40 hp and could achieve speeds near 100 mph. The improved motor was paired up with a 4-speed constant mesh transmission with a hand shifter and a foot clutch and was the only year Harley placed neutral between second and third gear. The bike featured its iconic 'clenched fist' rocker covers, giving the bike the 'Knucklehead' nickname. CONDITION: This is an older restoration and made into someones period-style bobber with mid-40s tank emblems and 40s-style floorboards. Taillight appears to be an older aftermarket beehive taillight. Bike appears to be mostly original with minor chrome accents added at a later date. Leather seat and saddlebags are still soft and pliable, but could use some minor conditioning. Biased ply tires are hard from age and show light oxidation and fading, and would recommend replacement before attempting to ride. We have made no attempt to start this bike, but it does kick over with good compression and transmission shifts through the gears. This motorcycle is being sold as-is with no warranty.
