A truly Stellar Machine!!!

I still want to add a Knucklehead to my collection, but after many attempts, I haven't gotten lucky yet.

My mate who had a Harley dealership for decades is so impressed with these models Daniel with the level of detail, he started rattling off a lot of info that flew right over my head.

Bonjour Jim,

Superb engine indeed and, like all Jin ones, very tricky to tune  ;)

Given the small size of the carburetor, the needle screw may not be finely tapered enough to manage the amount of fuel injected into the cylinders.

Great video, Jim!

Love these V-Twin Harley Engines from Jin.

I have a Knucklehead inbound and can hardly wait to give it a run!

They are just awesome engines Gil with incredible detail. A little fiddling and you can really have them rumbling nicely.
