Knuckle frame

I've got a knuckle frame with a pan motor in it out of curiosity I'd be interested to know what year the frame is, could any of you gents help out please?

Post a pic - can't do much without a picture especially if it has been modified a lot.

A Pan engine won't fit in a Knuck frame without serious modification.

Can't get the pictures to take, can send them on to anyone who can help. While I'm on can't find much info on the S&S 103" knuckle engine is it high compresion, am I going to be able to kick it and will it blow my 4 speed apart?

Thanks Chris and Pa sent them again, if you don't get them would you be kind enough to mail me at ttboy1962@hotmail.co.uk and maybe it'll go as a reply

I received the photos. But I can't see the seatpost tube behind the rear head of the front motormount clearly in any of them.

I'll take some more tomorrow, the seat tube is bashed in to clear the rear head though.

To be done correctly, if there is such a way to goober a frame, the front motor mount need to be lowered. The Panhead front mount is lower than the Knuck and the mounts won't sit flush of the frame unless the front mount is lowered.

I received them as well. Let me know which you don't want on here. I'll remove them for you. Pa

Later 41 to 45. Jerry

Jerry,
If you will notice this is a brazed frame. Brazed frames came in during 1944.

More pics....

Notice how the front of your front motor mounts are raised off the frame? They are incorrectly sitting on the mounts and will eventually break them.

Is that because it's a pan motor?

No....it's because it's a Knuckle frame!

The front motor mount on a Pan is lower than a Knuck. So when you stuff a Pan Motor into a Knuck frame the mounts don't sit flush.
