I tried.
But didn't realize her error. It's fixed now..Architect took care of it. Noticed he also added some skid plate info. Where is yours?

According to Harley-Davidson history, 1936 was the year they introduced their first production overhead-valve (OHV) Big Twin, but it was not called the Panhead. It was nicknamed the "Knucklehead" due to the distinctive shape of its rocker covers.

Think the real error was Jackie Paper's interpretation of what she was saying...

Classic "Big Twin" Models (1936–1984): Various sources and collectors point to OEM skid plates being available for models including the 1936–1940 EL and 1941–1984 FL series (Panhead and Shovelhead engines

If you are going to respond to questions in the "Classic" section:

A- do not use AI BS
B- you should know the Panhead is post war, at a bare minimum

Carry on

Better to just get rid of the AI. Since a human told it what to do, there's going to be mistakes. A computer can only do what a human programmed it to do. AI just means that it does the things we're used to waiting a few seconds for, far faster. That's it. Nothing about it any better than before except speed.
