Pan or knuckle. I cut my street teeth on my BIL's 49 panhead.

RE: Favorite engine
I've owned 1 of ea. OHV bikes. The 47 knuck has the classic look and id the father of the whole line to present. The pan has a elegant beauty and the shovel looks as brutish as it runs. I presently have an Evo chopper I built and enjoy the simplicity of it's mechanicals as well as the clean look. I regret letting the earlier bikes get away from me but will probably be buried with the Evo. As you can see, even the Evo pays tribute to the classic Harleys.

RE: Favorite engine
I'm only familiar with the EVO and 88 TC engines, and then only slightly. Does anyone have a link to a doc that briefly describes the differences between the Harley engines? I've always been curious.
