Default Canadian Military ELC Knucklehead

Only 44 of these knuckleheads were built for the Canadian Armed Forces in 1942. They featured a variety of parts not used on other military HDs as specified by the Canadian military. Actual pictures of these machines seem just as rare, but I came across some of the original numbered factory photos as well as a current shot of two restored motorcycles.

Thanks for the link. My grandfather was a dispatch rider in the Canadian army during the war. He had some great stories about bikes.
