Default Possible 46 knuckle in my future

The retired guy I bought the 48 EL from offered me his 46 EL last night in the same state the 48 was when I bought it - in a basket. But just like the 48 it was all there (minus a speedo and a front fender light). All the hardware is parkerized, correct tanks, fenders, console - no speedo. Bull neck frame wasn't sanitized but the springer is an inline and should be offset with the higher VIN. Painted wheels, correct headlight, tail light etc. Im looking at it mid next week. Fingers crossed.

Now you will find out why they are selling for big money and the EL is not one of them — BUT it costs the same as a one year bike to do

big pockets needed to play in that game and its tanking the USA economy so the buyers wont be around when its finished

your have not shown any stayin power when a bike is done you turn them like A TV show good luck DUDE

"IF" it is a good deal but you don't want to get involved, drop me a line. I have interest, especially in 1946.

30K Canadian is a good deal I think. Getting one up here is tough.

I am wondering if EL, in 1946, would be a 3 speed or 4 speed?

PS you did a nice job on the other 2, no reason to think this one wouldn't come out just as nice.
