Has a title? Matching belly numbers? Date codes all 46 and are the cylinders maxed out from being rebuilt 10 times? All that matters a lot when you play with the high roller stuff. If you walked away from that shovel FLH the other day over money then dont jump into a knuckle build.

Its in a running rideable swing arm chopper that is for sale.
All I really want to know is what does a running 46 EL engine go for on the low side?
I didnt walk away from the FL over money.

You said you didn't buy it because you would have to sell your existing bike first. Your wife wouldn't agree to you spending the money prior or if it cost more than what you sold yours for. If thats not over money I don't know what is.
I wont say there isn't a $6K knuckle out there but the seller would have to be out of touch with the market or be in love with you for that deal to go down.

Regarding the Knuckle. Its in a POS chopper that the guy is asking 20G for.
Without the engine, its maybe, worth 3G?
ETA: The bikes owner doesnt know **** about it.
Says he bought it and only put about 100 miles on it before deciding to sell it after being told how much it would cost to make it a practical and safe bike to be a regular rider.
It is a consignment at a local shop.

I guess in a roundabout way you are correct in that it was about an agreement I made with my wife about where the money would come from, not that the money was not available to do so.

I was looking at one not long ago, a 41 engine and trans in a frame and selling it as an incomplete project. I called and asked why its been for sale for over a month and no takers at $23K Canadian dollars. He said everyone points to the economy as the reason for not buying. So he sends me the vin partially covered and belly numbers and more pics. The cylinders are for a pan with the heads sitting on it loose. The case is welded. The font on the belly numbers is different from one case half to the other and the vin is a re-stamp on a newer case lacking the two lugs and square slot around the top stud hole. THATS why it's still for sale, not the economy. When I pointed out these discrepancies he said the factory did some pretty strange things back then to which I said maybe but they didn't use two different stamp sets for each case half and given he owns 4 other knuckles he should know this. I know he does, he was just trying to unload a pile of junk on the unsuspecting.
