This bike belongs to a good friend of mine.It is a 36 all original paint and parts. According to the numbers on the case it was the last one built in 36..
The oil tank looks like it has the feed line running from the bottom and that was apparently a 1937-only feature. Knuckleheads for 1936 had the feed oil line running from the rear of the tank, as did Knuckles for 193847. And how do you know that according to the numbers on the case it was the last one built in 36? AFAIK, nobody is sure how many 1936 models were built so how can you be sure thats the last one? What are you using for a reference guide as far as production numbers are concerned?
Can you please post more photos of the bike, including a photo of the sidecar loops at the front of the frame and a close-up of the frame area just below the trans case (right-hand side). And also a photo of the serial number. And what are the belly numbers on the underside of each crankcase half? Thanks. Eric
