The Knuck, Pan and Shovel have a truly unique HD character. Evo and Twins look good... but Jap. I love them all. The Knuckleheads have it!

 

My personal favorite would be the 3 years of the slab shovel.

 

Nothing looks better than a sweet knuckle!! NOTHING!!

 

I was stunned to see the poll results ... only a quarter of us prefer the look of the knuckle??!!

 

if you only look at the carb side, knuckle is number one, pans are okay, but too flashy. knuckle looks more mechanical. overall all around, yeah the Twinkie is a nice motor.

but i'm going to throw the flatheads into the mix.

and really?? no love for the EVO?

 

Knuckles, flatties, generator shovels... in that order. Once the bullet noses started, the engines started losing their "soul" to me.

The Evo and TC are nice designs and are mechanically superior hands down but are missing the look....

 

Once again a poll with a planned out come. You left out the M8.
As for coolest looking the Knuckle . But as of now I like the M8.

 

When I look at the blacked out M8 114 sitting by the 58 Pan, 80 Shovel, 97 Evo and all the TC's it is the M8 by a huge margin. EVO second, Pan and Shovel tied for for third and TC last.

 

For old school looks, the shovel. I'd vote the flathead next. Then the pan, blockhead and knuckle.

 

I think the moco should call the Milwaukee 8 a muscle head because of the lumps and bumps in the valve covers.The motor looks like its been working out at the gym and compared to the 16 RK that I traded for my 18 Ultra it feels like it.Thats what I call mine whether it catches on or not.
