1946 Harley Davidson E “Knucklehead” —
Sons of Anarchy Hollywood Bike!
This 1946 Harley Davidson E Knucklehead motorcycle was used on the Sons of Anarchy show. This HD “E” Knucklehead motorcycle was rented by the studio for the filming and later sold to the current owner. This is THEbike shown in the Sons of Anarchy clubhouse and purported to be John Teller’s motorcycle. This E motorcycle is a good runner and ready for the next curator. Current owner has all of the necessary paperwork to confirm this bike’s identity and previous owner. This bike has minimal defects and was last tuned or ridden spring of 2016.
This is not a factory original 1946 Knucklehead. This Knucklehead was built specifically as a rider with a blend of the builder’s favorite features from the ’45-’51 model years. Although it was built for a private party, this knucklehead represents just the way the original Sons of Anarchy President (John Teller) would have liked it.
Gathering parts for this icon began more than thirty years ago, before reproduction parts were available. The engine is the original Knucklehead motor, with original stock HD Knucklehead cylinders. The belly numbers match and are intact. The Springer front end is also ’46 Knucklehead. The wishbone frame is an original ’48 Panhead frame. The gas tanks are from a ’51 Panhead. Other Panhead items include the mouse-trap clutch and the 2-light dash. This bike was built as a blend of John Teller’s personal riding and styling preferences, just like any hard riding 1%er would have done in 1970. The bike is equipped exactly as it appeared during six seasons of the S of A television series.
