The V-Twin 51-1040 Replica 1936 Knucklehead Frame fits the 1936 Harley-Davidson EL. It accepts a Knucklehead or Big Twin Flathead engine with a 3-speed or 4-speed transmission. The frame is new production with 13 brazed joints designed to replicate the original construction.
Included frame components include the seat post, brake cross shaft, rear axle assembly, transmission plate, and motor alignment plate. Cross shaft bushings, a toolbox mount, and grease fittings are installed. Forged components include the neck, front and rear engine mounts, yoke, and rear axle plates. Brazed components include the top motor mount, front tank mount, sidecar loops, footboard mount, transmission strap, center post strap, rear fender crossbar saddles, oil tank mount, and upper rear frame bars at the tank tube.
For the original rear axle plate appearance, the rear brake slot on the left side must be cut out at the front; this area is closed for the builder to remove as desired. The seat post and cross-shaft bushings may require additional reaming for proper fit, and some holes may require slight reaming or filing during assembly. The Knucklehead frame requires clamp-on coil bracket kit 49-0099. The horizontal frame crossbar uses 7/8-inch outside-diameter tubing. This replica frame has no stamped serial numbers; V-Twin supplies a bill of sale referencing part number 51-1040.
