I am not a motorcycle guy. I have a opportunity to buy 2 old Harley's with suicide clutches. I have not seen these bikes yet. These bikes have been in this old mans basement for years. My question, i have researched these bikes but still have no idea the difference between a panhead and knuclehead. I look at pictures but still in the dark. Is there anything when i look at these bikes motors that will just jump out at me and i say yep, that is a knucklehead or panhead. It is going to be a couple weeks before i get to buy them. Old man is in nursing home and his daughter who is selling them just had some kind of surgery. I will post pictures if anyone is interested. I hope this is going to be my best garage pic ever but you never know. Thanks

The valve covers on the pan are completely round and resemble a pan. A knuckle will two small humps like the knuckles on you hand. I'll see if I can post a pick. Panhead


Knuckle

The only thing i know is they both have suicide shifters and one has saddle bags. I have not seen them yet. I know i am losing sleep though.

The suicide shifters should be nothing but linkage. It shouldn't effect the value

Here's a pic of my old "Bowling ball" 75 Sporster. It was a true basket case that I built out of the milk Crates I bought it in. I kept the #1 point cover to remind of it's AMF heritage! smile

Uhmm, some people prefer to call them "Ironheads" not Bowling Ball models....

The original suicide shifter was mounted on the left side of the gas tank with a foot operated clutch, you had to balance on your right foot at a stop while using the right hand to hold the brake and then take your left hand off the bar to shift. It could get sketchy in certain situations on a hill.
Lots of people modified them to a hand clutch/foot shift but kept the "Mousetrap" linkage.
The Knucklehead was one of the most beautiful creations in the mechanical world, had hydraulic lifters, overhead valves and if I remember my '46 had all of about 35 or 40 horsepower.
