Description: HERE IS AN ORIGINAL / OEM 1936 HARLEY DAVIDSON KNUCKLEHEAD FRAME. THIS FRAME WAS CHECKED FOR ANY DAMAGE AND STRAIGHTNESS ON A FRAME MACHINE. THIS FRAME IS A LASER STRAIGHT PERFECT FRAME THAT DOES NOT NEED ANYTHING, IT IS READY TO BUILD ON. IT IS A PERFECT GOOD SOLID METAL FRAME.THIS FRAME CAME OFF A COMPLETE MOTORCYCLE THAT STARTED TO BE BUILT BACK IN THE LATE 1980'S AND COMPLETED IN THE EARLY 1990'S. THE MOTORCYLE HAD A REALLY NICE RESTORATION DONE TO IT, BUT IT WAS PRETTY MUCH AN ALL MISMATCHED MOTORCYCLE, THE ENGINE, FRAME, TRANSMISSION, FRONT END WERE ALL DIFFERENT YEAR PARTS. THE LAST OWNER, MY CUSTOMER BOUGHT THE MOTORCYCLE TO DO A RESTORATION BUT WHEN WE PUT THE ESTIMATE ON PAPER, HE DECIDED TO BAIL OUT ON THE 1936 KNUCKLEHEAD PROJECT AND WERE JUST GONNA USE HIS ENGINE AND RESTORE A LATER 1940'S MOTORCYCLE FOR HIM. THIS MOTORCYCLE HAS BEEN IN NEW JERSEY FOR OVER 50 YEARS, SO IF THIS FRAME WENT THROUGH ANY RESTORATION, IT WAS MOST LIKELY DONE BY MARTY IN NJ AT SOME POINT, PLUS KEEP IN MIND THAT THE FRAME IS JUST ABOUT 90 YEARS OLD, SO IF THERE WAS ANY WORK DONE ON THE FRAME, IT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE BY THE H-D FACTORY, H-D DEALER, ANY MOTORCYCLE SHOP OR FRAME SHOP, THIS IS NOT A NEWLY RESTORED FRAME THAT HAS CODES THAT WERE ADDED / INSTALLED ON IT TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE AN ORIGINAL,THIS FRAME IS THE REAL DEAL, ALL THE CASTINGS ON THIS FRAME ARE THE REAL DEAL. I HAD THE FRAME SODA BLASTED AND I LOOKED THE FRAME OVER REAL GOOD, PLUS THERE ARE PLENTY OF PICTURES FOR YOU TO SEE FOR YOURSELF, IF THERE WAS ANY RESTORATION WORK DONE TO THIS FRAME, IT WAS VERY MINOR WORK, THE BOTTOM RAILS ARE IN PERFECT MINT CONDITION, SO I WOULD ATLEAST SAY THAT THEY WERE REPAIRED OR REPLACED AT SOME POINT, I JUST DON'T BELIEVE THAT YOU WOULD FIND PERFECT BOTTOM RAILS ON A 1936 FRAME OR ANY 1936 TO 1957 H-D HARDTAIL FRAME TODAY. THERE ARE ALL CORRECT 1936 FACTORY CODES ON EVERY PART THAT IS SUPPOSE TO HAVE A CODE ON IT, ALL CORRECT 1936 CASTINGS AND CODES. EACH PIECE ALSO SHOWS VERY NORMAL PITTING AND WEAR ON THEM THAT A FRAME FROM 1936 SHOULD SHOW. ANYWAY, HERE ARE ALL THE CASTING CODES ON THIS FRAME, (#1) ORIGINAL / OEM STEERING HEAD, IT HAS THE CORRECT XE-35 CODE & CORRECT XE-35 FONT = CORRECT FOR 1936. #2) THE STEERING HEAD ALSO SHOWS THE (INTERSTATE DROP FORGE) / (DIF) HALLMARK / FORGING IN SQUARE BOX, FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW, H-D USED TWO DIFFERENT SIZE DIF BOXES, THIS HAS THE LARGE DIF BOX = CORRECT FOR 1936 (#3) LEFT AXLE CLIP XE-7 WITH (INTERSTATE DROP FORGE) / (DIF) HALLMARK / FORGING IN SQUARE BOX / LONG SPACE FROM CODE TO DIF BOX = CORRECT FOR 1936 (#4) RIGHT AXLE CLIP XE-6 UPSIDE DOWN WITH UPSIDE DOWN (INTERSTATE DROP FORGE) / (DIF) HALLMARK / FORGING IN SQUARE BOX / LONG SPACE FROM CODE TO DIF BOX = CORRECT FOR 1936 (#5) FRONTMOTOR MOUNT XE-621 WITH (INTERSTATE DROP FORGE) / (DIF) HALLMARK / FORGING IN SQUARE BOX = CORRECT FOR 1936 (#6) REAR MOTOR MOUNT XE- 624 = CORRECT FOR 1936 (#7) LEFT SIDE CAR LOOP YE762 = CORRECT FOR 1936 (#8) RIGHT SIDE CAR LOOPYE761 = CORRECT FOR 1936 (#9) SEAT POST MOUNT / SUPPORT XE-1 = CORRECT FOR 1936 (#10) FLOORBOARD MOUNTS / RIGHT SIDE, XE-760 --- LEFT SIDE, XE-760 = CORRECT FOR 1936. OIL TANK MOUNT #87 = CORRECT FOR 1936 (#11) PLUG WELDED TOOL BOX MOUNT = CORRECT FOR 1936 (#12) BRAZED FRAME, NOT WELDED = CORRECT FOR 1936 #13) FRAME TUBING SIZE = CORRECT FOR 1936. THERE ARE JUST A FEW SMALL PARTS THAT ARE WELDED ON, NOT BRAZED. THE INFORMATION IN THE BOOKS SUGGEST THAT THIS IS A LATE 1936 FRAME. THE BOOKS READ THAT LATE 1936 FRAMES DO HAVE BRAZED AND WELDED PARTS ON THEM. THIS COULD ALSO BE AN EARLY FRAME, WHICH AGAIN, THE H-D FACTORY, H-D DEALER, ANY MC SHOP OR ANY FRAME SHOP COULD HAVE DONE REPAIRS OR UPGRADES TOO. THIS FRAME HAS NOT BEEN IN MY POSSESSION SINCE 1936 SO I AM NOT ABLE TO GIVE YOU THE WHOLE 90 YEAR HISTORY ON IT. ANYWAY, BESIDES THAT, I REALLY DON'T HAVE MUCH TO SAY ABOUT THIS FRAME, AGAIN IT'S A DEAD PERFECT LASER STRAIGHT FRAME THAT IS READY TO BUILD ON. GOOD SOLID ORIGINAL FRAMES ARE GETTING IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AND THEY ARE GETTING VERY EXPENSIVE, SO IF YOUR LOOKING FOR A PERFECT FRAME TO WORK WITH, THEN DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS ONE, ONCE IT'S GONE, IT'S GONE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS AT ALL, OR YOU NEED MORE PICTURES, OR YOU WANT TO STOP BY THE SHOP AND LOOK AT IT BEFORE YOU BUY IT, OR YOU WANT A COUPON FOR A BETTER PRICE, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO EMAIL, CALL OR TEXT ME AT 5512551216. I COULD SEND MORE PICTURES FROM PHONE TO PHONE FASTEST. I HAVE THIS FRAME UP FOR SALE AT THE SHOP AND ON A FEW OTHER WEBSITES ON THE INTERNET, SO I WILL RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CANCEL ANY BIDS, OFFERS, OR THIS WHOLE AD IF IT SELLS. DUE TO A VERY LOW PROFIT MARGIN, OR IN MOST CASES THESE DAYS, NO PROFIT MARGIN, I CAN'T AFFORD TO ACCEPT RETURNS, SO PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS THE FRAME YOU NEED OR WANT BEFORE YOU BUY IT.
