I met Kevin at the Rhinebeck meet in New York last year. He'd just got the big flathead up. Check the suspended seat, the XA fork and especially the basket weave overlay on the oilbag(only two made). Not to mention the sissybar. He was so old school he was pre-school. Hadn't seen his Knuck. Thanks Jeff
I think guy in Upstate made that oil tank, I know one of the originals is still floating around on a bike in Jersey I believe, once owned by Tom Nelson at Rolling Thunder and the other tank was on a club bike.
Spanish Louie from Da Bronx made 3. Tommy Nelson had one on his flathead which he sold to Fat Ralph who lived around Greenwood Lake NJ. Bobby had one, the third we looked for but could never turn up. Ernie "Sparkie" Barkman and I built the rail, oil bag, floating seat, axed gas tank, pipes, etc etc. Yes Ernie lives upstate NY. Look for our wild machines at Rhinebeck NY in June. Sparkie has a dual carb "Pete Hill" Knuckle powered chopper.
