so where's the clutch and brakes on this?

[deweypug]

Great machine!  (P.S. don't tuck your pants into the boots anymore)

great bike...

[coyotemutt]

Oh that's wild how they made the valves operate... Definitely an engineering history lesson

[BikerRussell]

@coyotemutt Whats the alternative? Everyone knows how a side-valved engine works?

[Jeff46u]

@BikerRussell This is not a side valve but a F head that has one side valve and one over head valve. Great bike. It only took me 4 kicks to start my 1946U when it was cold. 3 to prime and one with the switch on.

[BikerRussell]

@Jeff46u This would be called a "half top" where Im from.

[Jeff46u]

@BikerRussell If I am not mistaken Harley called it a F head.
