Otherwise, thisarrangement of letters wouldn’t meanmuch more than a bunch of lettersstrung together. What we have hereis a Knucklehead, a Knuckle built bya man who has spent most of hislife in a co-existance with Harleys.Booger Watson is his name and hehails from Clarksville, Tennessee.And when you get him talking youfind out real quick that he rates hisdad as Number One, the guy respon-sible for turning him on to motor-cycles. Booger’s dad is a Harleyman with a Harley shop, and Boogerdid his growing up inside this shop.So, building a prime scoot is a na-tural for him and cutting a fast lickaround a flat track is how he gets hiskicks. And when you’ve spent asmuch time as Booger has pilotinga go-fast machine around a flat trackon the professional racer’s edge,you build a healthy respect for theHarley XRS, and Booger has thatrespect. When he set out to buildhimself a street bike the XRS waswhere he was coming from, andgoing to... starting with a Knuckle.There was this 1941 Knuckleheadon hand with a real right price (free)and with this kind of start point, thatleaves a lot of room to play. The planwas to build the bike so it lookedlike a 750XR and Booger went to allkinds of extreme to get the job done.Having a shop helps when you takeon this kind of project, especiallywhen you’re doing things like puttingtwo front heads on. Booger wouldnot do much talking about what hehad done to the innards of this pow-erplant but he did let loose of the factthat late model accoutrements couldbe considered as part of the picture... And much more! 12028
