Custom 100 cubic inch Harley-Davidson Knucklehead known as Untouchable by Arlen Ness that was built between 1964 and 1977 when it took the form you see here. This was Arlen's first Harley-Davidson that he purchased for $300, although very little of the original bike is left. With its large motor, Magnuson Supercharger, it's array of belts and pulleys, the twin Weber carburetors, and the 5/8 Jim Davis chrome moly frame, it set a new bar for innovation in custom bikes, not only for other builders but for Arlen himself. The bike is still owned by Arlen Ness although it has been on exhibit at the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum in Pickerington, OH as part of the “Awesome-Ness” exhibition in the “Hall of Legends” 2009- 2010. It was included in the Rebel Rousers - Motorcycle Icons that Inspire Us to Ride exhibit at the Buffalo Chip's Lichter Exhibition Hall.
