This bike is reliable and capable of hanging with the new bikes when it comes to reliability. This electrical system is bulletproof and will not let you down. although you could bring it back to a battery system by simply putting a battery back in it. I installed a battery eliminator inplace of the battery. A Morris magneto provides Sparks & has a brand new coil & condenser. Bike is powered by small alternator unit which has a newer style regulator. Good runner! Good starter one or two kicks! Runs like a bat outta hell! Bike has a Primo belt drive and Barnett clutches. Motor has a 104 Sifton cam and lightened circuit breaker and idle gears.
Panhead chopper plus#
This motor is stroked with 80 inch flywheels balanced plus or minus 1 gram S&S style balance. The heads and cam cover are OEM as well as many of the internals. The left side case does however have the VIN number laser etched into it professionally. The right side case on the motor is OEM the left side case is aftermarket. Titled as a Harley Davidson not a reconstruction. The motor is a 1957 pan and has a clear Illinois title in my name.

All welds were TIG welded on the tank nice work not full of bondo! Plus tank has a 3 bolt mounting system which will not jiggle loose on long rides or ever for that matter! Passenger pegs are one cherry and one Andersen and are identical to each other.

And added A 20 millimeter bullet shell sleeved external petcock bung. added a brass ventilator cap and then raised ridge down the back for that cool Frisco look. Tank is a modified sporty tank modified by yours truly. Paint on tank and fender is fresh and almost show quality. Paint on the frame isn't perfect anymore but still in good shape. No cracks or re- welds on frame or frame motor mounts. 1948 OEM frame that has been raked and smooth out. OEM cloth back floorboard rubbers mounted to OEM floorboards. OEM waffle grips insignia is worn but still visible. 2 piece stainless sporty bars with OEM horn button. Front forks are shaved early 70s sporty I believe 39 millimeters. the rear drum brake and all innards are OEM as well. This is an authentic 1957 panhead chopper ! The real McCoy! The bike is built out of mostly OEM genuine Harley parts. I'd just as soon sell my left you know what but I don't think ebay would let me list it. The last thing I want to do is sell this bike but I have an opportunity to expand my shop space.
