She's a beauty! Great job! Me and my father are rebuilding his old chopper after 30 years. Unfortunately the original Pan motor and trans were stolen so we are putting a aftermarket Shovel back into his 63 frame. Should be done in about a month or so.
bro it's the end of March and I'm still seeing cold and rain I swear it seems like %90 of the days anymore are cloudy and rainy. as soon as it's time to start planting garden crops the rain will stop and the sun will keep shining
this Wildman knows how to kick a bike.notice how he keeps his leg bent all the way thru the kick.never straighten the leg.maybe he set on his front porch and cried like a little baby as I did learning how to kick or learning how not to kick.nice ride.knows what to buy to keep value going.watch and learn kids
Thank you for your time. I'm curious why I should put a spring around my fuel line as a heat sink when it runs perfectly fine. What is your reasoning behind it?
Look at the video again and pay attention to the left down tube. The Mousetrap is the fixture with the large spring. When you disengage the transmission using the hand lever, it doesn't fatigue your hand
Also if your clutch cable breaks you can manually use the mouse trap to shift gears. Doing so will get you home instead of being stuck on the side of the road. If you're not careful your fingers can get pinched in between the mount and spring. Hence the name mouse trap.
Nice beautiful Pan!...... I own and personally would only own a Shovelhead. Pans just aren't that reliable on Long cross country rides, they are more of a bar Hopper.
Nice. Hey always straddle any kick start bike especially an Harley. That difference in the angle of your leg aids so much in following through, which in turn will make things easier. Also its the proper way to start a Harley, to guys that been around harleys there whole life. It looks like everything but kool. In fact it makes you look like a wanna be rookie. Just trying to help brother
What a beautiful bike ! Even more of a beauty with the Panhead . Motorcycle engineers and designers should take note of what people really want . Instead of keep pumping out motorcycles which look like science fiction projects .
Wise choice by going with STD heads. STD heads are lots of money but better material and exhaust mounts. Love the mousetrap. Great old straightbar frame. The color is great. Lots of great detail here.
Hey Dave great bike. I tried unsuccessfully I think to message you about your passenger foot pegs I'd love to run the same setup on my 51 pan but don't recognise how you've done it. Any tips or close ups would be gratefully accepted. Cheers, Jamie.
I love the diamond primary cover. I had the first Mose Trap eliminator, wow is that fun to break in. Always carry a 1/2 and 9/16” open end wrench with you religiously!!! You have to keep adjusting the clutches, if not it keeps walking away with you on it and the breaks won’t stop it. I pot that on my ‘48 Pan.
@@amiabledave50 thanks for the reply, have fun with the side car, that will get some looks! I actually rode a couple bikes with side cars a few times and I have to be honest I hated them even though they look so cool and unique. It totally changed that what makes a bike a bike. The handling the turning just about everything. More like riding a trike as I'm sure you know. But I hope you enjoy and again have fun after all that what its all about! Take care!
Beautiful Panhead sir! Very well done professional looking build. Wish i had that much talent. I own a 75 FLH with a 93" all S&S engine. Sadly it's turned into a life long project. If i ever do get it done it will not be anywhere near as good looking as yours. Keep up the great work.
