Re: 1951 Panhead build thread
Well, okay then. All the best threads have (at least) one a-hole to blarp out contrary opinions -- it's a matter of balance -- and I'm happy to be that a-hole: it's a natural fit for me.
So, of...

Re: 1951 Panhead build thread
Run the 3" over, but re-lace your front hub to an 18" rim. Problem solved!

THAT WAS AN ATTEMPTED JOKE. Please, put it from your mind. Please!

Re: 1951 Panhead build thread
For what it's worth, I too can see the improvement in o/a profile when the front is hoiked up just that little bit.
But why not throw your pal's 3" longer forks on it and then ogle it over the...

Re: Just what I need Another project
In those magazines' early times, there was much more editorial interest in *old* old bikes -- not simply bikes which, by virtue of being 25 years old, were recognized as some kind of "vintage" by the...

Re: Just what I need Another project
Yow.
Wade, you seem like a fella who needs to own my hoard of c. 500 issues of Classic Bike and The Classic Motor Cycle magazines, '80s through about 2016.
But then you also seem like a guy who...

Re: Customizing a Daytona 500??
I agree about keeping the swingarm, at least for starters, for Goldy's and VonWegener's reasons.
Keep the swingarm, but don't build this. (Side question. I haven't seen an ARD ignition like that...

Re: My 69’ Harley Chopper Build
Looks real fine, Mikey.
Are you planning to "shine" squirrels with your headlight? Communicate with UFOs? (No, I get it: it's more aerodynamic that way.)

I don't recall ever hearing anybody's personal experience with the 8-valve head. Can you dredge up anything to say about a Weslake (performance improvement/characteristics, easy or...

Re: Post your 45'' pics, please!
I prefer 50panhead62's boxless version. Just sitting still, it hollers "speed at any cost." Sleek, dangerous, capable of terrifying velocity.
But whatta I know?
