Heya CC.
I started this build thread on the "other" chopper cool guy forum and finally am getting around to copying it over here. So... here's a big dump of progress then it'll slow to a trickle as I am basically learning everything as I go.
I'm new to CC, but have been lurking, searching, and reading throughout the years. Doing researching and ogling various build killer threads. And here I am starting off my own first project.
Bike story: Found this awesome deal locally on Craigslist. The dude selling it listed a pretty vague ad for a '55 pan and basically said I'm not posting a price or any shit. Just come look at it and make an offer. So I did and I snagged it up. There's a pretty dope story to go with her, I'm the fourth owner. She used to be in full period resto form, but then the owner switched it up. Here's how she sits now (to my current understanding):
Deets:
-'55 Pan engine, full S&S internals rebuilt, Super E carb, S&S oil pump
-Matching-numbers '55 trans, Baker internals
-Shovelhead split tanks
-Evo contorls
-Newer (Evo?) front end, dual discs
I love swingarm bikes. No plans to hardtail her.
But I will say. I am new for sure and this progress will be slow going. Hopefully people here can assist with bumps and trials along the way.
That's all the shit I can think is valid for now.
