The Daily Panshovel from italy

[24ABE]

Hi everybody

I'm Alberto from Italy, i have been a long time lurker on this website, expecially in the build/classified section.
I'm not a professiona bike guy but whenever i have free time i spend it in my garage expecially during the weekends building car n bikes.
So in the end i decided to star my own thread because i really enjoy this comunity anyway here is my last project an ol ironhead.

But a few month ago i come across a good engine for a new build and decided to buy it.
So here i am with a panshovel more or less all oem ( that is actually a frankenstain of an engine ) ready for a new project

Can't go wrong there. What year cases? And also curious what a 'good deal' is over there, with the Lira or Euro to USD worked out. That Ironhead is kinda cool too, paint reminds me of a Colnago I used to have..

Probably electro-interference from your rear antennae.
I like the Invader with a brake.

little to no progress

So after some problem with the magneto i went back to the classical ignition.
things went pretty smooth. and the second test ride was pretty problem free.
