Hi all,
Been a minute since I've been on here after finishing my Shovelhead build - https://www.chopcult.com/forum/showt...ghlight=AndyNZ . Good news is all is good with that bike and she's riding and ripping. About 6 months after finishing the Shovel i got a hair up my ass to build a Panhead....and so that parts collecting began.
I've been a bit crap at taking photos to date so ill sharpen up on that, but the plan is to build a wild, molded, 60's style Panhead. I've begun a lot of the Sheetmetal work already having mounted the gas tank, begun on the tank molding, molded the frame into the neck, and done the finned down tubes and rear upper legs, as well as sectioning the rear fender.
The bikes in a roller now and some of the parts i have and ideas for the build are below.
- 1948 FL Panhead, matching cases, fully rebuilt by DC Choppers, Andrews Cam, Linkert M74B
- 1949 Trans, rebuilt, chromed etc.
- 1948 Edlunds re-pop frame that I've hacked up already
- 18" WM3 Rear rim & Starhub + Avon, 21" WM0 Front rim and Star hub + NOS Avon 2.75' Speedmaster
- Early WG with +3° Trees, +4" Tubes, +6" Alley Choppers Lowers
- Flanders 2" offset riser with big Apes + internal throttle
- Bates side mount headlight
- Planning to make my own front brake backing plate which I've started to make things narrower (more to come on that)
- Early Horsehoe oil tank in chrome
- Wassell tank, molded into frame with Sheetmetal but still removable
- BDL belt drive + Pro-clutch, all inside chrome smooth primary covers
- Original Lee Foot clutch, Custom clutch linkage which I've started on, Pangea "Dishong" style brake
- Custom Mini-Floor boards
- Rear fender molded into frame but removable
So yeah, thats the plan. I've literally bought everything i need to finish the bike...just have to do the work now. A few photos are below.
