of 1958 and later frames. The motor is a 93 cubic inch Panhead replica built by S&S, actually like an EVO inside. Hydraulic rear drum brake replaced the mechanical rear drum brake of
1957, we thought that was a real upgrade but we still didn't run any front brake. The gas tank is made from genuine early Panhead tanks that are narrowed and welded together. The
front forks are 1930's VL springers that have been extended 2 inch's. The bike has a magneto ignition and no battery. The oil tank that once held a battery has been modified and now holds over 6 quarts of oil. Its still started with a kick starter. The bike brings back many memories for me. I will ride it occasionally mostly locally or to a show.
