| Here is Steve's 56 Panhead that was recently completed the day of The Philo. Motor is a 56 with matching belly numbers bored and stroked 86". Original FL 4 speed ratchet top tranny with hand shift. Handlebars, motor mount, battery box, tank panel, risers (engraved), fender, headlight mount, shifter handle, and foot pegs all made at LRC. Paint was done by Brian Painter (Thats right, his last name is Painter) in a candy blue. Bike has mostly all original parts and was once a FL Police Bike. Runs with a 1.5" primary belt drive and stock mechanical brakes. Even has the original star hubs. Chain at Chain Links Leather is responsible for the side bag and P-Pad. More than likely this bike will be for sale even though I love it!! But first I will get some good road time on it. I can always build another some day in the distant future! My favorite thing about this bike is its Old energy and old smell! I really dig the Fishtails, sissy bar, Vintage Unity Spotlight/headlight, the handlebars, the mechanical brakes, and the original Bates solo seat! It is all just so beautiful to me!!! This bike was an original FL Police bike that has the original Harley 'Police Special' Speedo. Pretty cool history I bet. Wonder if some cop pursued some mean Hombre's on it back in the 60's!!! |
