I have been thinking about possibly purchasing a vintage Harley of some sort. I really like the looks of the '48 Panhead, so it got me thinking. If you had to pick just ONE Harley-Davidson from any year, which one would it be? Pics would be great if you have them as well.

 

Any Shovel Head built after the AMF days.

 

would have to go with a Panhead motor but chopped up in a 60's style frame.
guy at work has a 49' he did real nice.

 

That is realy cool.

 

1960 Flh Police

 

I have been toying with the idea of finding one that was built in the same year that i was born. And yes, H-D's were being made then!!

 

My grandmother has a 1945 hd completely stock and i mean mint condition sitting in her garage back east waiting for me to take ownership once she passes.......

 

Something identical to my friends 1948 Panhead but without leaks. He built it up from a bike that was pretty well trashed. I wish I had some before shots so you could see how much he turned this bike around.

 

Was there a Shovel built(by the MoCo) after AMF? Evo introduced '84,AMF left in '81?

 

It's a nostalgia thing for me. My first ride in 1953 was a 1950 Panhead rigid. Suicide clutch, hand shift. I'd love to have it again in all original conditon, oil leaks and all. Back in the day when Gunk was a BIG seller at HD shops.
