Original, old-school chopper hasn't been modified since it was originally built in the '70s.

Dang I remember the bikes of the 70s, and that is why I loved my 2000 Wide Glide from the minute I saw it till the moment that it died forever.

My older brother had a chopper very similar to that in the late '70's and early '80's. Same fork with the twists in the front legs. I had forgotten about how they liked those small front wheels on the choppers in those days.

I was never a fan of the super long front ends, but other than that, this is a nice looking old Panhead chopper.

I sure remember it was very easy to lift the front wheel up with a passenger on the bike with those extended front ends.
