'52 pan with tank shift. The first Harley I bought with my name on the title.

 

1957 - Birthday bike - been kind of looking for a project but all I have found so far are Sportsters - 1st year - but I just can't see my butt on one of those....

 

My friend Henry did a awesome job on 1954 pan head. It took him several years but it is NICE.

i am thinking about a pre Dyna Evo Super Glide

 

No, wait!! Maybe a 125 Sprint from the 70s

 

Don't laugh, Grunt. That is what my dad bought to teach all of the kids to ride on. It has been through 4 kids and about 5 grandkids. My mom just got my brother to take it to my niece in Atlanta, so the GREAT Grandkids can learn to ride on it. It is a little ratty. I wonder how hard it would be to find parts to bring it back original and restore it? [:-] Or for that matter, if it would be worth the time to even try. I am amazed that it still runs. My brother said he took it around the yard for old times sake before he put it on the truck.

 

Did that a few years ago with a 72 FX kicker. Great old bike but would part with it for a Pan or a service car.

 

1936 Knucklehead would be my choice.

 

An XR 750 of course!

 

I always thought I'd like to rebuild a shovel or panhead, but since I've ridden this EVO 88 I am impressed. If I build it, I want to ride it, a lot, I think a newer evo basket to a bob chopper. The only specific would be a carb and I always liked the kick start with an electric.
