Default Mint Panhead, 1965, Fresh Restoration

Colleagues,

Here is my freshly restored 65 Panhead... No expense was spared on this 100 point bike...

Bike was redone nicely. You should be careful however in the use of your terminology when describing the bike.

Yes and the asking price to own it is equally pretty.


IzzoQuazzo, on a side note, just saw that you have a new Tri-Glide. Looks like a Cadillac of a ride.

Had it for about 18 months already. It's a 2019.

Pretty bike, but please have the correct factory speedometer before you say 100 point bike. People work real hard to get even close to that number, do not throw it around.

Unfortunately wording like "100 point" bike and freshly "restored" are too easily thrown out there and to the untrained it is normal discourse.

For the right price that bike would be a heck of a rider and defintiely get some looks.

maybe at a Harley ride in show its a 100 points

too much bling I will name a few thing that were not chrome - regulator cover - fuel lift for the pet **** is broken off - and gas caps are 1973 up not early - as said the numbers are too big and wrong type numbers for speedo - fork sliders are not chrome > stainless - spokes are not chrome cad plated - rear directional bracket not chrome polished only - and the tail light should be the same color as the bike even tho the red is not correct for 1965 - plate holder is a re pop do not see the -55 numbers - front directionals are incorrect as in a later re pop design - mirror is round in 1965 - I could go on some others will see what I see and post as well - seat is wrong ---- guessing it was a homeowner resto and not a shop I would say its a 50 to 60 percent judging in a real arena
