Oh sadly it's been garaged for years. It's the Charles Bronson of motorcycles.

Pipes are wrapped in exhaust tape. My buddy makes chain mail. Riding it is like wearing iron mans suit but not really knowing how to control it.
When I built it in 2001 I was like FTW. Now I'm like give peace a chance.

Love the springer front end. Don't see many panheads anymore. old shovels are becoming the new pans.

Nice pan man! Original or S&S? Beautiful bike. Mine is a '58 ironhead rat. I felt like Dr Frankenstein when it actually fired up. Mag powered no battery. Bought the engine from a guy who found it in a building he bought. A truck wash on the outskirts of the city. Took me 2 years. And nearly cost me my young marriage!

WOW man. Nice! Worthy derail. I don't even believe a thread can be derailed anymore. just meanders...

Ton312, I could go on and on about all that was done to the '52...but I'm not a typist so it will have to wait. steve P.S. don't own a cell phone or tap talk.

 

[AbbaDatDeHat]

Man I'd love to hear that story. It's a labor of love for sure. Wish I had the same time to commit that I used to. Someday. I'll be back.

ELMC J100 just arrived.
This thing is gorgeous!

That does look nice. I've had a couple of the jackets and they were both very nice. I still look at the black Californian.
