Panhead start-up

I have owned this bike since 1985. It's a 60 Pan with a 57 straight leg frame. The Engine has a S&S Carb and STD Heads. This is the finished product. I rebuilt the engine over the kitchen sink, tranny on the back deck and the wheel hubs on the kitchen stove. I assembled the bike in the house and outside the house. The bike as of this video, has about 1200 miles. It's a daily ride....

Now that is a very nice '60 Panhead custom for go and not just show.

BEAUTIFUL OLD SCHOOL PANNY👏👏👏👍👍👍👍I ride a ‘51’ pan. The full dressers are nice for LONG runs BUT NOTHIN like OLD SCHOOL BOBBERS👍👍👍✌️

[@SebSar-ef4zj]

What a beautiful bike ! Even more of a beauty with the Panhead . Motorcycle engineers and designers should take note of what people really want . Instead of keep pumping out motorcycles which look like science fiction projects .

[@amiabledave50]

Thank you and I agree with you

[@slowpokebr549]

Ahhhh man....why am I watching this stuff. It's Feb 6 and it's snowing mud outside. Spring....please lord, just let me see another one.

[@jimbob5013]

bro it's the end of March and I'm still seeing cold and rain I swear it seems like %90 of the days anymore are cloudy and rainy. as soon as it's time to start planting garden crops the rain will stop and the sun will keep shining

[@lots3799]

The red dyed fuel line and the gold color on the pushrods give it a nice tweak. Everything about this bike screams cool!

[@amiabledave50]

Thank you.

[@JohnDoe-jn4ex]

Lil touche of gold, love it. Keep the rubber side down.

[@amiabledave50]

Ty & will do

[@Mariodupree]

She's a beauty! Great job! Me and my father are rebuilding his old chopper after 30 years. Unfortunately the original Pan motor and trans were stolen so we are putting a aftermarket Shovel back into his 63 frame. Should be done in about a month or so.

[@amiabledave50]

Did you get your bike together?

[@Honestamericanworker]

Real craftsmanship speaks for itself. Nice job brother...

[@richporak]

Love it Brother! I love the ol Panhead. I will build one some day. Thanks for keeping them alive.

[@howardvest3969]

She's a beautiful bike

[@amiabledave50]

Thank you

[@nicholasdonvito1703]

I love the diamond primary cover. I had the first Mose Trap eliminator, wow is that fun to break in. Always carry a 1/2 and 9/16” open end wrench with you religiously!!! You have to keep adjusting the clutches, if not it keeps walking away with you on it and the breaks won’t stop it. I pot that on my ‘48 Pan.

[@blusnuby2]

"Show `n Go"; my type of chop ! No 'Show Bikes' or 'Trailer Princes' will do. WELL Done, Sir. Pinch yourself !

[@amiabledave50]

Thanks you.

Thank YOU. Working ON A 53

[@jeffreybailey175]

That's a beautiful bike I really love it.

[@amiabledave50]

Thanks

[@mickeymousebiker1]

Wise choice by going with STD heads. STD heads are lots of money but better material and exhaust mounts. Love the mousetrap. Great old straightbar frame. The color is great. Lots of great detail here.

[@shadowplay2801]

much respect, thats a proper pan.

[@amiabledave50]

Thanks

[@UncleRobsGarage]

[@thecurtray]

this Wildman knows how to kick a bike.notice how he keeps his leg bent all the way thru the kick.never straighten the leg.maybe he set on his front porch and cried like a little baby as I did learning how to kick or learning how not to kick.nice ride.knows what to buy to keep value going.watch and learn kids

[@Kris_Stiletto]

Your build looks Top-Shelf, Bro. :)

[@waynemetevia7983]

Beautiful Panhead sir! Very well done professional looking build. Wish i had that much talent. I own a 75 FLH with a 93" all S&S engine. Sadly it's turned into a life long project. If i ever do get it done it will not be anywhere near as good looking as yours. Keep up the great work.

[@amiabledave50]

Wayne Metevia thank you for the compliment.

[@waynemetevia7983]

@amiabledave50 You're welcome sir. Just now found this great video again and read your reply. L.o.l. Btw. Wish I lived next door to you.

[@theroadking547]

Excellent work, hope you still have your Harley and are enjoying riding it.

[@amiabledave50]

Still have it. Bought a 53 LE sidecar for it

Thanks a lot

[@teeceemoo]

Nice job BUT..lol. Next time throw a long spring around your fuel line for a heat sink. Great sound.

[@amiabledave50]

Thank you for your time. I'm curious why I should put a spring around my fuel line as a heat sink when it runs perfectly fine. What is your reasoning behind it?

[@RevKevin-wu8bm]

That's a very nice bike !!!!!!!!

[@amiabledave50]

Thank you.

[@fearsomegladiator]

[@garychandler4296]

She wants to potatoes even cold; a sign of a good rebuild & carb. I'd have put on a tank bib, looks kinda unfinished there, but flawless all over!

[@amiabledave50]

I put the Linkert back on and the original heads.. Thanks

[@Darthbelal]

Thing about Harleys, it doesn't matter how young or old one is, people just FIT on a Harley....

Watching this 10 years late, beauty!! Still own her? You did a fantastic job

[@amiabledave50]

Still have the bike. Putting it back to original. Adding a 1953 Le sidecar to it

[@davidchereneimmel8820]

@@amiabledave50 thanks for the reply, have fun with the side car, that will get some looks! I actually rode a couple bikes with side cars a few times and I have to be honest I hated them even though they look so cool and unique. It totally changed that what makes a bike a bike. The handling the turning just about everything. More like riding a trike as I'm sure you know. But I hope you enjoy and again have fun after all that what its all about! Take care!

[@salvadorhernandez3404]

Nice beautiful Pan!...... I own and personally would only own a Shovelhead. Pans just aren't that reliable on Long cross country rides, they are more of a bar Hopper.

[@amiabledave50]

I disagree. I've owned this bike for 40 years and was my primary ride for most of that.

[@edchat3]

Sweet!

[@g.g.6362]

Seems a shame to alter this beauty,but I"m sure it will be to the same high standards. Good luck.
