Panther 600 cc motorcycle model m100 Phelon & Moore

[@splortz]

I owned an M100 in 1968 in San Francisco. Bought it from Jack Blake of the SF Motorcycle Club. He had retrofitted a rigid frame to it. The little lever on the timing case is a valve lifter, which slides a little spacer over the exhaust lobe on the cam. As I recall, it had about a 3inch bore and a 4 inch stroke.

I had one of these as my first bike 52 years ago. Not anywhere as pristine as this one though!

Superb video! I love the soundtrack and the photographs at the end. You must really love this bike to restore her so well and keep her so immaculately clean.

[@JakeAnnetts]

What a beautiful machine. You did a great job

[@adriancarey4193]

The little lever is a decompression lever to enable kickstarting without the kickback breaking your leg or throwing you over the handlebars. I believe it raises one of the valves slightly.

With the single port head, quite rare!!

This bike deserves a happy tune.

Great looking Panther

[@brianosborne4996]

An object of great beauty.

Nice, very rare single (exhaust) port head fitted! Should really have a chromed tank for 1950 I believe.

Big torque made them a favourite with sidecar guys.

Lever might be another "valve lifter" in addition to the one on the bars. I think Norton had similar on some of their bikes in the 50's & early 60's.

very nice ! would be great if we could see the other side

Missing the gold Panther head on the headlamp, must have changed from the Lucas lamp.

Lovely machine. Great music track too. Can you tell me what it's called and by whom please?

[@robertfindlay2325]

Am hunting parts for a 1932 Panther Redwing for a rebuild. Also looking for bottom end flywheels crankpin etc etc. of a 1929 Panther 500 motor. I am Australia but happy to search world-wide..

[@ferrazbrother]

[@paulj6662]

[@Arfjay]

[@alainbarre7483]

[@watchyMCFCwatchy]

Who is the music by?

[@bsacrazy]

100% correct

[@j.ramone4116]

Beautiful bike. Great music. But no sound of the engine. A real shame. Good though

[@sergiovalles63]

Que raro que tenga una sola lumbrera. La que yo conosco tienen 2 lumbreras de escape.

[@anythingoldmechanical]

Depressing music kills the video. It would of been better to hear it running.

[@adamhill1537]

You' should have started it up
