Scaloped paint, molded coffin
tank, long girder front end, z-bars, Pan-Shovel motor...ooh,
ooh, I'm getting all er, "happy" just thinking about it.
Take note, HOWEVER, of the bike in the background of the bottom
picture. Unless I miss my guess, that's a red Road King - 'cause
even though us old dogs loves our choppers, ya gotta have
something friendly on the butt and spine for those long rides.
Doesn't hurt to have more than one bike - that way you can do
the good stuff to the chopper without having to "just get it
done" in time for some upcoming run (never been in the garage
all night long because of something like that!).
The skinny:
1959 Pan bottom from a FLH with
1966 Shovel heads. 74's Rule!
1959 4 speed kicker trans from FLH
1971 Rigid frame, round tube that was squared using fiberglass
and bondo!
Coffin shaped gas tank molded into frame using above mentioned
materials.
16" rear and 19" front spoke rims & tires with mechanical drum
brakes on both.
Square girder front end, not sure of year, but hard to find.
Paint by local old time hippy named MartMan in Cary, IL Chrome
by good fried Chris McFadden at Orange County Plating, Orange
CA.
Seat by Alligator Bob of Advanced Custom Design, Lake Villa, IL
