OLD 1948 HARLEY PANHEAD FL KNUCKLEHEAD PANHEAD FLATHEAD

OLD 1948 PANHEAD IN AS FOUND CONDITION. I GOT IT FROM AN OLD GUY WHO SAID IT HAD SAT FOR 20 - 30 YEARS. I CLEANED THE CARB, HANGED THE OIL, DDED SOME FUEL LINES, AS AND A BATTERY AND IT FIRED UP. I HAVE HAD MY FUN WITH IT, OW IT IS TIME FOR THE NEW OWNER TO HAVE SOME FUN WITH IT. IT STARTS, UNS, RUNS GOOD, OESN'T SMOKE) RIDES, TOPS AS IT SHOULD. THE HEAD LIGHT, AIL LIGHT, ND HORN ALL WORK. AS WITH MANY OLD BIKES SOME THINGS HAVE BEEN CHANGED OVER THE YEARS, HE OBVIOUS IS THE REAR FENDER HINGED SECTION AND OF COURSE THE HANDLEBARS AND SPEEDO. WHAT IS NOT SO OBVIOUS IS IT HAS AN INLINE REAR FORK, HE FRONT LEG IS A 14. I THOUGHT ABOUT FINDING AN OFF SET FORK AND SPRINGER BARS FOR IT HOWEVER NEVER DID AND JUST DECIDED TO ENJOY RIDING IT THE WAY IT WAS AND LET THE NEXT OWNER DO SO IF THEY CHOOSE TO. THE REAR FENDER TAIL SECTION IS THE LATER ONE PIECE THAT WAS OBVIOUSLY REPLACED YEARS AGO BY LOOKING AT THE CRACKING IN THE OLD LAQUER PAINT AND I THOUGHT IF I DID FIND THE CORRECT TAIL PIECE I WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO MATCH THE PATINA OF THE PAINT WITH THE CRACKING SO I DECIDED TO NEVER CHANGE IT. CARB IS A LINKERT M75. TO BE HONEST I HAVE NEVER HAD THE SKID PLATE OFF TO LOOK AT THE BELLY #'S. I AM 99% SURE THEY MATCH JUDGING BY THE #'S ON EACH CASE HALF BY THE REAR MOTOR MOUNT BOLTS. EACH CASE HALF HAS A 7 STAMPED IN IT. I HAVE A PICTURE OF THIS. YOU ARE MORE THAN WELCOME TO COME AND PULL THE SKID PLATE OFF IF YOU WANT TO BEFORE BIDDING, JUST DON'T HAVE THE TIME. IF YOU BUY THE BIKE AND YOU GET IT HOME AND YOU FIND OUT THEY DO NOT MATCH I WILL REFUND YOU THE FULL AMOUNT IN EXCHANGE FOR THE BIKE BACK. THAT IS HOW SURE I AM THEY MATCH. THIS IS A NICE OLD BIKE THAT HAS THE BARN FRESH LOOK EVERYONE IS AFTER OR IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A BIKE TO TEAR APART AND FULLY RESTORE HERE IT IS. I KNOW WHAT THESE THINGS ARE WORTH AND I THINK THE RESERVE IS MODEST AND LOWER THAN WHAT IT IS WORTH. I WILL ASSIST YOUR SHIPPER IN ANYWAY I CAN. I AM LOOKING FOR A 1950 MOTOR FOR THE YELLOW AND WHITE 1950 CHASSIS IN THE BACK GROUND. IF YOU KNOW OF ONE LET ME KNOW. E-MAIL ME WITH QUESTIONS AND OFFERS. I WILL ENTERTAIN ALL OFFERS.
