Description

Up for sale is this all original 1950 EL Panhead. It's a two owner bike that was recently found after sitting since 1968. With some gas and oil the bike fired right up after sitting nearly 50 years. I have rebuilt the carb with new gaskets and a rubber ducky float, nstalled a new 6V HD battery, leaned & adjusted the clutch, djusted the primary chain, nd changed the oil in motor and transmission. The bike runs and rides great. It shifts well in all four gears. The speedometer and tripometer are working, owever, he odometer is not working so true milage is unknown.
The bike was repainted around 1952. You can see the original blue coming out from underneath the black. The motor looks as though it has never been apart. The cylinders, il pump and tappet blocks are all original paint. Cases match. The wiring is all original. Seat and saddlebags are also all original leather. Complete frame with oil tank and primary covers are all original paint. You can see the remnants of the original patent decal on the oil tank. Its basically an all original 1950 Panhead except it was repainted 60 years ago and the muffler was changed. I do have copies of a few pictures from when the 2nd owner bought the bike in 1952 and it looks identical now as it did then, ncluding the lack of Sgt. stripes on the rear fender and the Superior muffler. The toolbox is missing. That's the way I got it.
Give me a call if you'd like more info or make an appointment to come see the bike in person.
Plenty more detailed pics available. I can also send you a brief video of the bike running.
The bike is sold with a transferable registration from Maine.
