Panhead1952
Old Gold II
1952 Panhead, ridden as intended.
The story
The build
Panheads get treated like furniture. This one gets treated like a motorcycle.
Correct motor, correct transmission, rebuilt to run on modern fuel. Everything else is set up for actually going somewhere: modern charging system hidden in the original housing, an oil filter where there wasn't one, and a seat that doesn't punish you after ninety minutes.
It looks like 1952 and it runs like it doesn't have to prove anything.
