[jj1340]

nice work time bro!

[bkbklowrider]

wow man amazing work ive got a 1980 gs550l suzuki im in the process of turning into a pan head this gave me alot of insperation

[ericlebron]

Hats off to you brother. Masterful job on the rebirth of a legend like that. Was most of the work done in your garage? How long did this project take you? Hard to imagine you actually let it go after all that work. Would've kept that one as a family heirloom.

Great job regardless, can't wait to see your next build. Mad Respect.... E......SoCal.

Believe it or not I built it in a 6' x 16' enclosed trailer while my garage was being built. Outside in Ohio during the winter with an electric heater. I did all of the work except for the heads, and shooting the paint on the tank and frame. It was the first time for all, the biggest pain was relacing the back wheel, that took me hours, but well worth it. It was tough to part with, and regret it each day that passes.

Good job, i cant say more than has already been said below, envy.

[211for11]

u like that ima play that at your funeral,,,,\m/ love that bike man olschool larry style

[mutterschied]

You did it, fella. Every pinky ultra-terrennial hi-tech spatial pukin' Ness derivatives can now go peacefully to the next Blue Oyster Cult where they belong. This is THE bike, the real one itself. Congrats.

Old School will Always Rule!!

[stefthescottgray]

This may seem a stupid question.. But where would you go to find bikes to rebuild.. as it's been a dream of mine for almost 20 years, but shit always came up and kids, etc.. any suggestions?? I really want to do it myself so its mine and haven't a clue where to start. Stef

[shovelheadshawn]

ride hard ride free

[ZoneIII]

Nice job! Nice bike and video too. The bike reminds me of my 1950 Harley which I sold in the early 70s.

[GUSGRC]

Special.Nice work...

[colbycous01]

love your ol scoot, but why did you use billet for your forwards, and lisence plate? i got a 69 sporty just like yours. never even thought of billet. it takes away from the "ol scool" you went from a "10" to a "9.5" but thats just my opinion. gotta love that old thick ass chrome. they dont do it like that anymore, too bad

[briguy1130]

I can't believe how nice that old chrome looks. I gotta get a panhead someday...love that old school look.

[MrRockabillytom]

Nice job. and good looking Old school chopper.

[peckerwoodusa]

etcommunications Nice build!!

I`ve got a 50 pan also. Did you have to change valves out to burn unleaded gas?Thanks for the video

[Gravstein666]

I really loved this film! Just to see how it get's re born, and excellent build up again. And the beutiful color you'd picked :D

[novacatz67]

any one know poppy??

[USETHEFORCEGODDAMNIT]

Gorgeous, it's so incredible, I've been wanting to find a nice oldie to fix up, but amazing. This video is getting faved, the whole story is documented, it's incredible, what an intricate and beautiful machine.

[BOBBERtheKID]

Great Job I love period correct scoots, and for those asking the first song is "In Time" by Mark Collie and the second is Nine Inch Nails "Hurt" covered by Johnny Cash

[CarloXLH87]

Wow amazing, try to keep it original with the parts you found on it :)

[irishman922]

wwow i am speechless. i wold have personally kept it all original, but that's me. either way, nice build

[DWG2001Harley]

Let me know if you need help putting it together. I had a '63 Panhead.

[etcommunications]

DWG2001Harley,

Thanks for the offer, its all together as shown here. In fact all together many tanks of gas and sold to a guy in MA for $14,500. Needless to say he was a very happy guy when he seen it in person. I do miss it now, cant find another one like it anywhere.

[Mrmotorhead87]

@etcommunications You surely will never brother. Most now are either in old mechanic / bikers heated garages or in museums for Harley Davidson. Its a shame, really that the world turned to a fast, cheap, buy, break, throw away world. These old bikes are truly real works of arts. congrats on the sick Panhead you restored.

[soloride666]

@DWG2001Harley nice , I have a 51 panhead it has springer front end , 35 degree rake , 18 inch overstop extension.

[Barbouses]

and the second one too ^^

[Barbouses]

[ironslede68]

man that's cool, i love to see them brought back to life. great job

[MrAlexGrunge]

Hey,what are the names of the songs?

P.S. - A really amazing bike! Harley-Davidson is my favorite old school chopper)))

[bigrig4321]

[dragpipe1]

[etcommunications]

!!!!BIKE WAS SOLD FOR $14,500 !!!

[MikeChambers1001]

THAT CHOP ROCKS ! nice job of restoring...I've seen a lot of old choppers from the 70 s and some are ugly or weird ,but this one was worth the effort ...has a nice rake and trail and no weird neck angle configuration ! The tank was a nice update still retro looking but (I think ) looks better than the coffin style ! ....and a SPRINGER ! GEEZ !hope you still got her and ride her.....dont store it in a barn for 30 yrs ! LOL .....Mike

[RzeszowRider]
