1953 panhead kick start

[ZoneIII]

Brings back memories of kick-starting my 1950 Harley. Of course, you had to remember to never lock your knee or you might get thrown in the air!

Thanks Dave

Man that is sweet. Love the sound of that bike. At one point it sounded just like a trotting horse. You are a luck man.

is that whole bike a '53? it looks like a newer bike and old motor. nice btw.

[dragpipe1]

The motor and trans are original, as well as the frame. But it was modified in the rear and some of the original tabs were chopped and bonded smooth. It has a newer front end (70's), and the rear brake was converted to disc. Its nowhere near original, cause i use it as an everyday runner.

[irishman922]

wow thats sweet. i personally love panheads. they look sweet. lol.
