    Never knew a 45' Magnum could be made this way ( Bigger ) , I'm assuming that the cylinders have to be welded in like the flathead/ironhead type of cyliner swap ? How many cc's ? Asking as I know they have to be stroked & its a normal conversion to put the 74' flywheel into a 45' to get a (approx) 950cc racing flathead. This is a real interesting bike & makes me wish I had a copy of that old book called , What fits hat on Harley Davidson , as well as The Custom Chopper Cookbook . Seems those publications sorta fell out of favor after the US fell in love w/Evo's & most riders sold their Knuck's, Pan's, Shovel's & Ironheads to get new Evo powered bikes. Gotta love the twin carbs, modern upside down forks & huge rotor disc brakes on this though, the best of old school hot rodding w/the best handleing & braking TY for posting & wishing you many years of safe & fun riding.

    Looks like a pan head lower end. Pan lower shovel top very common in the 70s. Made for a very reliable engine.

    Nice looking bike. Rear end unusual but is looking ‘correct’ if I can put it that way. I like it.
