Love to hear stories like that. A man in love with his bike. Bought my first Harley this year 2019 as a 22 year old. Now i’ve had it for almost a year, and im NEVER selling it
I first got a ride when I was 10 years old on a 62 Panhead. 35 bikes later I'm still drawn to a Panhead head with a generator. lower. The sound and look. Iron American Dream on RUclips.
I've always liked Frisco-styled machines. Not a radical machine - just a clean, great all around road bike. One of the best bikes I've seen in a long time.
It all depends on internals. I have an 08 Night Train with a stage 2 kit. I think that puts it to about a "hot" 103 inch. She will scream. I had a 50 pan about 10 years ago. A real pan and I was one of the nay sayers too. But now that im older and do not want to work on it anymore or kick it for that matter (bones ache more at my age lol) I LOVE my Night Train!
LOVE the oldschool Triumph tail light! SOUNDS like heaven. Never saw S&S w/ a new HD fuel system/ carb , whatever tricky shit you got goin on! NICE Fn Ride my friend!
This bike is just wonderful. It has style, line, stance and attitude. It has an engine that is a design statement in its own right. I'm just thrilled to see it and hear it run, a snarling hound of that rebellion that has given motorcycling life and reason and freedom for all this time, thank Heaven. I'm getting old and I'm frightened that the kids will never get to to experience the golden age of riding as I did and that the means will die away with us. But this bike is a flag in the sun. It means kids with attitude are crafting dreams. It means kids with courage and vision are trading hard won treasure to make dreams metal, and ride them hard. It means kids with a future can blast past olds greys like me and insolently carve a new rebellious path, as it should be. Thank Heaven for kids with attitude and courage. Thank Heaven for firms like S&S that give the kids the tools. Thank Heaven for firms like Rodeo Motorcycles that do the hard things and sculpt these wonders for some to buy and more to inspire. I hope and believe the faith is safe. I hope and trust in the kids to grasp what we had and make it theirs to stand on and reach higher. .
John Edwards, The words you wrote, Sir, are beautiful and so bullseye perfect. They are, in fact, poetic, and as God and Harley-Davidson intended for things to be. Hats off to you from so Cal. Ride Forever!
@Sheridan Isashitstain duh dickhead, reading comprehension requires a bit more effort than just looking at the letters and applying what you imagine they might mean, try again buddy.
I wouldn't worry about the silicone, hell you could pour sand down that motor and it would still run lol. This motor sounds great , in fact I've never heard a pan sound so good. Great carb and ignition set up.I've been running this combo for years and nothing but good things. CV s and Mallory ignition great choice
Nice. I see that it has shovelhead exhaust ports on the heads, nice, and a shovelhead style intake manifold for better breathing. The thick D-rings would be nice on the valve covers. Just don't see many panheads these days.
This is a beautiful bike. but how do sit on it without getting burned by th pipes on one side, and manage not to get your pant leg or bootlace pulled into that revolving belt on the other side.? Does this also have a suicide clutch?
thats the problem with people they think they should buy everything for a bike so its perfect doing it yourself with whatever u had used to be the essence of choppers this is what its about great bike
just came across your video. im riding a 64 flh with s&s and this and that. I was wondering what spark plugs you are using and where its timed at. Thanks great bike wish mine started that easy.
did you have any issues registering the engine with vosa? just wondered as i hear some say the older engines , knuck and pans are pretty poor on emmisions
ryan sanders u got that rite if u find a numbers matching motor in any condition with title for around 7 grand take it I've seen pan motors alone go for 10 I've owned 3 the one I have now I got in 84 for 500 bucks those days are long gone tho
The originals are pretty but their engines are junk next to an S&S and can't take near the horsepower without breaking. For restoration, an original (engines are about five to seven grand). For riding, an S&S.
those pipes are torturing your motor. Just fyi... bro just got a panhead an man I love that sound. love my 1340cc blockhead better tho but pans are always special. sick ride man, ditch those pipes.
+stray cat no backpressure. you need back pressure. check out exashast science. I do hvac for a living. trust me. you need back pressure. stop it from being sluggy and ital run much smoother. dragpipes are awful for power too. Your litturaly draining your power.
Drag pipes are awesome at WOT. Hence the name drag pipes. Everyone has an opinion. I'm sure that s&s has plenty enough torque at low speed to satisfy and rails at wide open throttle! Science.
B Thank you for your comments. When I shot this video, the engine was just assembled, and I didn't want to idle with low oil pressure and the oil wasn't circulating, so it's a little high! Please rest assured that idling will be lower. Other movies include vehicles that have been run-in, so please take a look if you like. Thank you.
On one hand I have to agree, That's more silicon than an entire season of Baywatch. But on the other hand... Doesn't Harley have enough gaskets, skipping out on a few is like a fart in space.
Put away the tube of Silcone, see all that red shit on teh outside? Guess what, the Inside looks just like that! Spend all that money on SS parts, then doop them up with silcone sealer? You just cut it's life span to 1/4 Of what it hould be!
Love them pan heads.have a 65 I've owned since 1967.more reliable than any woman i ever knew lol.
And always ready for a ride! Putt putt
dep deim Hell, I have a toaster that is more reliable than any woman I've ever known. What's yer point?
Really? I had a 48 that broke every damn time I rode it till I got rid of it.
Real quality job with the valve cover sealer. I like the orange color, it just shouts "look at me, I don't leak."
....Martha....
i own a 50 pan that i can kick start with my hand.ive owned her since I was 16.almost fifty years now.✌
Love to hear stories like that. A man in love with his bike. Bought my first Harley this year 2019 as a 22 year old. Now i’ve had it for almost a year, and im NEVER selling it
🤣👏👍I hear ya, I own a ‘51’ panny & my wife, 5ft 3 110 lbs can kick it no problem. GREAT scoots though huh👍👍✌️✌️
I first got a ride when I was 10 years old on a 62 Panhead.
35 bikes later I'm still drawn to a Panhead head with a generator. lower. The sound and look.

A superb, righteous chop. Congratulations on a job well done!
From southern California: Ride Forever!

Without doupt, the Panhead with an S&S-kit is the best goodlooking Harley engine ever made, the look, is just so fantastic, great engine!
Nice sounding pan through those shot guns! Clean scoot! Think I'll build one.

why did he use silicone to seal the heads just buy a gasket kit
That bike is just about perfect.👍
It can't get much better than that!!!
That's a badass bike. Well done. I'd go black rubber on all the pegs just to make it more serious, if that's at all possible.
Nice bike! Those replica motors are nice but expensive. They have a knucklehead version to. I love the knucklehead motor.
LOVE the oldschool Triumph tail light! SOUNDS like heaven. Never saw S&S w/ a new HD fuel system/ carb , whatever tricky shit you got goin on! NICE Fn Ride my friend!
That is a gasket under the rocker covers not silicone and yes S&S engines like these are made in Viola,Wisconsin and certainly not overseas.
CV carb, Mallory timer,same length pipes,Sweet!.....david

Sounds like HELL!!! In a good way...new fuel injection Harley's sound like loud mouth Yamahas

I would not compare the sound of this to a real panhead its a completely different motor
I prefer a oldier pan than a new.
Holy shit that belt drive looks dope as fuck
BEAU, TRES BEAU !!!! MAGNIFIQUE
This is the most beautiful bike i see on you tube so far. Pan head is the best. too bad they made it twin cam.
Nice. I see that it has shovelhead exhaust ports on the heads, nice, and a shovelhead style intake manifold for better breathing. The thick D-rings would be nice on the valve covers. Just don't see many panheads these days.
Well done now ride it .
That's one sweet looking bike!
Nice bike. S&S is the shit! Has been for 60 years! Like Billy Milano said, "What is that fuckin' noise"?! I knew wasn't English in the background.
My boss has a custom bike with a big ole s&s motor, damn does that beast haul.
This is a beautiful bike. but how do sit on it without getting burned by th pipes on one side, and manage not to get your pant leg or bootlace pulled into that revolving belt on the other side.? Does this also have a suicide clutch?
Best sounding pan on the net......so far.
Sick build
CV's sure make life easier.
Kick ass ride dude, very nice.
nice job putting that together
Looks like fun to ride.
Just gotta love a panhead!
thats the problem with people they think they should buy everything for a bike so its perfect doing it yourself with whatever u had used to be the essence of choppers this is what its about great bike
Simple and clean........ Nice work!!!!
If your refering to the drive between the engine and the gear box its a toothed belt and not a chain.
where'd you get that exhaust?, I would like to get the same for mine, s+s panhead
Glad I caught this old vid!! SWEEET......
Nice bike. Why would anybody down vote this?
What about kick starting a S&S 103" Panhead.Need a compression release?
just came across your video. im riding a 64 flh with s&s and this and that. I was wondering what spark plugs you are using and where its timed at. Thanks great bike wish mine started that easy.
Sweet bike bro I like it a lot!!
How do you kick? The cubic inches are too high
Helps to turn the ignition on, no? :-)
Those first kicks are to prime the engine, meant to be done with ignition off.
joseph broomhead Makes sense, Joseph. Old School stuff. :-)
Prime kick on a new engine? My 49 panhead doesn't even need any prime kicks starts easier without.
Sweet... nice shotguns... gotta luv S&S!
Nice!
ichy bon. Did I peel it right?
a brand new S&S motor SNS carburetor and it started first kick. I wonder how many times it took it get a start on the first Kik Frozen
did you have any issues registering the engine with vosa? just wondered as i hear some say the older engines , knuck and pans are pretty poor on emmisions
that's not an old engine it's modern and old ones are exempt anything pre 74 is usually exempt a s it ad no emissions equipment from the factory
Hi, where to get the middle control?
WHAT C.I. IS THAT IM PUTTING TOGETHER A 88 C.I. WONDERING HOW SHE WILL SOUND
what kind of chain is that?
i know it has a specific name?
It's a primo man
Great Sound
SWEET!!!
very , very good !!!
Sounds fucking lovely
Magnifique moto
Love It God theres no better sound

I'm Ron Burgundy?

Fukn nice!
Why the letters "SS-USA"? SS engines 'r' made by Daewoo at Korea....
My 2014 S&S T111 motor is made in the USA....
Get rid of the multi pegs. Pick one set.
Pra mim o mais belo motor da Haley
Nice
NICE!!
and they put turn signals on it
and now you don't want me on their webpage anymore f*** them
...REAL MEN LOVE JESUS
not bad for a ss bike I like real ones tho
its just hard to find good condition originals for a good price
ryan sanders u got that rite if u find a numbers matching motor in any condition with title for around 7 grand take it I've seen pan motors alone go for 10 I've owned 3 the one I have now I got in 84 for 500 bucks those days are long gone tho

I owned a ‘51’ PANNY. LOVED IT!! STILL upsets me that I HAD to sell it😔😢
Zms . kmflrkmm kickoff
THE RIMS SUCK TOO........................
and now 814 Stroud me
Idle way to high doesn't sound like a pan
B Thank you for your comments. When I shot this video, the engine was just assembled, and I didn't want to idle with low oil pressure and the oil wasn't circulating, so it's a little high!

Nice bike, but silicone doesnt belong any where near an engine imo.
Mines a 113 ci and kick only
so sad , an expensive engine and sealed with silicon?come on man , buy a fucking gasket kit and do it rigth
I know, I would do that to my rat bike but a nice looking bike and that silicone looks so awful on that beautiful engine. More money than taste maybe?
On one hand I have to agree, That's more silicon than an entire season of Baywatch. But on the other hand... Doesn't Harley have enough gaskets, skipping out on a few is like a fart in space.

That shit ever get lose ,good by oil system, = $$$$ not good🤔👀 KILLER Panhead 👍😎
It aint a Pan if it dont leak
Miles it's not leaking. Just marking it's territory.
All that noise and it can't out run a Honda 250 😂
got enough silicone on them valve covers rookie.................
Silcon and cant turn the ignition! He shouldn't Be anywhere near a vehicle. He's got plenty of money obviously more dollars than he's got cents
