1951 Panhead

The 8XE is finished now and work on the 10F is well underway so I thought I’d try something different before I start on the 8D.

l always struggle to find a regular daily rider that I’m happy with and the reason is that I always end up compromising between functionality and having a ‘cool’ style.


This is a late 51 with a hand clutch, 12 volt, belt drive and a super E carb. Trouble is it also has awful disc brakes and crappy style.

I’m going to replace the brakes, Bob it with 19 front and 18 rear wheels, lose some of the chopper look and add a little style. I might add an Ebeyond ignition and a luggage rack!!

I’ve not been riding for the last couple of months due to foot surgery, so now the cast is off I can get out again.  I took the chopper out for a blast; great to be rolling again, especially now we’ve got some decent weather.  Period chopper with 1956 frame and motor with all the right parts.

The up-side of not riding though is that I’ve almost finished the next batch of fender valances and belt guards.  I’ll list them for sale when they’re done.
