1954 Harley Panhead cases, Harley jugs, with STD heads, Super E carb with a Boyle air filter and Paughco exhaust.
MSD electronic ignition and a cycle electric Generator. I just did a top end on it because the rear pan gasket was leaking and you have to pull the head to replace, so new gaskets on both cylinders from the base gaskets up. Running
solid lifters and a sifton cam. She' s kick only and fires right up hot or cold once you get the procedure down. She leaves a couple of drips after a long run. Engine has 54 numbers stamped on the VIN block but the belly numbers match and are 56. Was told that because it's an FLE that it was pretty common back then to restamp a VIN if the police motorpool replaced a set of cases.
Just want to be 100% up front so there's no surprises. Clean and clear title!1954 Rachet top four speed with Baker kicker gears, and a JIMS extended kicker arm. Never had it apart so not sure what gear set is in there but it shifts out smooth. It's solid but leaks out of the main shaft as most of them do. Primo
3" open belt drive set up with suicide clutch and jockey shift Frame is a swap meet score so I'm not sure of the manufacturer. It's solid and well made. Zombie narrow zees with a Biltwell whiskey throttle tube sit on top of an old skinny springer.
Chrome is a little crusty on the front end. If it was a show bike I'd have it rechromed but I built it to ride. All new bronze bushings in the pivots and new neck bearings.21" spool front wheel and 16" rear, both with Avon tires. Rear has a JB four piston caliper and a drilled rotor. Rear tire has a shallow groove in it from rubbing a fender bolt when I first finished it. Its clear now but it's only cosmetic so I never changed
it. Has a Le Pera king and queen that's not perfect. Stiches starting to come out in the front and missing a few buttons.
I made the sissy bar and mounted a Biltwell LED tailight. Gas tank and rear fender both came from Biltwell and my buddy that's a PPG trainer laid down the metal flake paint. Pinstriped by Timebomb Kustoms. Bikes a solid runner, if you have never ridden a jockey shift bike with no front brake there is a pretty steep learning curve. It would not be hard to convert to hand clutch and foot shift, just not my style.
