55 Harley Panshovel

Looks SO much better without that third trimester abortion of a rear wheel it came with

The front end sucks. You can see the wideglide in the background that I’m trying to convince him to put on. I verified the wheel he has will work.

The same, they made awful bikes.

My shovelhead is an AMF bike. :slight_smile:

And you’ve made it better. :stuck_out_tongue:

What is the advantage of the wide glide front end? He can run a wider front tire? Or it just looks better? Not being a Richard, just curious.

I just think it looks better. It would be very similar to the second bike walker posted.

Am I the only one that doesn’t hate the springer? A new headlight bucket and removing the front brakes would be nice… but you said he’s a newer rider. Front brakes may still be necessary, lol.

I thought the front-end looked pretty cool and vintage… I little bit of modern look to the front end wouldn’t hurt, but I wouldn’t say it looks bad as-is.

looks like a springer tho - bleh. just too much going on up there. needs normal forks IMO

I will agree that the ‘normal’ wide glide front end will be a better fit, especially with those covered rear shocks. It’ll look good.

If it was a vintage springer it’d be cool, but it’s from a 90’s softail… The problem is the headlight can’t really relocate to anywhere else because of that damper on the springer… idk… I just think the WG would be better. I’m going to at least throw it on to see how it looks.

oh I got ya now… right on

A few updates.

Shaved the wideglide and installed it. Looks a zillion times better. Also won a peanut tank and put it on for the hell of it. Looks a lot better. I’m really feeling this. Needs a speedmaster front tire. Getting closer. Had to weld riser bosses onto the bars because the spacing on the WG wouldn’t take the risers. I bent up this micro sissy and I’m kinda feeling it. It’s not attached to anything right now But I think it sorta looks cool.

Oh yeah, I also redid my garage since I have so much more room since I sold my BMW.

i cant see the pics at work
-____-

When did this happen?

like… whoa.

Way different. I like the AMF tank but that one fits well.

Glad to help with the garage, it turned out sweet.

I still don’t like that peanut tank. -_-

I want that wassell style pnut tank so bad. lol.

I have an indented sporty tank on the way as well so if I don use it maybe I’ll sell it to you.
