Todd describes starts and rides this 1955 Panhead bobber. We are revisiting this one because it had a sumping oil pump which Duncan Keller has now fixed for me.
Just finished watching. Don't think I've ever seen this beautiful ride before. Think I'm in love! The red and black looks great. If I had this bike (I wish!) I would never part with it.
Engine sounds fresh and strong. Wasn't expecting the electric start on a '55. Didn't notice the tin primary had been swapped out first time I watched the video. Nice build, a real rider.
Beautiful Pan! For my two cents' worth, I'd get rid of the electric start and disc brakes and go back to vintage, but other than that, it's a perfect dream ride. Good job and love the colors.
I'm not a big fan of bobbers n choppers , or custom bikes in general but I really like that bobber , mainly because it reminds me of a little stock sporty , it would make a nice little bar hopper to add to some bodies collection .
I have a question, do you think trading a vtx1300r 05 for a 70s old school triumph chopper would be a fair trade? I dont know if you know the answer but I admire your wisdom and knowledge about bikes
I had a 1950 EL which later got chopped. You can see what it looked like before then at the beginning of my music video "Old Harley Breakdown Blues" on TH-cam at th-cam.com/video/_ZYN8f8FLYA/w-d-xo.html . Also check out "I Want to Ride" at th-cam.com/video/u9wj8fprWB0/w-d-xo.html
Arrrggghhhh no helmet! LOL. Watch out or the Kalifornia Kommies will have yer law breaking ass deported in lieu of a few democratic voters...haha. Nice lil scooter. Pans are my favorite. Great lookin bike!
+Lucy Fir I have a Pan with same number set up because the LHS case got destroyed, when you put a new case on you have to go to CHP and get this done, the numbers arent fake and the bike isnt necessarily stolen
Second time I watched it never get tired of watching your videos so much info to absorb
i found your channel few days ago and i can't stop watching it
Same here

That was one of the nicer rides I've seen. I'd be damn proud to own that one.
Taco I agree mate, this is stunning. I don't normally like to see painted rims but this really works well a lifts the bike. Fantastic again guys
I love it! I tossed some vintage style tires on my Ironhead hardtail, but wow what an awesome bike you have .. Two thumbs up!!
Man that is beautiful!
I still luv the bobbers the best of all Harleys.
Sweet little bar hopper! Dig the color scheme too, looks great
The Great Lakes Piper Bar hopper?? bikes like this were and should be ridden coast to coast. by guys like me.......
been around scoots my whole life but that next to my sled is the prettiest I've ever seen and I've seen plenty.
This is the type of bike I would like to have.
i like how you did the electric starter on a 55 i would love to hear more on that....thumbs up.....
simple, change the motor shaft and the primary with an electric start trans
great.... wanna do mine......
lol
HuntingHarleys simple but awesome
D Edwards I know how! I put an electric starter on my 59 rigid Panhead (59 flh 1127)
Glad you got it fixed now...

Doesn't get much better than that!
Very cool bike! All I have left original is the frame.
I have owned many over the years
That's a sweet ride.
Sweet. I wish I knew more about them because I'd love to have a bike like that.
no time like the present to start learning
LoL! Go to the bank, get some money and buy one... You'll learn all you'll ever need to know!
Very nice looking bike!
That bike looks amazing.

A thing of beauty
That oil drop!!😂😂😂
I run a Mallory Unilite distributor on my 55. Don't need electric start. That's a beautiful sled though. I like the front disc.
PANHEADS FOREVER
Love it, John what would this cost these days? And thanks for everything you've taught me.
LOL, replace that red with some 22 (slime) green and we in business !
Really beautiful ride, Bro
super nice w/el start
I think I just fell in love.
Beautiful bike !
Anyone know the exhaust on this! I have a stock ish 55 and would like to make it sound and look like this exhaust
Sweet Ride for sure !!!!!

Glad its electric start.... Kicking it looks like a pain in the ass. Nice bike.

Whats the difference between straight leg and regular wishbone frame? I heard you say something like that in this or the other video.
I'll make a video to try and explain

Dave Beach, correct, that is what was done
That’s my dream bike! Dammit!
That sound makes my toe curl up in my boot...

Beautiful I Love It
Todd, how much would a bike like that go for today? Beautiful and really fun looking..
anywhere from 10 to 25K in the USA
I want to put that primary and electric start on my 62 panshovel. Any info and details would be appreciated. Thanks
start with rebuilding the motor to have the right primary drive shaft. Should I continue?
has to be my fav bike
yes Thomas Toews
love it man
Nice Panhead...! GREAT...! YEAH...! I ride a Panhead too, and i build it in bobber style.
What a georgous piece of iron
Beautiful 💪🏻🐺
Get a New York Registration, then getting title in PA should be easy.
What year frame and springer is on this?
To many years ago

I once knew a guy with a 55 he rebuilt. It was and still is the most beautiful bike I've ever had the privilege of riding. Even if it was bitch.
пэнхэд.. жаль что у меня такого никогда не будет, потому что живу в "замечательной" стране.. крутой аппарат
Harley's I know, those bikes I am clueless about
Oh the 80s
Where do you find these,
look under every "stone"
are those original bars?
Now thats fucking cool as shit!
Don't worry folks The Captain will be back he just went to Taco Bell for lunch 🔔
Can I ask what state your in
Los Angeles California
Do you have a website or phone number,I really love some of this rides you have
everything has been sold some years back. If I get any new inventory, which is doubtful any time soon, I will post a video of it and on my instagram
now that is fucking cool
peanut and s&s? u like to push 'em!
Nice ride dude, now get that jerk driving that 18 wheeler to move that monstroucity of a vehicle out of the way.
hellava machine!
How much is a bike like this worth
value is subjective, I sold this for $20,000. I could not build it for close to that amount
hey do you sell bikes ?
hattsmotorcycles.com/html/custom_built.html
Made in America: Bret Hatt and His Rebuilt Harleys ... searching and google it !
This was his creation .
That's an easy 10
electric FAKES?
Arrrggghhhh no helmet! LOL. Watch out or the Kalifornia Kommies will have yer law breaking ass deported in lieu of a few democratic voters...haha. Nice lil scooter. Pans are my favorite. Great lookin bike!
If it doesn't leak oil it's not a Harley.
i can't stand those tires on a machine like that...
fake numbers that bike was stolen and chopped sad but true
+Lucy Fir it is in Japan now, and US customs said those numbers were just fine, or it would of never left the USA. Sad but true
+Lucy Fir I have a Pan with same number set up because the LHS case got destroyed, when you put a new case on you have to go to CHP and get this done, the numbers arent fake and the bike isnt necessarily stolen
oh oops
hey look at me no helmet im cool
Hate those, if I had my way, I'd never wear them
Electric starter on a 55 panhead no hell nooo
