Panhead chopper in a weekend








OK, a very slight exaggeration, but six years ago when my mate Buzz flew up to my place in Sydney with his TIG, we knew we had a long hot weekend to turn a frame, springer and a motor into a working motorcycle.

Buzz made the pipes, seat mounts, tank mounts, brackets... and we de-cluttered the Paughco frame and got the bike assembled, all in those few days.

It only took a couple more days once Buzz was gone to bend up some struts, rattle can the frame and tank and fire the bike up.

Good times with a good friend.

The bike is still the same and runs like a dream.
I should know, I own it.
Do you want some pic of it?
Regards Rusty
