Richard Millard built my Panhead engine, and it is running like a top. After all the stress of getting it done, it really is making all that money and time seem worthwhile now it's truly being put to the test (and now I have heard more horror stories from other H-D owners about certain other UK shops). Rich runs Skull Chopa (I hope they change that name!) with partner Ian in the countryside near Lincoln. They are building some nice machines (their latest Pan is above.) Check out their blog.

Same story here Guy....I feel very fortunate to have a 'one stop' shop nearby ( Pacific HD) and as you know, just finished a full engine rebuild. I also happily enjoy a good relationship with them, enabling me to participate in the process, performing some of the work. I still spent a significant amount of money and agree it's shown to be very worthwhile, the bike is running fantastic.
My go to bloke for old Harley work is Rev, or the Reverend, at Upton on Severn near Worcester. He knows his way around Harleys and has a practical approach to bikes. He's good with Pans, Shovels and Evos. Shovelhead Smith
