This is an original paint, un-restored 1948 FL Panhead. This one is fresh out of the barn. 

This original paint, un- restored 1948 FL that had been in storage since 1960.  After a few hours of TLC it fired right up and ran great.  What an awesome machine.

This is an original paint, un-restored 1961 FL Panhead with 14,000 miles.  Certainly the nicest, most original 1961 Panhead I've ever seen. 

My 39EL out for a spin.  The bike hit 77,777 miles that day.  Lucky 7's.

Check out this old rider.  This is a 1941 FL Knucklehead with a factory sidecar and 3 speed with reverse tranny.  Over 70,000 miles on this rig.
