This is a Dual Carb 80" Knucklehead motor that I recently rebuilt for an old bobber. 

More Police Panheads??  Thats right, and another original paint special order bike being treated with loving care here at The 74 Shop.  We are your home for Panheads.

What We Do

We build antique HD's to ride!  Happy motoring.

My Wife and I on our recent trip out west.  We flew to Denver and picked up a new Electra-Glide for a 12 day road trip trough Coloarado, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana.  We covered 6 national parks and 2800 miles in 10 days of riding.  I highly reccomend a trip like this for anyone who likes to really get out there and ride.

This is my good friend Nick who also came along for the ride.  Here he is with scenic Jackson Lake and the Teton Mountains in the background.  He was there the whole trip to remind me I really am #1 in his book.  Thanks for all your support Nick.

Thanks for checking out my website.  I specialize in 1936 - 1972 HD Big Twins.  Let me know if I can be of service to you.  My real passion is rebuilding & detailing original paint motorcycles, especially Panheads.  This website will give you a good overview of the work I do.  Please give me a call if you have some questions.  I'd love to earn your business.

 Here's an original paint unrestored 1957 period modified panhead with all the trimmings possible.  Did I mention it has only 247 original miles.  Oh yeah, its for real!!!
