Nice 1950 Panhead Harley Bobber on Ebay

I like this old Harley Panhead - clean and good lines.


Don't know about those front brakes and think I'd like something to keep the larger animals and rocks out of the carb.

Ebay link is Harley-Davidson : FL:eBay Motors (item 160338969841 end time Jun-07-09 17:00:00 PDT)

Re: Nice 1950 Panhead Harley Bobber on Ebay

My two-cents worth:
Sissy bar is too vertical, needs to angle back.
Flat bottom tank is too high, needs a mid-level tunnel
Tall rear wheel is cool, justlike we used to do
Front brake is '64 to '72 style, works better than an early disc
If someone handed it to me I wouldn't turn it down!!

Looks like it might need some passenger foot pegs, but for me the sissy bar would work quite nice. BabyDoll and her 36 triple Ds (the real deal NOT Memorex) would ensure I have earmuffs to keep me warm on cold days.

Re: Nice 1950 Panhead Harley Bobber on Ebay

The other side of the tank is completely different, like blue stripes. That's what stuck in my memory about the bike, the unique paint job....
