Overview
This 1955 Harley Davidson FLHF Panhead is an early year production model. Built during the first 6 months of 1955, the Pans (valve covers) only have 6 bolts attaching them to the heads. Mid-year production models have 12 bolts per cover. These are the correct covers, gaskets, and heads, all with 6 bolts. This motorcycle is currently owned by the third owner. Originally sold as a PD bike, this 1955 Harley FLHF was then sold in the San Francisco area where it resided for over 30 years.

The restoration is so incredible that it received First in Class recognition at the LA Nationals in 2015.
