1949 Harley Davidson EL Panhead - Fresh Restoration

Sheet metal is original in great condition, appears to be very little body work that had to be completed when this restoration was performed.

Paint is in excellent condition, the tanks and fenders have been painted in a 1949 color "Peacock Blue". The frame and forks have been painted in a shiny black enamel and are in excellent condition. All paint work was completed by a professional shop

All CAD, Chrome, Parkerizing, and Nickel plating is in new and excellent condition. Appears that owner paid attention to detail in making sure that the correct finishes should be where installed

Chrome Rims and Spokes with New Avon Tires, Wheels have been rebuilt and serviced and only have a fee miles on them

This 1949 Panhead is in perfect running condition, it has been gone through by Master Mechanic and Hall of Famer Micah McCloskey. There is only about a dozen miles on this motorcycle to date. Starts very easy with 2 prime kicks and one ignition kick. This was a nut and bolt restoration, so the motor and trans have been built, the bike ahs been rewired using a new cloth wiring harness. Rebuilt Carburetor with Nitrile Float New clutch and drive chains

This is one of the nicest restoration on a panhead that I have seen in a long time. Lots of attention to detail were taken during the restoration. Fits and finishes are perfect, Plating is perfect, lots of the nuts and bolts are faced in the same directions. The Stewart Warner blue face speedometer is correct and was rebuilt by Reed at Texas Speedometer service The original 49 bars are included with the purchase Also there is a nice tandem buddy seat that comes with the bike. With just under 100 miles on this beautiful panhead, it is ready and sorted out for you to add to your collection, take it to shows and impress everyone as the color is a real attracter also I would not hesitate to jump on it and ride it across the country if you are looking for a fresh sorted out machine.
