This blog
is my way of sharing the passion I have for vintage motorcycles. You will find
photography from the past found on the web, but also photographs shot in the
shack with the progress of my projects or shots with friends on the road and
much more. Eventually I will also post motorcycles parts I would like to sell
or trade. If you own the rights to any photos I post and want them to be
removed, please let me know. Comments and suggestions are always welcome, Feel
free to contact me, email is
Enjoy!

Steering cups and some other stuff ...

This week couldn't work much to the Pan. Just a few updates.


Steering cups installer ...


Cups are in the frame


Jiffy stand and rocker clutch foot pedal installed. I've started to put some wires ...


Rear brake pedal assembled, haven't connected to the crossover shaft yet, soon I'll have to fit the squish pipe underneath the motor. Oil pressure gauge mounted to the oil pump.

Panhead final assembly

I spent the past two weeks to set things up here and there, finished exhaust pipes and sent to chrome, I've got stuff back from the chromer and from Denis who helped me out to rebuild the transmission.The frame is back and ready to roll. Final assembly is on its way ... 


'77 ratched top transmission rebuilt


Frame back to the shack in its bright black shiny shape. Gorgeous to me, so much work behind this final result. 


Ready to put the motor in the frame


Smooth the paint where the engine lean on the frame


The motor in its place, nice and much easier than I thought. no scratches on the paint job. Good boy ..


Trans, seat and gas tank have joined the frame. I will keep this "primer" look for a while ... No regret ... I'm still very undecided on paint.
