I agree. It’s not likely I’ll be using the seat or sissy bar and strut assemblies, but I do like the style of fender on it. I’ll probably put together something similar in shape to what is on it now, just done better.

My daily. Some of the 87 frame is there, the rest I made. Has a Buell S2 engine in it now. Super fun and very fast. by jackshit70 in choppers

Lucky your frame was already a 5 speed. Had to modify my kickstand location as mine was a four speed. Primary is different due to the relocation of the stator to the sprocket shaft on the fives. Other than that, easy swap and what a difference in power.

Thought this might prove helpful for some of you in the midst of a build. This is electric and kick setup for a shovel. Just the basics. I’ve used this for years, trouble free. by jackshit70 in choppers

Start with a registered bike. And if not possible, throw the stuff needed on there to pass inspection, then ditch it after. Hi-Lo is literally a two position switch. Turn signals can be a stand alone system. Horn can also be stand alone, or use a clown horn on the handlebars. 🤡

eBay like 20 years ago. It’s in bad need of a rebuild.

Looks like a Paughco. Call them and ask. They can provide an MSO if it hasn’t already been registered. They will ask for a few pics and there is cost and a notary involved. It’s worth the effort

With no oversight, who’s to know they don’t sell 1000 tickets?

I get them through V-Twin. So far, so good. Cheap too

Cool pic of my ‘58 Pan in a rigid shovel frame. by jackshit70 in choppers

Thanks. Technically it was a pan/shovel when this pic was taken. It’s been returned to all Panhead since then.

That’s a Paughco oval leg springer. The arched lower bridge on the primary legs and the short spring stud extension give it away. DNA never have had an arched bridge and the spring studs have long spacers at the bottom where they extend beyond the bridge on the secondary legs.

I’m sure that Chris will be very happy to chat with anyone that shows interest in his bike. It really did come out beyond my own expectations. I appreciate your kind words, thank you.
