@joe-norris Sounds awesome Joe! I've got a '64 pan, but its kick only, of course and no sidecar. Try to dig up a picture of you and the panhead ...
I thought the bike was pretty sharp, styled after the 1969 ElectraGlide. Of course I am biased! Those new sidecar frames show up on Ebay for under 180...
Thanks! I'll not opt to do this from the outset, but will definitely keep this in mind if I find the motor lugging. So this is direct swap? Will the...
