1951 Harley-Davidson EL Panhead Chopper Authentic for Sale

This 1951 EL Panhead is an authentic, vintage, Harley Davidson Chopper.

It also has many period correct " chopper era" parts. This engine was rebuilt beautifully before the longtime owner had health issues and then the bike was put away and stored for several years after his death. Once acquired, two new coils and a new battery were

added by LIVE FREE CYCLES, I rebuilt the carb, and this thing has run beautifully for me. I HAVE THE ENGINE REBUILD SHEET, explaining the engine re-builder used an H-cam, Andrews gears, installed Rockers, did a valve job, new guides. and several receipts which show the effort the previous owner had put into the engine and overall maintenance.

" It is so rare to find an engine done beautifully which is not in need of being torn down. With that said, it is a 69 year old bike and will require some periodic maintenance. (like any bike really) I always want to be honest and I would never intentionally mislead a seller. So please don't buy this bike and think you are not used to a vintage,

kick-start, suicide clutch, jockey-shift chopper. This is the best running PANHEAD, I have ever owned and the most fun to ride. The tires have great tread but the rear tire is showing some dry rot.

I ride old bikes with old tires but I always tell people the truth, aim to give an accurate description of what I am selling, so you may want new tires for your own reassurance and safety. This bike really is solid and while it is a Harley, it doesn't leak more than a drop or have issues with sumping. The lights work, has a horn. With that said, it is a '51 frame, '51 transmission, STD dual-plugged heads, and what I believe are original or period correct tanks. That along with history of this bike being the previous owners pride and joy, this chopper was done TIGHT, and RIGHT.
