1961 HARLEY DAVIDSON PANHEAD FLH  DUO-GLIDE

This is the one everyone has been looking for!

A VERY VERY RARE hard to find collectors dream MOTORCYCLE!

This bike has had two owners since it was new off the Harley Davidson dealership floor. Purchased BRAND NEW IN LOS ANGELES CA IN 1961

The last owner (one of my best friends) purchased it in 1974 from the original old dude that bought it new from Harley Davidson. My buddy was a factory trained certified Harley Davidson Mechanic for over 40 years and was the only person ever to lay a wrench on this Motorcycle! All of his schooling and certificates were earned in the Harley Davidson factory!

He worked for me in my Harley shop in San Diego Ca for over 12 years from 1990 - 2002 so I have known this bike myself for 26 years.

This 1961 Panhead has never seen a mechanic outside my friend, he purchased the bike with 677 miles on it in 1974. He would never allow anyone to touch his bike.

He rode this Panhead from San Diego to Sturgis and back problem free in 2012.  I was told this bike is 100% original drive train, I know he re-painted it about 30 years ago.

This beautiful Motorcycle has never been modified or molested in any way! Original 6V electrical system still all in working order. Original wiring and glass bulb lights.

I think maybe the seat was recoverd about 30 years ago??

Original California 1961 Black / Yellow Lisc plate on the bike.

NOTE PLEASE READ-----> Before you purchase PLEASE contact me directly on the phone so that I can do a full walk around with detailed description of the motorcycle. I will take more pictures if needed and offer a inch by inch description on this 55 year old vintage Motorcycle.

I have been in the motorcycle business for over 30 years ( I AM NOT A EXPERT ON VINTAGE BIKES) but I know way more than the average person!  

For more info please call/email or text me.

I can also text you back a video of the Panhead running and riding down the road from last weekends little 28 mile ride back and fourth to my local CALIFORNIA car show.

People LOVE this awesome vintage motorcycle history every place I go!

In addition to the flat black and natural aluminum finishes, the Sportster Stealth SuperCoils are offered in flat black with polished aluminum edges. Each SuperCoil mounts directly to the spark plug and features a cross-functional cast aluminum cover that also acts as a heat sink, pulling heat away from the cylinder heads.

Easy Rider 40th Anniversary

Tue, 27 Oct 2009

Peter Fonda, who played Wyatt in the 1969 cult classic, Easy Rider, was in Glendale, CA on Friday to help promote the Blu-Ray release of the film which marks the 40th anniversary.  The movie was scheduled to be shown at the Love Ride event that was canceled this year, instead the film screened at a local Harley-Davidson dealer. One of the film’s main objective was to expose violence and racism in the U.S. in a negative light but instead it seems that it was taken the wrong way with most, glorifying the lifestyle that was portrayed in the film.
