Motorcycles in Milan, Indiana

1958 Panhead FL.  Bike has been sitting for at least 30 years, maybe longer.  I purchased the bike 11 years ago from an owner who had parked it in his basement for over 20 years and then it took me 10 more years to get around to working on it. (too many projects)  I have rebuilt the Linkert carburetor.  Installed new plugs, points and condenser.  Disassembled, cleaned and verified condition of oil pump.  Rebuilt master cylinder and rear wheel cylinder.  Cleaned fuel tank.  New oil and filter.  Replaced all damaged wiring including sockets and bulbs as required.  Cleaned and tested charging system.  New battery.  Adjusted clutch and lubricated all cables. The bike has a patina that many people look for in an antique bike.  The chrome is not perfect and it has the oil film and dirt that was deposited over the years.  I was careful not to disturb that look while doing repairs but can be easily cleaned up if you desire..  This bike is not a pristine show bike but rather a great daily rider that looks, runs and handles just like it did back sixty years ago.  A fun bike to ride to the cruise in as everyone comes over to look.  My goal was to add it to the collection but the wife says we have too many so I spent my time making certain everything worked while it ran and drove as it should.
