Description
Beautiful Original 1948 EL Panhead.
Fresh out of a 39-year-collection! Investment bike. For the man who seeks perfection in original Harley parts. Don't let this black and Chrome cowgirl fool you. She is original, correct, and loaded with period correct accessories. This doll is ready for show, go, and judging. This beauty is a rare EL, the first year of the Panhead engine and the last year for the Springer front end. “Note how the heads are natural aluminum and the barrels are painted flat black. Note the Hex style rear axle. The tappet guides are aluminum finish, replaces the cast iron. Note the cad plated steel manifold instead of the cast iron.” “How to restore your Harley Davidson” Bruce Palmer III Also important to note is that the barrels for 1948 had no markings, castings or stamps. Overall Condition This rare bike is in very good to excellent condition. Finished in Brilliant Black paint. The chrome is excellent with no pitting and rust. The seat and bags are in excellent shape.
