Grant's Panhead

Certain styles have nearly infinite shelf lives. Things like good boots, black paint and 1911 pistols are just fine the way they are and you won't get tired of them after the shine wears off and trends fade on into whatever the next thing is. Grant's pan is one of those bikes. No feats of engineering, no statement to be made, just a simple old motorcycle that anyone would be proud to blast around on.

Bike name: Dynamite

Engine: 1949 FL

Frame: Stock with Paughco neck

Fork: Wide Glide- normally it has a beard, but it shaved for the photo shoot

Chassis mods: A little rake and some other gardening 

Tire/wheel size and style: There's Liquor up front poker in the rear

Favorite thing about this bike:  The rear fillister screw underneath my primary...dead sexy

Next modification will be: Caleb or JD making me a new sissy bar, mids, and some new bars...a fender, maybe some new wheels, seat, tranny, tank, shifter, cables, throttle, I like saying petcock so lets put one of those down, maybe some tires too. 

Other mods, accessories, cool parts, etc: Bates, Moon, Avon, Hot Dog, Foot Clutch, Hand Shift, Spool, Jimmy Walker- which one of these doesn't belong? Or is it a trick question? 

Any building or riding story or info you'd like to include: Yea, that guy that won the 'Cocktagon' down at slab last year, just wanted to let everyone know he is a total "poofter" and when you see him on the EDR in a few months- you have my permission to kick him in the nuts. He's lucky I wasn't there, my wife wouldn't let me go. I had chores. And counseling. And yoga.

Thanks to: Victory Electric Tattoo, JJ, Walt, Gilby, DD, Hot Dog, Flathead Fern,BB from CC, Flash Gordon, Wes, Rockabilly Jay aka Road King Jay (you have my permission to nut-kick him too), Jah Rastafari, Poonagle, super G, Jeff the plumber/electrician/florist, and my spiritual advisor John Parker.
