1949 Harley Davidson Panhead Bobber / Build overview and startup

"It starts first kick just don't know which kick its gonna be" lol

Damn, started on the first kick! Sounds absolutely stellar!

Absolutely Beautiful, very tastefully done, Indian Larry style.

Beautiful - my kind of custom Harley - clean, light, 16" rear, 21" front, springers, nice/powerful rear brake (we like having the ability to stop on occasion). Very tasteful...

Beautiful man, reminds me of back in the 70’s when I was kid/teen.

that sound... soul-theraphy brother

Well done. Everything you need and most nothing you don’t. One of these days this channel is going to take off. I remember asking myself once, why does this guy only have 9 subscribers??

when she finally busted off she sounds good !!

Wow. Great build, perfect proportions. High art.

Great sounding motor! Beautiful bike! Job well done!

Cool bike. Don't know why the rhythm of it running reminds me of popcorn getting popped doe haha.

God man. Just literally the most beautiful panhead ever

Gorgeous bike man... purrs like a kitty too

I’d give my right kidney to have one of these in my garage! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼

Man sounds healthy!

I also ride a 1949 EL Panhead, tank shift with a rocker foot clutch and an S&S Super E. The trick to starting mine cold is to retard the spark all the way, pull up the enrichener, open and close the throttle with the enrichener on 5 times. Kick it through twice. Then turn on the key, kick it over and it will start first or second kick, every time cold. Hot start, retard the spark, flip the throttle once, kick it through once. Then turn on the ignition, kick it again, fires right up. Of course I've been doing this for 51 years.

I keep coming back to this video. Its so skinny. Sounds great! My pop has a 51 pan and i want it to have this attitude!

What a great bike. Beautiful.

Omg i would wanna keep it if i built it🤣 i love it

Keep on keeping on....sick bike man.
