Pan Dreams

True Blue

Funny how shit works sometimes. I never thought I'd ever get a Panhead project in my hands, but as of today I'm working with, albeit the muttiest damn pan on earth, but a Pan project nevertheless. Sold Dale at just the right time, made the right drunken pitch for Brian to sell me one of his 4 generator mills, something shiny dangled in front of his face, and whammo! Welcome home Panhead. 

 

 Seriously, though this would not have been made possible if my man Jessop hadn't made a fucking amazing package deal up for me. I'm drinkin' to you tonight, sir (I was drinkin' anyway).  You're true blue, mate. I won't forget it. Cheers!

Now what are we lookin at here? Good question. Here's the rundown. Let's start with the motor. Today I brought home a basket bottom end of a Panhead. Left case is a '51 and the right a '64 (hey I warned you it was a mutt). I've got the flywheels, cam side gears, etc. pretty much complete. Brian also threw in lifter blocks, pushrods, and a set of shovel jugs and pistons in case I can't wait and go to a PanShovel setup. Just looking for heads and rocker boxes yet.

The frame is a '58 Panhead frame I got from the Red Deer swap last year. Its Stretched in the down tubes and backbone just a bit and raked. It will remain a swinger with those little sprung strut things. I traded a 35mm front end for it. Habahaha. The forks are chromed 33's with 6" over tubes. These and the Juice drum brake on the 16" wheel from the first pic I got from Brian at the Chop Meet. Looking to transfer the Juice drum to a 19" Akront Shouldered Rim that's on it's way from outta town. The front wheel is a 19 Dunlop with a hallcraft mini drum. I'm hoping to get a 1.60 21" rim to lace the hub to. Tank is a fiberglass sporty. Might go for a frisco style narrowed sporty later on...{sneezing}HamBone-. So there we go. A long road ahead, but it's Jordan's Panhead.

Dice 46

If you ever needed a great reason to buy a DicE Subscription, here it is. Local Saskatoon super dude Cory has his killer CB in the latest offering of the coolest chop mag going. Photos by yours truly, paint by our resident Hate_Machine, Cole Jabush, and pin striping by Dekay. Mostly you get to see some pictures of the Golden Dragon so there ya go.

New Obsession

Really dig the look of these FRISCO style Choppers. 
Think I should start collecting parts...! 

Fenders and franks.

Got a good thing going I
Figure. Narrowed the fender 1" and made a crazy franks piece for it. Since I can't afford say $10,000 or what ever they go for now. Probably going to be molding the rear fender into the frame. Sky high sissy bar. See where life takes me.

Do it

Inspired to Swap?

So if Jessop's Chop Meet made you hungry for parts (and hot dogs), or if you bought a ton of shit you actually don't need, there's good news. Three swaps are on the horizon. First, The Edmonton Motorcycle Swap Meet on October the 27th, then the Central Alberta Vintage Motorcycle Group Autumn Swap Meet in Red Deer the next day, and finally the Queen City Motorcycle & Hot Rod Swap in Regina on the 3rd of November.
