Ha I know what you mean. Hard mounted shovels sure vibrated like hell and required wrenching everything down regularly. I can't tell you how many side view mirrors I lost on the highway until I got a clue about blue loctite. Girls liked it though.

I always wanted an 'Easy Rider' Panhead too. That would be soo cool.

Yes it did. It was a rush. I miss that bike. That pic was taken on it's last ride. I put a couple hundred miles on it that day and was having a blast. Too much fun. I was really pushing it through the foothills going 90-100 for a long time with full gear and the girl on the back. 20 miles from home one of pushrods dislodged and the oil flew out and I lost compression.
I ended up melting one of my heads pretty good.
Shortly after that the 'dotbomb' happened and I lost my job. So I couldn't afford to fix it. I ended up selling it to pay some bills. I didn't have much choice but I sure miss that bike.
If I get another one I would like to get an FLHT Electric Glide Standard myself. It's motorcycle heaven where I live. I can ride 20 minutes north and be in the wilderness along the coast and be on roads where I find myself not changing a gear for an hour. It's incredible.
