Reader Ride. 1950 Panhead. Sweet Custom Chop.

Matt from the Machinehead blog (be sure to check it out. Lots of great stuff) finished up a very nice build of an 1950 Panhead.

Thanks for the pics Matt. Like I posted on your comments I think it a very well balanced build. Looks like you could ride the tar out of it.  Can't wait to see that Mark 1!!

Reader Ride. Nice Superglide.

Steve G sent me these a while back and they got lost in the shuffle.  Sorry bout that.

I'm sure folks have noticed that I don't post many modern American cruisers.  This is not from prejudice on my part.  I like them fine.  But there are so many sites already dedicated to them (that do it very well) so I tend to shy away.  Anyway, this one caught my eye because it's got some really nice "go" touches without overdoing the "show".  It looks to be a cruiser that you could ride the hell out of.    Function and form and all that ...  Thanks again Steve. 

Reader Ride. An American Harley in Italy!

As opposed to the Italian Harleys we've seen in America.

This most about custom motorcycles is that no matter how outlandish a potential idea may be someone somewhere will probably get around to building one. I'd wager that torque is NOT a problem with either of these bikes.
