Bill Mize's '55 Panhead

As soon as I see I've got an email from Bill I know I'm in for a treat.
Check out his amazing Sportsters in the 'Choppers archive'.
Here's his latest project, a '55 Panhead.

Bill says: "This 55 was found as a running basket in a Kansas basement. It is all 1955 including frame,
motor and trans, VL springer, Wassel fuel tank, English fender, aluminium rims,
18" rear 21" front, 4" rear tire, 2.75"front tire, front hub xr 750 spool, stock Linkert carb
with Roth/ Cycle Engineering deflector. Paint is by Brent Elsen.

I also need to thank my lovely wife Mollie, Steve Uhl for endless inspiration: "just ride your bike".
You know, he is right about that! Dan White, Rod Reisdorph and crew at hydraulic sales and services,
Chris Broders, Bill B. at fimco, Steve Buchanan.

As I have sold all of my other xlch choppers the 55 sees a lot of use."
