Let There Be Light, or Days Gone By Part II

Our friend Forrest is at it again, sending us this classic image of him on his 1970 Shovel.
We'll let him tell you about it...
1970 Electriglide,105 total lights,200 bulets,The trick in Days Gone BY.We would go to junk yard and take all the side marker lights off fenders. side marker bulbs use less amprage .We were dedicated,on a mission,all the lamps here had different color glass lens.The most time consuming job was,each light had to be grounded.My friend Tim Holt 80yrs old, and myself are presently collecting glass lens,whitch are hard to find these days,along with bullets.We purchased a 1970 Electriglide bone stock original on ebay for 7k.These glides were slugs back then and when you add on 200 lbs of what nots,well lets put it this way,we didnt have to worry about speedy ticket!!!!!!! Night would come and WOW,BING,BANG SHESHAM,wELL YOU GET THE PITCHER.DO OVER YES,just need to live long enought to finish.yes Haifley BROTHERS, ride it like you stole it,and put it away wet.Your friends from NH,ForrestBezanson,Tim Holt wishing you a happy new year and good health.

We're Going to Miss This One... AKA- Panhead For Sale...

Our good friend Nick is selling his righteously kick ass Panhead survivor.
We'll let him tell you about it...


It was basically built from a stock '61 FL - matching cases, proper trans, original swingarm frame
with a pan hardtail welded on, stock '61 rear brake, stock '61 dual point ignition, '61 primary, oil tank, stock controls chromed, etc. The chopper parts on it are all mid 70s aftermarket - bars, steel trees, spool, seat, Branch/Mikuni carb conversion. I replaced all the soft parts, brakes, some gaskets, and changed up the seat, otherwise it's as built 35 years ago. Featured in Dice issue #26. It's a good runner and has been ridden from Phx out to Las Vegas, CA and, Mexico. No breakdowns to speak of. It sat in a garage from '82 to '08 with a chipped gear in the ratchet top which locked it in 4th gear.

Let me know if you need anything else - you can have anyone email or call me (480) 620-3749. I'd like to get $13.5K for it.
