BIBS' Cherry Girl

It's always been a dream of mine to build a panhead chopper.... for me instead of someone else! So, I set out to do just that. The Red Bitch was out of commission so I started doin some scheme'n The end result of such was using the motor, transmission and frame from the old girl....and adding a little more fire power to the motor. One thing led to another... I tore the old girl right down to the bone ....some of the drunks I ride with threatend to brake my legs ...but um still walkin!! hahaha!

I gotta admit, I miss the old girl and at one time I was offered 15K for her!! Oh well she wasn't a real Harley and that fooled a lot of guys! She was almost entirely aftermarket for the exception of some sheetmetal and a few internal motor parts.
I figure,one day I'll come across the real thing... 'bout a 58-64 duo-glide that is original....something I only have to maintain
Cherry girl is my last build for myself....there'll be others for other people.....but not for sometime to come.

Here is some info about Cherry Girl:

The motor is stock bore and stroke with STD heads.....Manley valves, S&S triple wound springs shovel style intake, panhead style exhaust and paughco mufflers. The compression is around 9.7-1, using K&B pistons, electronic igniton, leinweber cam, velva touch lifters, blocks and push rods, baisley roller tip rocker arms...I'm runnin overhead oilers and overhead oil drains....the oil pump is an S&S billet oil pump. The trans is a stock fl box 36-64 style with stock gearing. I've got hydraulic brakes rear and disc up front via jaybrake two-piston caliper and master cylinder.
The front wheel is a stock HD item 21" and the front end is a stock length tube front end.
The chain is a tsubaki unit, graphite treated and the frame is a v-twin replica 53-54 model year with a few tabs removed....and a few added on Gudgeon powder coated the frame.....and I highly recommend him for all your powdercoating needs!!!
Last but not least is the 9" solo seat with 5" springs to support my old dead ass.....she ride half decent too!!
