Trying to ID this Build
Looking for a little help from the pros on identifying Frame/Forks/Engine/Trans or anything else if you know what it is.
Want to try and replicate this chopper but need some schooling on what is what.
I have hi-resolution photos I can email on request.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Hard used generator shovel Have to get closer to identify oil pump, but, Looks steel = '66-'67.. in a raked Panhead frame.
Stock rocker clutch, with a Jockey shifter [slap shifter]
Unknown Springer...don't look stock to me [obviously Not Stock Length]
Sissy bar stolen from someones wrought iron Porch.
Just at a Glance...

Thanks Racepres,
There is a painted '63 on the left side so thinking that is the frame?? It is the wishbone design but not sure what years they were made.
I have much better pictures(big file size) can send you or anyone else the dropbox link for a closer look if you like.
The engine is a pan bottom with shovel top I've been told but be nice to confirm that.
The forks are maybe a reproduction of a 1948 Harley Davidson Offset Springer Front End as the look identical except for the length. Not sure if there is a method of modding stock ones or if they just copied them.
Thanks again for your time.
Nice touch on the sissy bar. good laugh there.

Stock Pan oil filter, British coil, stock distributor not automatic advance, S&S super carb, Mustang tank, Stock Ridged oil tank, CEI Generator, Side car loops moved up for the highway bar, stretched at the bottom of the frame, 19" spool front Wheel, 6" flat rear fender. Just some help. I hope you have lots of money the frame and front end are going to COST you.

I would venture a guess and say the frame is not stock, unless he removed the cross bar and smoothed in the neck stampings.
Wide springer fork maybe +9 or +12 over. Could of started out as a HD unit. They used to lengthen them with Ford radius arms...front legs custom made twisted bar.
Standard (presumably) 4 speed ratchet top tranny, generator shovel.
Homemade mid foot pegs and brake pedal with mechanical drum brake.
10" rise Z-bars with 4" round mirror.
A stick tied to the down tubes for highway pegs and another stick for a shifter. (!)
Old timey ribbed front tire assuming a 21"
Corbin-Gentry stinger seat on a trailer fender.
Those are my guesses.
