Early stage Pan project in Australia
 
Hello all

Nice forums.

I am after some advice on whether a Pan restore is viable in Australia.

Idon't think we had all that many HDs at the time. I remember mostly old Brit bikes.

I have a very recent FXDC that I love but have a spare place in the garage and am looking for a project for rainy days and to get my two boys involved.

My first thoughts were a 59 - 65 Pan (something in that year range). Nothing too dead, and take it from there.

First bike restore project. Have assisted my father with a 63 Chryselr (valiant here) restore. Pretty limited experience on the tools but have soem mates are Ok and one brother is a diesel fitter.

What would you rate my chances re: finding a suitable opproject bke and then parts/technical assistance locally? Will I end up importing a lot of gear? What should I am for and are there any good local contact points?

Cheers

Luton

Welcome to the HDForums Luton, hope someone from your neck of the woods gives you some answers. I know I have sold and helped ship some old Chrysler Hemis to Australia from Oregon USA
I would guess most if not all will have to come from the states? Good luck.
