Obviously, not a 1950 frame since rear suspension wasn't introduced until '58 ....

+1 on the frame, but that's a nice looking bike.

It looks kinda like mine ... if I swapped out my rear fender and put in a shovelhead with pan bottom end and a 4 speed kicker! Man those old engines look so cool!

I agree. The Knucklehead is my fav.

I miss the way the pushrod tubes collected together on the engine case because of the single cam. Now with two cams they are spaced way out. Still looks good, but a bit of heritage was lost there, IMO.

Has to be a late 60's if it's a shovel to have the generator style cases or it could be a pan with shovel heads. Ditch the apes and throw a fender on the front and you have the look I like.
