IT ALWAYS SEEMS AS IF someone shows up with a jewel has no idea what it really is or its worth -

as a flathead its worth less then 1/2 a knucklehead and its has all the expensive pieces that are exact to a knucklehead

if you need some quick cash sure off it to a shop / or a hustler who wont give you what’s its worth in the real world

but if you actually want to make some cash on it - do your home work

I'll get to the photos eventually. Currently the bike is in my dad's garage and his panhead is ripped apart next to it so I don't even know what goes to what. I'll have to drag him out there and get some help. He shattered his knee after tearing his prized panhead down and considering he is almost 80 and knows he cant ride the panhead once its together he doesn't go into the garage much anymore. At least he can still ride the newer bike!
AS SAID IF YOU POST PHOTOS THE GUYS WLL TELL YOU WHAT BELONGS TO WHAT - IF NOT YOU WILL NOT IF GET TAKEN

Cannonball make a serious starter kit which isn't cheap but IIRC it's made in Austria and with a tiny production run I don't consider the price out of line. It tucks nicely out of the way. I'm doing a custom so my project bitsa Pan has a stock Evo Softail style Delkron cased five speed box (with kicker kit to make the end look better) and a belt drive. Being a rigid frame I don't have to cut anything, not that I'd mind.

Tech Cycle makes one too but I've read ill of those on Chop Cult so no idea if that's been sorted.
