1948 Panheads. 1st. year for the new Panhead design and I believe the last year for the stock rigid frame with a springer front end.

Yes it does. I remember gazing lovingly at a picture of one in a book my older brother had. The Observer's Guide to Motorcycles or something.

Always like the early '60s DuoGlides too.

I love the old flat tank bikes from the early 1900's. If Harley wants to build on retro tech, they need that look in the Sportster line.

I love this bike and agree. I see a guy not and then on one on the way home from work and I love it. Hate that he rides it in the rain, but always love to see it.

Used to ride with a gentleman that had an anniversary edition of the Duece, got to be the best looking bike ever. He didn't do a thing to it but ride.

I have to agree, as I had one just like the one in this picture. A 1979 with 80 CID engine. however, the 1978 was actually the first year for the FXS Low Rider; and it came in a solid Gun Metal Gray. Never-the-less would love to find and acquire an unmolested '79 if I could.
