Your Knucklehead turned out great!
You could make the Panhead build look original with replica parts like a wishbone frame Vintage style tanks fenders front forks & buddy seat.
It would definately be more costly and hard to find all original parts for the build if you even do find them it could take years to complete the project.

You have a very nice 61" there. Do you get to ride it much? I converted everything to 12v too. Electronic ignition and got rid of the relay for circuit board voltage regulator that fits in the old relay cap.

Dual Linkerts, there is a guy Down Under that is building very nice replica frames but they are costly. Know some use Teds stuff but it is brought to you by the lowest bidder from some 3rd world $hithoe country and put together by some poor schmuck making pennies a day for his/her work. Same goes for sheetmetal unfortunately with all the fitment problems as well.
And I can attest to years trying to get correct/find correct parts. This is the start of year 11 on my 49 EL project...and still counting.

Just can't get enough of telling the family "I'm just gonna take a ride around the block".
Bike is just a blast to ride and as I've said in the past most folks don't have a clue as to what it really is.
I'm gonna ride it till I get too old to kick start it!
