RE: "Old school" custom panhead
What do you want the bike for?
It has a rigid frame, no sprung seat - I can tell you from years of experience that it won't ride what most consider "well." The tank is fairly small, so the range ain't gonna be all that good.
As far as the non-HD end of it, it doesn't matter if you want a Pan that's reliable enough to ride similar to a new HD. The S&S motor will be much more reliable than an original Pan and willgo much further between rebuilds. But if you want an originalPanthis ain't it.

Just lookin' for a trade for the two 2005 Sportster 1200 XL Customs I have in my gagrage. Someone approached me - I didn't know anything about these customs. I'm only lookin to cruise around town.

Sounds like a solid bike, every one should build their own bike, but you should get 10,000 any way. Most people that wants a bike like this will order their own parts and built it their way. Just because its not an original PAN dosent mean it worth less I have seen some nice original pans CHEAP!!!
