The pitch...

​​​​​​1965 Harley Davidson Panhead Softail.
115th anniversary 1st place winner
National Motorcycle Museum exhibit the past 4 years
Number 3 Roadworx Subshock Frame.
89 inch stroker
Gas tank signed by Willie G. Davidson
Please contact me with any questions.
This is the provenance of the softail frame.
The first wide Glide ever produced, before HD purchased the patent.
The only bike in the HD Museum that is not designed by HD, on display! In Milwaukee Wisconsin! A different Roadworx Subshock bike! Next to the 1984, FXST Softail display, as shown in the pictures. The black bike.
The undisputed number 1 panhead softail in the world!
Approximately only 26 of these frames were evere made before the patent transferred to HD, with HD owning several of them.

It’s not for the average Harley rider. A well funded collector will get it for his personal collection.

Hello Jay Leno…

So many things are 90s and they left tabs and threaded holes all over the thing - no one knew what anything did - sure that is who i want to spend a bucket of money with — and the engine is a re pop the case bolt right side at the rear top adjacent to the rear jug you can see a rolled edge around the nut and no regulator platform - OEM cases you have a wave when doing the removal or even a flat spot - cant remember how many i seen done over the years - re pop they planned it so the area is curved and smooth - its what i see

***** signed what i seen him sign with a magic marker - that looks paint yea maybe but does a copy pull that coin

Worth? ... Big difference between worth and an asking price ... Blue sky money at best
