57 was the last rigid frame. So yours is pre-58. Front end is dual disc and definitely not 58 (still running drum back then) Just a first look. Bottom line don't mean nothing. Hope you got it at a fair price and gonna run the **** out of it. Nothing like a panhead going down the road. Enjoy it!

gas tank is from a 1954
So I would think that it is a strieght leg 1954 frame. the bike is probably put together out of a 1958 & a 1954. or maybe a few more. It deffinently has great potential. I love the panhead bikes, I maybe a little prejudice though since my first HD was a 1951 FL. & still hve tweenty some years later.

The guy I bought it from said the frame is a 57 Harley frame. I also got the original 58 swing arm frame with the bike. The seat is going to go, I ordered the entire pogo seat setup. The guy also said he bought the front end new several years ago. He said it was an early fatboy but I've never seen a fatboy with dual discs.??
