Project:           ’54 Pan Head Chopper

 Overview:                                          This project began as a genuine chopper from the 1960s. The original owner is deceased, and his brother wanted the bike totally rebuilt in his memory. Everything on the old pan was rebuilt, including the frame, and new, 60s-style chrome elements were custom fabricated. Keeping with the original color scheme, the frame and all sheet metal were finished in metal flake gold.
