About this model
About the Harley Davidson Panhead
The Harley-Davidson Panhead is a legendary V-twin engine and the motorcycles that carried it, produced from 1948 to 1965. The 'Panhead' nickname refers to the domed rocker box covers that resemble upturned cooking pans. Compared to the earlier Knucklehead, it offered improved oil sealing, aluminium cylinder heads for better cooling, and hydraulic valve lifters. Available as the 61 ci (1000 cc) EL and 74 ci (1200 cc) FL, it cemented Harley-Davidson's reputation as the maker of great American V-twins.
The Panhead is a pure collector's model for enthusiasts of early American motorcycle heritage. It demanded regular maintenance in its day but rewards knowledgeable owners with a unique riding experience and authentic sound. Made famous by the Easy Rider film (1969), demand for clean examples remains high. Working knowledge of vintage Harley mechanics is a prerequisite for ownership.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Check the hydraulic valve tappets for oil leaks and correct adjustment; this was the most common failure point during original production.
- Inspect the aluminium cylinder head gaskets for oil blow-by; the aluminium-to-iron interface can leak if bolts were unevenly torqued.
- Examine all wiring for dry-rot and burnt connections; many early 6-volt Panheads have been converted to 12-volt; check conversion quality.
- Check the carburettor (Linkert or Tillotson) for float bowl wear and diaphragm leaks; original parts are scarce.
- Ask about frame and engine number originality; a genuine numbers-matching Panhead commands a significantly higher price.
