Yep, lucked into it in the 1980s. It's all original except someone had cut the toolbox tab off which I replaced. Transmission is totally shot now but that's about all that's wrong with it. And an interesting tidbit, it's an FLH, not the FL. They produced less than 450 FLHs in '57 IIRC as the high compression models were not as popular apparently.

Cheers, Steve

If I slid a Harley down 1/4 mile of Thurigen V/S coticule how much would be left?

Send me a 1/4 mile of each and I'll tell you. But not with the '57 Pan!

The police models were FLH bikes too! My '61 is a mix match being it's in a wishbone frame with jockey shift but my dad has a stock 58 duo gluide. Yours was the last of the hard tails if I'm not mistaken. What color?

Mine may have been a police bike, it had the hand shift and I bought the last conversion kit they made that Colboch HD had to convert it to foot shift. Transmission lid, cables, brackets, and levers. Thanks for that info, I never thought of that!

It was repainted badly in black when I got it, and of course when I made the transition to foot shift I replaced the tanks, so no idea about the original color. I'm not sure if the fenders were original, the rear was in bad shape and I replaced it.

Yes, last of the hard tails.

Just be careful out there. I'm an experienced rider & was a factory certified Harley-Davidson service tech for many years & this happened in less than a tenth of a second. The drunks are out with little or no regard for no one else at all but instead concentrating on having a buzz & driving. This was the typical driver going in the opposite direction, then decided to make a left turn in front of me. He couldn't hardly talk & was trying to get me to exchange insurance info before the cops got there & I said NOPE!!! When they got there, they said he had delayed response & appeared impaired, so he was on something. They told me he was most likely going to jail.
Any biker members, please watch out & ride safe. The idiots are out!!!!!!!!!!

Got a couple of others but not so pretty!
