Sneaker swap made easy on the 53 Panhead

 Ba-da-Bing!

(lotta rust inside the rim)

 Ba-da-Bang!

 Ba-da-Boom!

and there you have it ready to roll.

Gotta thank Pete at Novello Custom. 

Carlisle Supreme made in the USA inner tube.....when was the last time you saw that?... hated to swap it out for the Drag Specialties made in China unit but it had a lot of rust stuck to it, it was very old and I figured better safe than sorry, I hope!

Getting the 53 Panhead ready for spring! too cold to ride it, may as well do some overdue maintenance.

 Added a windshield for this season, got a nice set of bags I may install as well.

 The lift we bought for Dave's garage made the job of getting the 16 X 5 tire out less of a pain in the ass, even with the brake drum un-bolted it's still tight and a struggle. 

 Didn't realize how bad it was until I got the new and old side by side. still got a little meat left on the old sneaker we'll save it for some other project!
